Midas (Bavaria 45 Cruiser)

Perfect for families The Midas suits groups of up to 10 looking for relaxed cruising in Greece's Ionian islands. With four cabins and solid cruising gear like autopilot and a bow thruster, she's comfortable for mixed-ability sailors who want less hassle day-to-day.

Practical, well-equipped boat Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll enjoy decent power management for modern kit, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you protected from Greek sun and occasional showers. The bow thruster is genuinely helpful in tighter anchorages, which you'll appreciate around the Ionian's popular spots.

Reasonable value proposition At 13.7 metres with four cabins, she's reasonably priced for that sleeping capacity, especially if you're splitting costs across a larger group flying into Athens or Corfu. The €2,000 deposit is refreshingly low, suggesting fair terms.

One practical note A 2012 Bavaria will be solidly built but not new; you'll want to check the condition of the upholstery and through-hull fittings carefully before committing, as the charter photos don't always reveal honest wear.
