Angelina (Bavaria Cruiser 41)

Perfect for couples or small groups. The Bavaria Cruiser 41 is a sensible, mid-sized cruiser that suits families or friends wanting manageable sailing without the complexity of a larger vessel. At 12.3 metres, she's big enough to feel comfortable but nimble enough for one or two people to handle daysails easily.

Solid build, proven design. Bavaria builds robust cruising yachts, and the 2015 build year means "Angelina" has a decade of real-world cruising behind her. Three cabins for six berths gives decent flexibility, you're not cramped if you've got a full crew, but she's also economical to operate and berth fees won't break the bank.

Reasonable value overall. The €2,000 deposit is standard and sensible; it suggests the operator takes care of their fleet. Lycian Sail's 5/5 rating (albeit from just two reviews) is encouraging, though you'd want to read the feedback carefully and ask direct questions about condition, fuel costs, and any recent work done.

One honest note: Two reviews isn't a large sample, so do your homework, message the operator with specifics about what you want to do, check recent photos, and confirm exactly what's included in your charter rate, insurance, and whether air transfers from the nearest international airport are straightforward.
