What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 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 mid-range cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 41 "Hera" is a sensible choice for groups of 4, 7 wanting comfortable coastal sailing without breaking the bank. At 12.3 metres with three cabins, she strikes a good balance between space and manageable handling for mixed-ability crews.
Well-equipped for exploration You're getting the essentials covered: chart plotter for navigation, bimini and sprayhood for sun and spray protection, plus snorkeling gear and a dinghy for exploring anchorages. The refrigerator is a genuine bonus on a boat of this size, making longer trips more pleasant.
Keen pricing for the class At €3,650 per week with just a €2,000 deposit, this represents fair value for a 2016 Bavaria in this size bracket, especially if the base offers convenient airport transfers for international guests. You're paying for a workhorse, not a luxury vessel.
One practical note The 2016 build age is perfectly acceptable, though do confirm the condition of the chart plotter and electronics during your pre-charter inspection, these are the first things to show their age on older boats. Also verify the dinghy size and outboard condition, as these vary considerably between operators.
