SailChecker note

10 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.

Perfect for groups This Bavaria 46 is ideal for families or friends wanting a spacious cruising yacht without breaking the bank. Four cabins sleeping up to nine makes it excellent value for larger parties splitting costs.

Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, the sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in varying conditions, and a chart plotter handles navigation. It's a proper cruising setup rather than a racing machine, which suits relaxed sailing.

Solid value proposition A 2016 Bavaria in this size range is dependable, and the €3,000 deposit is reasonable. Running costs should be predictable, these boats are straightforward to maintain and fuel-efficient for their size.

One thing to note The outboard engine is fine for a yacht this size, but outboards do require a bit more hands-on care than inboards, especially saltwater flushing after each use. Nothing alarming, just worth knowing if you're chartering with a less experienced crew.
