SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for relaxed cruisers. The Bavaria 46 suits couples or small families wanting comfortable, modern sailing without the fuss of a bare boat, four cabins mean you can bring friends, and the 2020 build means everything is fresh and reliable.

Well-equipped workhorse. This boat ticks all the boxes: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar and solid navigation gear, solar panels to keep power costs down, and creature comforts like a coffee maker and TV that matter on longer charters. The hydraulic gangway is a genuine convenience for boarding with luggage.

Solid value proposition. At €2,576 per week, you're paying a fair price for a newer, four-cabin cruiser with comprehensive equipment, not stripped-down, not luxury, just honest mid-range charter value. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable.

One practical note: We don't have the base location listed, so before booking, confirm airport transfer time and whether Papoulakis Yachting offers English-speaking support, essential if you're flying from North America or Northern Europe and want hassle-free handover.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kos, in Kos, Greece. Michael Bavaria 46 Cruiser is operated by Papoulakis Yachting.

G. Papandreou Str

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kos sits in the eastern Dodecanese and offers immediate access to a compact, well-protected cruising ground; you can reach Nisyros, Tilos, and Symi within day sails, with reliable northwesterly winds in summer making the return leg straightforward. The nearby Turkish coast at Marmaris lies just 40nm south, adding variety for sailors wanting to mix Greek and Turkish anchorages. First-week routes typically loop through the inner Dodecanese islands, giving you sheltered bays and short passages ideal for shake-down sailing before committing to longer distances.

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