Laura (Bavaria Cruiser 45)

Perfect for couples and small groups This 2013 Bavaria Cruiser 45 suits two couples or a family of four very well, with four separate cabins and sensible layout for shared charters. If you're looking to split costs with friends, the eight-berth capacity also works for slightly larger groups who don't mind closer quarters.

Well-equipped cruiser Laura ticks the practical boxes: bow thruster makes single-handed anchoring easier, solar panels reduce generator run-time (and noise), and the sprayhood keeps spray off the deck in choppy conditions. The chart plotter in the cockpit is standard these days, but it's good to confirm it's modern and up-to-date before you book.

Strong value proposition At €2,980 per week from DUDYACHTING, this represents solid mid-range pricing for a well-maintained 13.6-metre yacht in this class. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and the included dinghy saves you a rental fee that could add €200+ to your week.

One practical note We don't have the base location listed here, which matters a lot for your flight connections and how far you'll travel from an international airport. Before committing, confirm where DUDYACHTING operates Laura and how long the transfer is from your nearest hub airport, that can easily add half a day to your arrival.
