SailChecker note

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.

The marina & destination Murter · Croatia Marina Hramina

Based at Marina Hramina, in Murter, Croatia. MH 22 is operated by Marina Hramina.

Put Gradine 1

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Can MH 22 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter MH 22 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 MH 22?
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.
Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?
Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
