SailChecker Expert View

Solid Mid-Range Choice The Bavaria 46 Cruiser is a well-established design that suits mixed-ability groups wanting comfort without complexity—think couples or small families who value ease over performance sailing. At 14.3 metres with four proper cabins, you're getting genuine living space rather than a compact cruiser that feels cramped after a few days.

Thoughtful Kit Onboard What stands out here is the practical cruising spec: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels for extended time away from shore power, snorkeling kit included, and dual chart plotters plus radar for confident navigation. The hydraulic gangway is a nice touch for accessibility, and galley amenities like the coffee maker and refrigerator matter more than you'd think on a week away.

Reasonable Value Proposition At a 2017 build, this yacht is modern enough to avoid charter-fleet fatigue yet established enough that support and spares are straightforward. The €3,000 deposit is reassuringly modest, suggesting fair pricing overall—typical for a solid workhorse boat rather than a premium offering.

One Honest Caveat The Bavaria 46 is neither quick nor thrilling under sail; it prioritises space and stability over pointing ability. If you're an experienced racer or want to impress with performance, look elsewhere—but for relaxed coastal cruising in places like Greece (where Papoulakis operates), that's genuinely not a weakness.

Frequently asked questions
Can Leonidas Bavaria 46 Cruiser be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Leonidas Bavaria 46 Cruiser 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 Leonidas Bavaria 46 Cruiser?
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.
