Solid family choice. The Bavaria Cruiser 45 is a proven workhorse for groups of 6, 8 wanting genuine comfort without breaking the bank. Four cabins with decent berths and practical amenities like heating and a bow thruster make this boat manageable for mixed ability crews.

Well-equipped for cruising. You get the essentials that matter: autopilot for longer passages, a swimming platform for anchorages, bimini for sun protection, and a sprayhood to keep things dry in choppier conditions. The refrigerator and radio-CD player add to the cruising experience without unnecessary frills.

Excellent value proposition. At under €2,800 per week, this 2012 Bavaria offers real money-for-space compared to newer builds, you're paying for a capable boat, not a brand-new interior. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable and typical for this size and age.

One practical note: The operator (Sailmarine) and base location aren't listed in your data, so confirm transit times from your arrival airport and whether they offer proper provisioning and crew briefing. Bavaria Cruisers are straightforward to handle, but knowing your base's English-speaking support and handover process matters when flying long-haul.

The marina & destination

Based at Saltsjö Pir Marina, in Stockholm - Saltsjöbaden, Sweden. Alma is operated by Sailmarine.

Why this is a great starting point

Saltsjö Pir Marina sits on Stockholm's doorstep with easy access to the Stockholm archipelago, where week one typically involves cruising through thousands of islands with protected anchorages and short hops between them. The relatively sheltered waters and moderate summer winds make this ideal for exploring granite skerries, rocky islets, and quiet bays within 20-30 nautical miles of the marina. This location works well for sailors wanting to combine city access with remote cruising, though northerly and easterly winds can funnel through the archipelago channels.

Can Alma be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alma 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 Alma?

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.
