SailChecker note

14 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.

Solid family cruiser This 2012 Bavaria Cruiser 40 is a sensible choice for families or groups wanting a manageable 40-footer with decent comfort and gear. Three cabins and seven berths give you flexibility without the complexity of managing a larger vessel.

Well-equipped package The boat ticks the boxes: solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and a full suite of toys (dinghy, SUP, snorkeling kit) mean you're not hiring bare basics. The teak cockpit and bimini add those small luxury touches that make Mediterranean cruising more enjoyable.

Good value story At a 4.9/5 rating across eight reviews, the operator clearly delivers consistent service, that matters when you're traveling long-haul to an unfamiliar base. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests a straightforward, transparent operator.

One note though The base location isn't listed in your details, which is crucial for international charterers planning flights and transfers. Before committing, confirm where this yacht actually sails, some bases can mean awkward airport connections or unexpected travel time once you land.
