SailChecker Expert View

Solid family cruiser. The Bavaria Cruiser 45 is a proven platform for relaxed sailing with good living space—four cabins sleep nine, so it works well for families or two couples who don't mind sharing berths. The 2011 build means she's well-tested, and the spec list shows genuine cruising comfort (solar panels, bow thruster, electric toilet, proper galley refrigeration).

Standout practical kit. Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll run the essentials without hammering the engine, while the bow thruster takes real stress out of tight anchorages and marina entries—especially useful if you're not sailing regularly. The swimming platform with bimini is a genuine bonus for hot-weather cruising.

Value-for-money question. With only two operator reviews on file, it's hard to judge pricing confidence. MG Yachts has a perfect 5/5 rating, which is encouraging, but do get a detailed charter contract and confirm what's included beyond the basics—fuel, skipper fees, end-of-week turnover costs all vary widely.

One real caveat. A 2011 boat is 13 years old; confirm the condition of seals, standing rigging, and engine service history before committing, especially if you're flying internationally to meet her. Request recent survey details or photos of any recent work.

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