SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Bavaria 44 Scorpion suits groups or families wanting comfortable bareboat sailing without breaking the bank. Four cabins sleeping eight make it ideal for splitting costs across a larger party, and the teak cockpit with cushions promises relaxed evenings after exploring anchorages.

Solid practical features This boat comes properly equipped for a proper sailing holiday—bow thruster for easy marina work, autopilot for longer passages, and solar panels plus an inverter keeping your devices charged even off-grid. The sprayhood and bimini mean you're covered in dodgy weather, and Wi-Fi keeps you loosely tethered to the world if needed.

Genuinely good value At €1,860 per week split four ways, you're looking at under €500 per cabin—excellent for a 2003 Bavaria with this spec and cabin count. The €1,500 deposit is reasonable, and the breadth of gear (heating, fridge, dinghy included) means minimal surprise add-ons.

One honest note At 21 years old, this vessel will likely show her age cosmetically and may need slightly more hands-on troubleshooting than a newer boat—nothing unusual for a bareboat at this price point, but worth factoring into your confidence level if you're a first-time charter group.

Frequently asked questions
Can Scorpion be rented with or without a skipper?
Scorpion can be chartered with or without a professional skipper—you'll confirm your preference and sailing experience when booking. If you're an experienced sailor, you can take the helm yourself; if you'd prefer support, Scorpion Yacht Charter can arrange a qualified skipper for an additional fee.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Scorpion?
You'll need a valid, internationally recognised sailing qualification such as an RYA Competent Crew certificate or equivalent to bareboat charter Scorpion. If you don't hold a licence, you can either complete a pre-charter course or hire a skipper for the duration.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter price for Scorpion typically includes the yacht, all onboard safety equipment, bedding, and basic galley provisions. Fuel, mooring fees, and any additional provisioning are usually charged separately—your booking confirmation will itemise what's covered.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
At the Croatia base, you should budget for fuel, harbour fees, provisioning, and any optional services like skipper hire or cabin preparation. A checkout inspection fee may also apply; Scorpion Yacht Charter will provide a full breakdown during your pre-charter briefing.
How does the security deposit work for Scorpion?
Scorpion requires a €1,500 refundable security deposit, typically held as a credit-card authorisation at the start of your charter and released after a successful return with no damage claims. Any breakages or excess fuel consumption may be deducted before the deposit is returned.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel—Scorpion Yacht Charter's standard policy usually allows full refunds if you cancel 60+ days before arrival, with reducing refunds for later cancellations. Travel insurance is highly recommended for long-haul bookings to protect against unforeseen circumstances.
Is Scorpion insured?
Scorpion carries comprehensive marine insurance that covers third-party liability and damage to the yacht; your security deposit and any damage waiver fee work alongside this cover. Full policy details, including what you're responsible for, will be provided in your charter agreement.
What documents do I need to bring?
Bring a valid passport, your sailing qualification certificate (RYA or equivalent), travel insurance documents, and your driving licence as ID. You'll also need proof of your security deposit payment and your completed charter agreement from Scorpion Yacht Charter.
What payment methods are accepted?
Scorpion Yacht Charter accepts bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and online payment platforms—bank transfer is often preferred for larger charter fees to avoid currency fees. A deposit is typically required to secure your booking, with the balance due 60 days before arrival.
