Perfect starter charter The Bavaria Cruiser 37 suits couples and small families wanting a manageable, confidence-building sailing experience without the complexity of larger vessels. At 11.3 metres, she's forgiving to handle yet spacious enough for real comfort with three cabins sleeping six.

Solid mid-range spec You're getting honest essentials here, sprayhood keeps you dry, decent audio for those calm anchorages, and cushioned seating that makes long days at the helm less punishing. Nothing flashy, but everything works as it should on a boat of this age and class.

Reasonable value The €2,000 deposit is straightforward, and Bavaria builds robust, well-resale cruisers that charter companies trust for good reason. Daily rates for a 2015 Cruiser 37 sit in the accessible mid-range, making this an honest-money option if you're not chasing luxury.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, you'll want to confirm whether it's Croatia, Greece, or elsewhere before booking, as that dramatically affects flight connections from the UK or US. Once you've got that detail sorted, contact IRIS directly to verify current availability and any seasonal pricing.

The marina & destination

Based at Club Nàutic S`Arenal, in El Arenal, Spain. ALENA is operated by IRIS Yachtcharter.

Why this is a great starting point

Club Nàutic S'Arenal sits on Mallorca's east coast and offers straightforward access to the Balearic cruising grounds. Week one typically involves sailing south to Cabrera National Park (a full day's reach) or north along the sheltered east coast towards Cala Millor and beyond, with moderate easterly winds dominating summer months. The shallow, protected waters nearby suit lighter air conditions, though you'll need to plan passages carefully if heading further afield to Menorca or Ibiza.

Can ALENA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ALENA 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 ALENA?

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.
