BBQ GRILL - INVERTER

Who it suits This Bavaria C45 is ideal for families or small groups of 4, 8 people who want a comfortable, easy-to-handle cruiser without breaking the bank. The 2019 build and well-appointed cabin layout make it accessible for mixed experience levels, from confident beginners upward.

Standout features The bow thruster and autopilot are genuinely useful for charter, they take stress out of tight anchorages and long passages. You also get a dinghy included, which is worth its weight for exploring shallow bays, plus practical touches like the sprayhood and Bimini to keep everyone comfortable in variable weather.

Value for money At 14 metres with four cabins, the Bavaria C45 punches above its weight for space and livability. The modest €2,800 deposit suggests competitive weekly rates, and Laguna Yachting's track record is solid, you're getting a no-fuss, mid-range package that delivers real comfort without premium pricing.

One honest note The vessel data doesn't specify the base location, so you'll want to confirm where "Red Horizon" is actually moored before committing. Check airport transfer logistics and flight connections to that base, some charter hubs are far more convenient for international travel than others.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Villa Igiea, in Palermo, Italy. Red Horizon is operated by Laguna Yachting.

Via San Guli 41

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Villa Igiea sits in Palermo's harbour and puts you within reach of the Tyrrhenian Sea's best week-one cruising. From here you can sail east along the northern Sicilian coast to the Aeolian Islands, typically a 2-3 day passage with moderate summer winds, or work westward toward the Egadi Islands. The marina's central location makes it ideal for charters exploring Sicily's mixed itineraries of coastal towns, island anchorages, and protected bays.

Can Red Horizon be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Red Horizon 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 Red Horizon?

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.
