About this yacht
New main sail and genoa 2026
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This Bavaria 46 suits multi-generational groups or two couples wanting comfortable cruising without a skipper. The four cabins and eight berths give genuine privacy, which matters on week-long charters where personal space keeps everyone happy.

Smart modern setup Solar panels, inverter, and decent onboard kit (snorkeling gear, dinghy, decent galley appliances) mean you're genuinely self-sufficient for exploring quieter anchorages. The Bimini and cockpit speakers suggest the owner understands what makes Mediterranean or Caribbean sailing actually enjoyable rather than just functional.

Honest value proposition At €3,540/week from a 2023 boat, you're paying fair money for a well-maintained, relatively new cruiser with practical amenities. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, though do clarify what damage threshold triggers deductions, AF Yachting's 4.3 rating on three reviews suggests solid but not exceptional service.

One real consideration: AF Yachting has minimal review history, so you won't find extensive feedback about their charter process, handover standards, or how they handle claims. Before committing, ask directly about their cancellation policy, fuel costs, and whether the crew briefing is thorough, especially if you're flying intercontinental and can't easily return for issues.

The marina & destination

Based at Rhodes New Marina, in Rhodes, Greece. AF-B46F is operated by AF Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Rhodes New Marina sits at the eastern edge of the Dodecanese islands, offering direct access to the Turkish coast and the protected waters of the nearby Symi and Tilos. Week 1 typically involves sailing north to island-hop through Symi, Nimos, and Alimia, or southwest toward Chalki and the Datça Peninsula; winds favour a mix of morning breezes and reliable afternoon northerlies. The marina itself is well-equipped with modern facilities and sits close enough to Rhodes Town for provisioning, making it a solid operational base for first-time visitors to Greek island sailing.

Frequently asked questions
Can AF-B46F be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter AF-B46F 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-B46F?
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.
