What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
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.
