MH 82 (Bavaria 46 CN)

Ideal for groups This Bavaria 46 suits families or small groups after a comfortable, well-equipped cruiser rather than a racing machine. Four cabins sleeping up to 9 makes it practical for two couples or a multi-generational trip, though that berth count means some tight sleeping arrangements.

Solid cruising kit You get the essentials covered: autopilot, bow thruster, chart plotter, and a dinghy for exploring anchorages. The bimini and sprayhood are genuine comfort adds for longer Mediterranean or European passages, and heating means shoulder-season sailing is realistic.

Fair value proposition At 2018 with a modest €2000 deposit, this Bavaria delivers honest mid-range cruising without breaking the bank. You're not paying for cutting-edge performance, but the boat's straightforward design and proven platform make it reliable and easy to brief a mixed-ability crew.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in your data, so confirm airport transfer logistics before booking, if it's a remote Croatian or Greek marina, factor in 2, 3 hours ground transfer from major international hubs. TV and radio-CD suggest she's more about relaxed anchoring than passage-making, which shapes where she'll shine.
