SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups Desdemona is a spacious 2023 Bavaria with five cabins and 11 berths, making her ideal for larger parties or multi-family getaways who want to share costs and sailing duties comfortably.
Well-equipped modern boat She's got all the essentials for bareboat sailing, bow thruster for tight harbour manoeuvres, autopilot for easier passage-making, chart plotter in the cockpit, and a swimming platform to cool off between anchorages. The sprayhood is a nice touch for crew comfort in Swedish waters.
Solid value proposition At €5,500 per week with a reasonable €3,500 deposit, this works out to under €500 per person for a week if you're eight on board, which is genuinely competitive for a modern, well-maintained five-cabin yacht. You're getting a newer boat without charter-fleet wear.
Base location matters Sweden's a stunning cruising ground, but do check where exactly this boat operates, Stockholm archipelago and west coast options have very different appeal and logistical implications for long-haul visitors flying in from the US or southern Europe. Factor in ground transfers and whether you're comfortable with colder water and shorter summer sailing season.

The marina & destination
Based at Göteborg City Marina, in Göteborg, Sweden. Desdemona is operated by Yachtcharter Sweden.
Järnmalmsgatan
Göteborg City Marina sits at the gateway to the Stockholm archipelago and the Norwegian coast, both easily reached within a week's sailing. From here, week 1 typically involves exploring the nearby Bohuslän coast with its granite islands and sheltered anchorages, or pushing north toward the Kattegat if winds favour. The marina's central location and westerly exposure make it ideal for charters targeting either Scandinavian cruising ground, though expect stronger tidal flows and cooler conditions than southern European bases.
