Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 45 "Aquaholic" is a well-proven cruising design that suits families and groups of four couples, or mixed crews wanting straightforward sailing without fussing over high-maintenance systems. At 14.3 metres with four proper cabins, you'll have genuine comfort rather than squeezing into tight berths.
Practical standout features Solar panels and an inverter mean you can keep batteries topped up during quieter anchorages, while the autopilot takes the grind out of longer passages. The heating is genuinely useful in shoulder seasons, and the chart plotter keeps navigation simple and modern, exactly what a 2013 build should deliver without surprises.
Fair value proposition A €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and Bavieras hold their appeal in the charter market because they're predictable performers with good resale value, so operators don't need to squeeze margins ruthlessly. You're paying for a known quantity, not glamour.
One honest note The base location isn't listed in your details, so I can't comment on flight connections or how accessible Aloha Sailing actually is from major European or UK hubs, I'd definitely confirm transfer times and flight options before committing, especially if you're flying long-haul from the US.

Yacht Club Mai in Fethiye positions you perfectly for exploring the Turkish Riviera's most protected anchorages; week one typically takes you south to Oludeniz and the Twelve Islands, or north toward Gocek's scattered bays, both easily reached in 2-4 hour hops. The sheltered waters and light summer thermal winds make this an ideal launchpad if you're new to the region, with plenty of beach stops and quiet overnight spots within a short sail. Fethiye's town facilities, provisions, and repair services mean you can extend your charter flexibly if the season's weather turns cooperative.
