What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
18 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 family choice The Bavaria 46 is a reliable, spacious cruiser that suits families or groups of up to 10 looking for comfortable bareboat sailing without breaking the bank. Four cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, and the heating plus bimini/sprayhood make her usable across seasons.
Well-equipped vessel Solar panels are a genuine bonus for extended cruising, and the inclusion of a stand-up paddle board adds value for those wanting to explore anchorages. At 14.3 metres, she's manageable enough for couples with sailing experience but roomy enough for groups, a nice sweet spot for charter versatility.
Keen pricing At €2,100 per week with just a €2,000 deposit, this represents decent value for a four-cabin boat in 2024, especially if the base location offers reasonable airport access for international guests. The solar panels help keep generator runtime down, which matters on longer charters.
One practical note A 2008 boat means systems are getting on a bit, nothing unusual for charter fleets, but you'll want to confirm engine hours and the condition of standing rigging before committing. We'd recommend a full pre-charter survey walkthrough with the operator to avoid surprises once you're underway.
