SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups SY Sissi suits families or friend groups of 8–10 people wanting comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. With five cabins and solid amenities like Wi-Fi, a working galley (coffee maker, ice maker, fridge), and snorkeling gear included, this Bavaria 51 ticks practical boxes for a week-long charter.

Smart cruising features The bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter make handling easier in tight anchorages—handy if you've got mixed sailing experience on board. Solar panels and an inverter show thoughtful energy management, and the sprayhood plus bimini mean you're covered from sun and spray without constant sail adjustments.

Strong value proposition At around €4,070 per week, you're looking at roughly €407 per person for a 10-berth boat—genuinely competitive for a 2009 Bavaria with this kit. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and bundled snorkeling equipment saves you rental costs if you're exploring Mediterranean anchorages.

Age-related consideration She's 15 years old, so while Bavaria builds robust cruisers, you might encounter the occasional repair hiccup or minor system quirk on a longer charter. It's worth asking the operator, Sail Your Soul, about recent maintenance history and what their support looks like if something needs attention mid-week.

Frequently asked questions
Can SY Sissi be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter SY Sissi 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 SY Sissi?
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.
