The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.

16 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 family cruiser The Bavaria 51 is an excellent choice for larger groups or multi-generational families who want genuine comfort without racing performance. With five cabins and 11 berths, it handles crews of 8, 10 people easily, and the 2010 build means solid construction without cutting-edge electronics.
Standout practical features You get a bow thruster (brilliant for tight mooring situations), heating for shoulder-season sailing, and a dinghy included, essentials often missing on charter boats. The sprayhood (listed twice, possibly indicating bow and cockpit protection) keeps spray off during coastal hops, and the chart plotter handles navigation reliably enough for Mediterranean or Adriatic cruising.
Good value proposition At this size and age, the Bavaria 51 offers strong accommodation-to-cost ratio. The €2,300 deposit is reasonable, and you're hiring a forgiving boat that doesn't demand expert helmsmanship, making it ideal if your crew has mixed experience levels.
One thing to note The 15.5m length is substantial, so factor in whether your budget covers potential mooring fees at busier bases, and confirm the charter base location and your nearest international airport, as positioning costs can add up for long-haul travellers from the US or northern Europe.

Based at Marina Hramina, in Murter, Croatia. MH 22 is operated by Marina Hramina.
Put Gradine 1
Marina Hramina sits on Murter island in central Dalmatia, giving you direct access to the Kornati archipelago within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves exploring the 140-plus islands and islets of the Kornati National Park, with short hops between anchorages and established mooring fields; prevailing northwesterly winds (Bora) and southeasterly winds (Jugo) allow flexible routing through the labyrinth. The nearby Sibenik area and Krka river estuary offer alternative cruising if you want to head south, while the marina itself provides reliable facilities and holds good shelter from most wind directions.
Sea above 20°C is comfortable swimming · above 22°C is full-summer · below 18°C feels brisk.
We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
