SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for cruisers This 2022 Bavaria C42 suits couples and small groups wanting straightforward, comfortable sailing without the complexity of a larger yacht. The three cabins and six berths work well for a family or two couples sharing costs.

Practical standouts You get genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels and inverter for off-grid comfort, and a well-equipped cockpit with chart plotter and autopilot built in. The lazy jack and bag system makes sail handling pleasantly effortless, which matters on a week-long charter.

Fair value proposition At this size and vintage, the Bavaria C42 punches above its weight for mixed-ability sailors, stable, forgiving, and modern enough to feel like a proper cruising boat rather than a hand-me-down. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests transparent, professional management by Ankereva.

One honest note We don't have the base location or daily rate from your inquiry, so check exactly where Ankereva operates and factor in your international flight logistics. A 12-metre boat feels spacious on the water but cosy below deck, if anyone in your group values cabin privacy over shared adventure, worth discussing cabin arrangements upfront.

Frequently asked questions
Can Nirvana be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Nirvana 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 Nirvana?
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.
