SMARAGDA (Bavaria C46)

Who it suits This is an excellent choice for families or small groups seeking a modern, well-equipped cruiser without breaking the bank. At nearly 14 metres with four cabins, you've got comfortable sleeping for up to nine people, making it ideal for multi-generational trips or friends splitting costs.

Standout features The 2025 Bavaria is packed with practical kit: solar panels and air conditioning mean genuine comfort in warm climates, while the bow thruster and outboard engine take the stress out of tight mooring spots. A sprayhood and proper chart plotter round out the cruising-friendly spec, this boat is ready to go without needing extras hired on.

Value for money At around €4,300 per week, you're getting a new, feature-rich sailing yacht with solid cabin space at a genuinely fair rate. The modest €3,600 deposit is refreshingly low, and the included dinghy saves you money on tender hire, that adds real value if you're exploring anchorages.

One honest note We don't have the charter base location in the listing, so before booking, confirm where this vessel operates and factor in your flight logistics from the UK or Europe. A quick email to SP-Travel will sort that, but it's worth checking airport proximity and transfer times before committing.
