What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
17 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.
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.
