What KateBot thinks Strengths and trade-offs
Who This Suits. The Bavaria C50 works well for larger groups or families wanting straightforward sailing without fuss; 12 berths across five cabins means you can split costs comfortably with friends or charter as a multi-family holiday.
What Stands Out. It is a 2024 build, so you get modern systems and minimal wear; the Croatian Adriatic base puts you near good sailing and island-hopping grounds, plus Dalmatia has solid infrastructure for international visitors flying into Split or Dubrovnik.
Value For Money. At €2700 per week with only €3000 deposit, this Bavaria is competitively priced for a large, new vessel; that spreads well across a group of eight to twelve people, making per-person costs very reasonable.
One Thing To Note. Bavaria production models are reliable but fairly standard in layout and finish; if you want distinctive character or premium styling, this is a functional workhorse rather than a showpiece, though that also keeps the charter rate sensible.

The marina & destination D-Marin Dalmacija Marina · Croatia
Based at D-Marin Dalmacija Marina, Croatia. Big blue is operated by Navigo Yacht Charter.
D-Marin Dalmacija in Sukošan sits on Croatia's central Dalmatian coast, positioning you perfectly for the sheltered island-hopping grounds of the Zadar archipelago. Week one typically takes you south through the Kornati National Park's limestone islands or northwest toward Dugi Otok, both offering protected anchorages, moderate northwesterly winds, and short day hops of 10 to 20 nautical miles. The marina itself has full facilities and good provisioning, making it an efficient departure point before heading into deeper waters toward Split or the Adriatic's outer islands.
