What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
11 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.
Who it suits This Bavaria is ideal for couples or small families wanting a relaxed, manageable sailing holiday without fuss. At 41 feet with three cabins, it strikes a nice balance between comfortable private space and straightforward handling for 2, 4 people.
Standout features The 2015 build includes genuinely useful kit: solar panels mean lower generator noise, a bow thruster takes the stress out of tight anchorages, and the swimming platform with bimini cover makes lounging between sails genuinely pleasant. Autopilot and sprayhood are welcome additions at this size.
Value for money At €2,800 per week with a modest €3,200 deposit, this boat offers solid value for a well-equipped, relatively modern cruising yacht. You're getting a reliable workhorse, not a luxury floating hotel, but the price reflects honest value.
One honest note The operator details are incomplete in the listing, so you'll want to confirm base location, whether the team speaks English fluently, and exact transfer logistics from the nearest international airport before booking, crucial when flying long-haul to charter. A quick call to Kekeris Yachts will clear this up fast.
