SailChecker Expert View

Perfect family cruiser. The Bavaria 46 is an excellent choice for groups of up to 8 wanting a comfortable, well-equipped sailing holiday without sacrificing space or reliability. The four-cabin layout and 8-berth capacity make it ideal for families or two couples who value practical comfort over luxury.

Standout practical features. Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuinely useful additions on a boat this size, while the teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood mean you'll stay comfortable in Mediterranean sun and occasional rougher weather. The included snorkeling gear, dinghy, and outboard motor give you flexibility to explore anchorages properly.

Strong value proposition. At 16 years old, this Bavaria is well-maintained by a highly-rated operator (5/5 from 8 reviews), which speaks volumes about Athenian Yachts' standards. The modest €600 deposit and solid spec-to-age ratio suggest realistic, honest pricing rather than inflated expectations.

One honest note: The 2008 build means you're chartering an older hull—electronics and wear may show more than newer alternatives, though the operator's perfect rating suggests they keep on top of maintenance. Consider this if your group prioritizes cutting-edge comfort, but it's a fair trade for the price point.

Frequently asked questions
Can LILA be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter LILA 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 LILA?
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.
