What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
11 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.
Ideal for families The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a superb choice if you're bringing the whole crew, four cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space, which is rare at this price point. The 2015 build is well-maintained and hits that sweet spot between modern comfort and proven reliability.
Strong practical setup You've got the essentials nailed: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for longer passages, and a swimming platform for those hot Adriatic days. The galley fridge and dinghy are genuinely useful rather than luxury add-ons, and the bimini keeps the sun off when you need it most.
Honest value proposition At €2,489 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this represents solid mid-market value for a four-cabin boat in the Mediterranean. Adriatic Charter's 4.7-star rating across seven reviews suggests they look after their fleet, which matters when you're hiring from abroad.
One fair caveat At 14.4 metres, she's not enormous, four of you will feel spacious, but ten berths means some cabins are compact and shared facilities get busy on full charters. Check the cabin layouts carefully if you're planning to use all ten spots, as cruising comfort drops significantly when you're sleeping tight.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
