SailChecker Expert View

Solid Family Choice The Bavaria Cruiser 40 suits families or small groups after a relaxed, hassle-free sailing week in Greece. With three cabins sleeping eight and well-chosen comfort kit like electric winches and autopilot, this 2002 boat prioritizes ease over cutting-edge thrills.

Standout Practical Features Solar panels, a sprayhood, and bimini top make real-world Greek sailing genuinely pleasant—no fighting the sun or constantly hand-cranking sails. The dinghy, outboard engine, and decent electronics (chart plotter, autopilot) mean you can anchor in quiet spots and explore without stress.

Good Value Proposition At €1,950/week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this Bavaria punches well above its price point for mainstream holidays. You're paying modest money for proven, comfortable gear and a boat that does what it promises without surprises.

One Honest Note She's now 22 years old, so expect cosmetic wear and potentially older systems that work but lack modern refinement. Budget time for the transfer from your European arrival airport—confirm charter base location with Greeceboating before booking, as it wasn't specified here.

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