About this yacht
<span style="color:red; font-weight:900;">HOME BASE - CASCAIS MARINA</span>
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Bavaria C45 "Wildcard" is ideal for families or friends wanting proper sleeping space without breaking the bank, four cabins across 14 metres mean everyone gets their own bunk, and the 2019 build means systems should be reasonably reliable.

Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered: bow thruster for tight harbour manoeuvres, lazy jack to make sail handling easier, chart plotter for navigation, and creature comforts like fridge and TV for downtime between sailing. The sprayhood protects the cockpit when conditions turn fresh.

Solid value proposition A modest €3,000 deposit suggests competitive daily rates for a four-cabin yacht in this size range. You're getting a modern, manageable boat without paying premium prices, good news if you're flying long-haul and want reasonable overall charter costs.

One thing to note The base location isn't listed in your data, which matters for flight connections and whether you're looking at Mediterranean ease or somewhere more remote. Worth confirming with Palmayachts directly, charter logistics are half the battle when you're travelling internationally.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina de Cascais, in Cascais, Portugal. WILDCARD is operated by Palmayachts.

Casa de Säo Bernardo

Why this is a great starting point

Marina de Cascais sits just west of Lisbon, offering straightforward access to Portugal's protected Tagus estuary and the dramatic coastline of the Sintra-Cascais National Park. Week 1 typically involves exploring the rocky coves and beach anchorages between Cascais and Guincho, then pushing south toward the limestone cliffs and fishing villages around Caparica, all achievable in light northerly winds. The marina's sheltered location makes it ideal for crews acclimatising to Atlantic conditions before longer passages toward the Algarve or southwest to the Berlengas Islands.

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