2BiSi (Bavaria 46 Cruiser)

Who it suits This Bavaria 46 is ideal for families or two couples wanting a comfortable, hassle-free sailing week without spending top dollar. The four cabins and eight berths give you flexibility, and the 2008 build means she's mature enough to be well-sorted but modern enough to have the essentials.

Standout features The teak cockpit and bimini top are genuine comfort upgrades for longer cruises, you won't roast in Mediterranean sun or get soaked during unexpected showers. Autopilot and chart plotter keep sailing relaxed for mixed-ability crews, and a proper dinghy onboard saves you money on transfers to shore.

Value for money At this size and age, Bavaria delivers reliable, unpretentious sailing at fair rates, no flashy modern gadgetry or designer interior, but everything works. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and BBS Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just two reviews) suggests they run a tight ship.

One heads-up The charter base location isn't listed, so before booking, confirm how many hours you'll need from your international airport and whether there's a convenient flight connection. Some bases are genuinely remote, which can eat into your sailing time on a week-long charter.
