Perfect for couples & small groups. This 2024 Bavaria C38 is an ideal choice if you're after a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht without the complexity of a larger vessel, ideal for four to six people or three couples seeking comfort without compromise.

Smart, contemporary design. The bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter make this boat genuinely easy to handle, even if your crew isn't highly experienced. Add the bimini and sprayhood for real-world comfort on longer passages, plus a solid galley and three proper cabins, you won't feel cramped.

Reasonable value proposition. At 11.4 metres with modern systems and a 2024 build, this yacht offers good bang for your charter buck. The €3,500 deposit is fairly standard for this class, so budget accordingly for the full weekly rate once you check with Marimari directly.

One realistic note: We don't have the base location listed here, so before booking, confirm the flight time from your nearest major airport, charter logistics matter when you're traveling internationally, and some bases require longer transfers than others.

The marina & destination

Based at Porto di Tropea, in Tropea, Italy. Bavaria C38 is operated by Marimari.

Why this is a great starting point

Porto di Tropea sits on Calabria's Tyrrhenian coast and provides straightforward access to the Aeolian Islands, reachable in 2-3 days of sailing north. Week 1 typically involves working up the coast toward Stromboli and Panarea with moderate summer winds from the north; the route rewards slower cruisers with stops at smaller Calabrian anchorages before committing to the exposed crossing. The marina itself offers good provisioning in town, though holding ground in the approaches can be variable, so confirm conditions with the harbourmaster before departure.

Can Bavaria C38 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Bavaria C38 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 Bavaria C38?

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.
