What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
20 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for groups This Bavaria 46 suits larger sailing groups or families who want comfortable accommodation without breaking the bank. With 4 cabins sleeping 10, you get genuine space and privacy compared to smaller charter yachts.
Well-equipped classic Built in 2006, Biki punches above its weight with a bow thruster, electric winches, and autopilot, essentials that make sailing easier and less physically demanding. The teak cockpit and cushions suggest the owner takes pride in her upkeep.
Strong value proposition At €2,400 per week plus a modest €2,000 deposit, this represents solid value for a 46-footer that sleeps 10. You're paying roughly €240 per person per week for a well-equipped boat, hard to beat for group charters.
One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, so you'll need to confirm where you're flying into and how far the marina is from the airport. That said, OceanMed is a reputable operator across Mediterranean destinations, so logistics should be straightforward once you choose your sailing region.
