SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for small groups. The Bavaria C42 "Sorores" is an excellent choice for couples or small families wanting a modern, well-equipped sailing experience without breaking the bank. With three cabins and six berths, it sleeps everyone comfortably for a week away.

Modern essentials included. This 2024 build comes with genuinely useful kit, autopilot and bow thruster take the stress out of handling, while solar panels and an inverter mean you can anchor in quiet spots without draining batteries. The swimming platform and bimini make those hot-weather cruises far more enjoyable.

Excellent value proposition. At this size and age, you're getting a new boat with solid systems and a modest €2,000 deposit, which is reasonable. Running costs should be straightforward, and Sail On Yachting has a solid reputation for maintenance.

One honest note: The base location isn't specified in your brief, so I'd recommend checking sailing distances from the airport, some Mediterranean bases involve 2+ hour transfers, which adds fatigue on top of long-haul travel. Once you know where it's moored, you'll have a clear picture of logistics.

The marina & destination

Based at Albatros Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. Sorores is operated by Sail On Yachting .

Sarıana Mh, Mustafa Münir Elgin Blv. No:46

Why this is a great starting point

Albatros Marina in Marmaris puts you within easy reach of the Turkish Riviera's most popular week-one cruising grounds: the Bozburun Peninsula to the east and the Greek islands of Symi and Rhodes to the south, both achievable in 4-6 hours of sailing. The marina benefits from consistent northwesterly winds during summer months, which favor passages along the coast toward Datça and into the shallow bays around Ekincik. From here, a typical first week involves island-hopping between protected anchorages, exploring pine-backed coves, and visiting working fishing villages with minimal tourist infrastructure.

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