Who This Suits. This Bavaria C50 works well for larger groups or extended families wanting a straightforward sailing experience without the learning curve; six cabins sleep up to 12, so you can invite friends or split costs among relatives. The 2020 build means decent condition and modern systems, though this is fundamentally a comfortable cruiser rather than a luxury statement.
Standout Features. The five double plus one single cabin layout is genuinely practical for groups, and Lefkas is excellent base territory for Ionian sailing; you've got the Echinades islands, Meganisi, and Albania's coast all within easy reach. The Bavaria nameplate carries solid resale value and parts availability, which the operator will appreciate if anything needs sorting mid-charter.
Value For Money. At 4,450 euros weekly, you're looking at roughly 370 euros per person if you fill all 12 berths, which is reasonable for a modern 50-footer in this region. The 3,500 euro deposit is standard; compare that rate against a Beneteau or Jeanneau of similar size and you'll find Bavaria competitive. Lefkas itself has good provisioning and isn't a tourist premium destination like parts of Croatia.
One Honest Caveat. The 5+1 cabin split means someone gets the single cabin, which can breed resentment on longer trips; talk through cabin assignments before booking. Also confirm with MG Yachts whether the "price from" includes basics like bed linen and final cleaning

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, Greece. Amaltheia is operated by MG Yachts.
D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.
