What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families The Bavaria 46 with four cabins and nine berths is perfect for multi-generational groups or two couples who want comfortable private sleeping quarters without breaking the bank. The 2020 build means everything's modern and reliable, which matters when you're flying in from abroad and want hassle-free sailing.
Well-equipped cruiser This boat ticks all the practical boxes, bow thruster and autopilot make single-handed sailing easier, solar panels plus inverter mean you can anchor without draining batteries, and the teak deck gives that premium feel. The ice maker and coffee maker are nice touches for longer charters, and the dinghy with outboard opens up anchorages the bigger boats can't reach.
Strong value proposition At €4,239 per week from a Greek base with modest €3,000 deposit, you're getting a spacious, well-specced boat at fair mid-market rates. For US or UK clients flying to the Sporades, the Skiathos location is convenient, short hop from Athens airport and excellent sailing in that region.
One realistic note The four-cabin layout means the yacht works best fully booked; if you're a couple wanting solo sailing, you'll be paying for unused space. Teak decks also need regular maintenance, so factor that into your expectations for an older charter boat.
