What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 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.
Ideal for families This 46-footer suits groups of 4, 6 wanting a comfortable, well-equipped cruising experience without breaking the bank. The four cabins and nine berths give you flexibility, whether you're bringing kids or splitting costs with friends.
Solid cruising kit The Bavaria 46 is a proven design built for reliability, and this one's nicely spec'd, autopilot, chart plotter, radar, and bow thruster make sailing easier, while diving and snorkeling gear add real value if you're exploring the Azores properly. Wi-Fi and a fridge are welcome modern touches.
Fair value proposition The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and you're chartering a well-maintained 2014 model from an operator with a solid 5-star rating. For a 10-day Azores charter, this represents decent middle-ground pricing, not budget, not ultra-premium.
Small caveat The operator profile here is minimal (just one review to date), so you're taking a slight leap of faith; I'd recommend reaching out directly to confirm recent maintenance records and get a feel for their communication style before committing. The Azores location is spectacular but remote, factor in the flight logistics to get there from Europe or North America.
