AF-C4523 (Bavaria C45)

Ideal for larger groups This Bavaria C45 suits families or friend groups of 8, 12 people seeking a modern sailing experience without breaking the bank. The five-cabin layout and 12-berth capacity make it genuinely spacious compared to smaller charter yachts, so you won't feel cramped.

Smart, practical setup Built in 2023, this yacht includes genuinely useful features: solar panels reduce generator reliance, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and the swimming platform transforms downtime at sea. The autopilot and chart plotter are standard essentials that work well for mixed-ability crews.

Strong value proposition At €3,599 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, you're looking at honest pricing for a newer 14-metre vessel that sleeps a crowd. For international travelers flying in, this base delivers serious capability per euro spent, though you'll want to confirm the exact location and airport transfer logistics with AF Yachting directly.

One minor note The operator has just 3 reviews at 4.3/5, which is solid but limited feedback. Before committing, it's worth asking AF Yachting directly about their handover process, maintenance standards, and any quirks with the specific boat, especially important when you're coordinating a big group flight across time zones.
