SailChecker Expert View

Solid family cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 37 is an excellent choice for families or small groups wanting comfortable bareboat sailing without complexity. With three cabins sleeping up to eight, there's genuine comfort for extended charters, and the 2018 build means systems are modern and reliable.

Practical standout features This boat checks all the boxes for hassle-free cruising: the bow thruster makes tight anchorages forgiving, autopilot handles longer passages, and the bimini plus sprayhood keep you protected from sun and spray. The swimming platform and dinghy are genuine bonuses for exploring shallow anchorages and beach stops.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and condition, you're paying a fair charter rate for a well-equipped vessel that won't nickel-and-dime you with missing gear. The €3,500 deposit is sensible, and Kiriacoulis Holidays operates professionally from their Greek base.

One practical note The Bavaria 37 is a forgiving design but not a speedboat—expect relaxed cruising rather than thrilling passages. If your group includes inexperienced sailors, confirm the operator offers adequate briefing, as systems like the bow thruster and autopilot need proper introduction to avoid frustration.

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