Ideal for families The Bavaria 46 Cruiser is a brilliant choice for groups of 4, 8 people seeking comfort without complexity. With four cabins and modern 2020 build quality, it's spacious enough that everyone gets privacy, yet manageable for mixed experience levels.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat ticks the practical boxes: bow thruster for easy docking, sprayhood and bimini for protection from the elements, and a proper galley refrigerator for week-long provisions. The lazy bag keeps the mainsail tidy between sails, reducing deck work on casual cruises.

Solid value proposition At 14.3 metres with eight berths and a modest €3,500 deposit, you're getting decent per-person cost efficiency for a newer, mainstream cruiser. The outboard engine is reliable and straightforward to manage.

One note of caution The operator has only one five-star review on record, so there's limited feedback history to assess consistency in maintenance or charter support. Before booking, ask directly about their response times and English-language support, important when you're flying in from abroad and need quick assistance with anything unexpected.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Villa Igiea, in Palermo, Italy. Baaria is operated by Sailing Boat Service.

Via San Guli 41

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Villa Igiea sits in Palermo's harbour and puts you within reach of the Tyrrhenian Sea's best week-one cruising. From here you can sail east along the northern Sicilian coast to the Aeolian Islands, typically a 2-3 day passage with moderate summer winds, or work westward toward the Egadi Islands. The marina's central location makes it ideal for charters exploring Sicily's mixed itineraries of coastal towns, island anchorages, and protected bays.

Can Baaria be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Baaria 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 Baaria?

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.
