About this yacht
Solar Panels, Bow-Thruster, Renewed Main Sails 2025
SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-size cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 45 is a well-established platform that suits families or small groups wanting comfortable bareboat sailing without excessive complexity. At 14.3 metres with four cabins sleeping eight, you've got genuine living space rather than bunks crammed together.

Practical highlights The bow thruster and autopilot take real pressure off docking and longer passages, while solar panels are genuinely useful for extending battery life between engine charges. You get a proper dinghy included, which matters if your charter base isn't bang in the sailing grounds, helpful for exploring anchorages without motoring everywhere.

Fair pricing proposition At €2,750 deposit, this boat sits in the realistic mid-range for a 45-footer. Sailfleet's 4.6-star rating across five reviews suggests consistent, reliable service, though the sample size is small enough that one bad experience could shift that number noticeably.

Age consideration Built in 2011, she's now 13 years old, not ancient for a well-maintained Bavaria, but not brand-new either. Factor in a pre-charter survey and confirm the engine hours and gel-coat condition directly with Sailfleet before booking; older boats reward due diligence.

The marina & destination

Based at Ece Marina, in Fethiye, Turkey. Sail Bravo is operated by Sailfleet.

Karagözler, Fevzi Cakmak Cd.

Why this is a great starting point

Ece Marina sits in Fethiye's well-protected bay on Turkey's southwest coast, making it ideal for week 1 exploration of the Lycian coast's pine-backed anchorages and island-hopping grounds. Light northwesterly winds typically allow you to reach the Red Island group, Oludeniz lagoon, and the Ekincik river delta within easy day-sail distances; the sheltered bays here offer good holding and few other boats early in the season. The marina itself provides reliable facilities and a straightforward departure point before venturing further east toward Gocek or west toward Dalyan.

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