Ideal for larger groups. With 5 cabins and 10 berths, Papaya works brilliantly if you're bringing friends or family—everyone gets decent personal space rather than bunking down in tight quarters. The 2019 build means she's modern enough to be comfortable without feeling brand new (and the price usually reflects that sweet spot).

Well-equipped cruiser. The bow thruster and autopilot handle the heavy lifting in tight anchorages and longer passages, while the lazy jack and sprayhood make everyday sailing genuinely pleasant. Thoughtful touches like the teak cockpit, snorkeling kit, and SUP suggest an owner who understands what makes charter memorable—not just functional.

Solid value proposition. At 15.5m, she's a manageable size that doesn't need a professional crew, yet the Bavaria 51 is roomy enough that you won't feel cramped. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable for a yacht of this size and spec.

One minor note: The operator has only one review on file, so track record data is thin—worth asking direct questions about turnover, maintenance schedules, and what's included in your package before committing. That said, the 5-star rating is encouraging.

Can Papaya be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Papaya 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 Papaya?

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.
