What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
25 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 mixed groups. The Bavaria 47 suits families, friends, or couples wanting a comfortable bareboat with real cruising range. Four cabins and eight berths mean you can split costs across a larger party, making this excellent value for a week-long Mediterranean or Atlantic adventure.
Well-equipped and livable. Solar panels, inverter, Wi-Fi, ice maker, and a bow thruster signal this boat is set up for real comfort and modern convenience. The radar, chart plotter, and autopilot are genuinely useful for longer passages, and the snorkeling gear plus dinghy open up proper exploration of anchorages.
Solid mid-range value. At 23 years old, the Bavaria 47 is a proven, sturdy cruiser with a loyal following, you're not paying for shiny newness, but you get genuine sea-keeping ability. A €2,000 deposit is reasonable; factor in fuel and provisioning carefully, as the outboard will drink diesel on longer motor passages.
One real consideration. The 2001 build means systems like the Wi-Fi and electronics will need reliable troubleshooting support, confirm Sail Your Soul has English-speaking technical backup available, especially if you're flying in from the UK or US and can't troubleshoot remotely.
