What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal starter cruiser This 2024 Bavaria C38 suits couples and small families wanting a manageable, modern sailing yacht without the complexity of larger vessels. At 11.3 metres with three cabins, it's spacious enough for two families or a group of friends, yet still responsive and easy to handle.
Smart modern touches Solar panels, autopilot, and a bow thruster make cruising genuinely more relaxing, while the swimming platform and bimini are perfect for Mediterranean or warm-water sailing. The fact it's a 2024 build means you're getting current standards and minimal wear on systems that matter.
Strong value proposition At €3,321 weekly with only a €3,200 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a brand-new boat in this size bracket. You're paying for reliability and modern comfort without premium big-boat costs.
One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed, so do confirm transfer times from your arrival airport, that can make a real difference when flying long-haul. Once you know where Kekeris operates, check how many hours you'll need to travel after landing to actually cast off.
