Solid Mid-Range Choice The Bavaria 46 Cruiser suits families and small groups who want a forgiving, comfortable boat without breaking the bank. With four cabins and nine berths, you've got sleeping space for a proper crew, and the 2007 build is mature enough to be reliable without being ancient.

Smart Practicalities Onboard This yacht ticks the boxes that matter: bow thruster for easier mooring, autopilot for reducing fatigue on longer passages, and solar panels plus a chart plotter for modern cruising. The Bimini and sprayhood mean you're not getting hammered by sun or spray all day, particularly useful if you're sailing somewhere hot and unfamiliar.

Fair Value Proposition The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and AF Yachting's 4.3-star rating across three reviews suggests a competent, straightforward operator. For a 14-metre cruiser in this age bracket, you're looking at a sensible balance between capability and cost.

One Honest Note The yacht is now 17 years old, so while it's still a capable vessel, you're not getting cutting-edge systems, older electronics and rigging will need more attention than a newer boat, and resale or maintenance surprises are possible. Check the engine and through-hulls carefully during your pre-charter survey.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. AF-B46C is operated by AF Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can AF-B46C be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter AF-B46C bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter AF-B46C?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
