Simba (Bavaria 46 C)

Perfect for families The Bavaria 46 is a well-established cruising platform that suits groups of up to 8 or families wanting comfortable space without complexity. Four cabins give everyone decent privacy, and the 2016 build means systems should be reliable without feeling dated.

Solid cruising kit You get the essentials covered, autopilot for longer passages, a swimming platform (brilliant for med cruising), bimini for shade, and a dinghy included. It's not packed with gadgets, but that keeps things straightforward and the boat easy to handle.

Good value proposition A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and Almira Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across reviews suggests professional, hassle-free service. For a 46-footer in this segment, pricing should sit in the mid-range, expect solid bang for your buck on a week's charter.

One note on location The charter base details aren't shown here, so before booking, confirm the airport transfer logistics and whether the base has English-speaking support (important if you're flying in from the US or northern Europe). That will affect your arrival day smoothness.
