Excellent family vessel The Bavaria 55 Cruiser is a fantastic choice for larger groups or multi-family charters—five cabins sleeping up to 12 makes it genuinely spacious for sharing costs. The 2011 build offers proven reliability with a design that's still competitive for comfort and ease of handling.

Standout comfort features You get proper cruising essentials here: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for longer passages, swimming platform for those Adriatic swims, and a bimini for shade. The sprayhood and dinghy round out a well-thought-out package for a week's proper sailing rather than just day-tripping.

Solid value proposition At €1,972 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this represents genuine value for a five-cabin boat in the Mediterranean. The 4.7-star operator rating (7 reviews) suggests reliable service, which matters when you're flying from the US, UK, or Europe for your charter.

One honest note At 13 years old, this yacht is more "trusted workhorse" than cutting-edge—absolutely seaworthy and well-maintained, but you won't have the latest tech or finishes. If brand-new fittings are non-negotiable, look at newer stock; otherwise, Vivace offers genuine character and proven value.

Can Vivace be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Vivace 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 Vivace?

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.
