What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
21 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Solid Mid-Range Choice The Bavaria 46 is a proven workhorse for mixed groups of up to nine people who want comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. At nearly 15 metres with four cabins, it strikes a practical balance between space and ease of handling for crews with modest sailing experience.
What Stands Out You're getting a well-equipped cruiser with modern navigation (chart plotter) and entertainment for downtime; the cockpit speakers are a nice touch for those relaxed evenings at anchor. The 2005 build age means it's established and reliable, though you'll want to confirm current condition and recent maintenance directly with El Yachting.
Value Question At roughly €1,830 per week plus a modest €1,800 deposit, the pricing is competitive for a four-cabin boat in this size bracket. However, without knowing the charter base location or what's included (fuel, provisioning, final cleaning), it's hard to judge true value, I'd recommend asking El Yachting for a full breakdown to compare fairly with alternatives.
One Honest Note The listing is sparse on location details, which matters when you're flying intercontinental; you'll want to confirm proximity to a major airport and whether El Yachting arranges transfers, as a remote base could add significant cost and hassle to your journey.
