Perfect starter choice The Bavaria C38 suits couples and small families wanting their first bareboat experience or a relaxed sailing holiday without premium pricing. At 11.4 metres with three cabins and room for eight, it balances comfort and ease of handling for mixed-ability crews.

Solid modern kit You get genuinely useful equipment here: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, solar panels help offset generator time, and the sprayhood keeps the watch dry in Atlantic swells. The 2024 build means everything's current and reliable, which matters when you're flying in from overseas.

Strong value proposition At €2,568 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this is fairly priced for a new boat in a well-serviced Mediterranean or Adriatic base. You're not paying premium rates for a flagship name, just a competent, properly-equipped sailing platform.

One practical note The operator CRO-MAR suggests a Croatian base (likely Dalmatian coast), which typically means a long connection through Zagreb or split—factor in 2–3 hours ground time from major European hubs. Check the exact base location before booking, as it affects your travel day considerably.

Can Petra be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Petra 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 Petra?

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.
