SailChecker Expert View

Solid cruiser for families The Bavaria Cruiser 41 suits couples and small families who want comfortable, manageable sailing without constant hands-on work. Three cabins and seven berths give you flexibility, whether you're bringing kids or splitting costs with another couple—that's real value for a week away.

Well-equipped and thoughtful Quintessa impresses with practical touches: bow thruster and hydraulic gangway make docking genuinely easier, solar panels keep batteries topped up, and the teak cockpit with speakers suggests someone's invested in making time aboard actually enjoyable. The swimming platform and dinghy are bonuses for exploring anchorages properly.

Good value proposition At 12.3 metres, this is a forgiving size—large enough to feel spacious, small enough to handle without a professional crew. The 2017 build age and solid spec (autopilot, fridge, generator-ready setup) deliver solid comfort for the charter cost bracket you'd expect.

One realistic note The operator rating is based on just two reviews, so take it as promising rather than conclusive feedback. Before booking, ask MG Yachts directly about the charter base location, flight connections, and whether they offer air-crew briefing—those details matter far more than ratings when you're coordinating international travel.

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