Leonidas (Bavaria 50 Cruiser)

Ideal for groups At 15.2 metres with five cabins and 12 berths, Leonidas is built for larger parties or family gatherings who want to split costs and share the sailing experience. She's a straightforward, practical cruiser rather than a luxury yacht, perfect if camaraderie matters more than cutting-edge finishes.

Solid cruising kit The Bavaria 50 is a proven design with useful extras: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for long passages, sprayhood and bimini for comfort, plus a dinghy included. You're getting genuine working equipment that takes the stress out of group sailing.

Strong value proposition At €2,600 per week, the per-person cost drops dramatically across five cabins, think €200, 300 each depending on occupancy. That's genuinely competitive for a bareboat of this size and completeness, especially if your crew can handle sailing independently.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed here, so I can't advise on flight connections or transfer times to get you and your group there; do check with SailWays on that before booking. A 2008 vessel is well-maintained in the right hands, but do inspect systems carefully during handover, five cabins mean more to go wrong if the previous charter was hard on her.
