What KateBot thinks Strengths and trade-offs
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.
Who It Suits. This Bavaria 55 works well for groups of 6-8 people wanting comfortable cruising without pushing into the luxury bracket; at 16.8 metres she's spacious enough to feel relaxed but nimble enough for mixed-ability crews.
Standout Features. Four cabins with ten berths give good flexibility for larger family groups or friends, and at 2010 she's recent enough that systems and sails should be reliable without the premium price tag of a newer build.
Value For Money. At €7,600 per week from a Canary Islands base, you're paying sensible rates for a well-established cruising platform; Tenerife offers consistent trade winds and easy onward sailing to neighbouring islands or towards Morocco and beyond.
Logistical Heads Up. Puerto Colón sits on Tenerife's south coast near Playa de las Américas; most visitors fly into Tenerife North or South airports, so confirm transfer times and whether Ocean Peak Charters arranges pickups, as airport distance can eat into your first day.

The marina & destination Club Náutico Puerto Colón · Spain
Based at Club Náutico Puerto Colón, Spain. Lady Sunshine is operated by Ocean Peak Charters.
Club Náutico Puerto Colón sits in Santa Cruz de Tenerife's working harbor, offering direct access to the northern Canary Islands' trade-wind sailing. From here, week 1 typically takes you south along Tenerife's leeward coast to the sheltered anchorages at Los Cristianos or west toward Gran Canaria's western bays, with consistent northeast winds making these routes straightforward. The marina gives you a solid working harbor base before pushing into the broader archipelago, though note that the city setting means less of a resort atmosphere than southern marina bases.

- Club Náutico Puerto Colón · Spain
- Check-in
- Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
- Check-out
- By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
- Licences
- Spanish PER, RYA Day Skipper, or ICC accepted plus VHF licence. The Balearics enforce more strictly than the mainland coast — bring originals, not photocopies.
- Security deposit
- €1,000 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
- Cancellation
- Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).
