SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range cruiser. The Bavaria 45 is a well-proven platform that suits couples, small families, or groups of friends looking for a comfortable weeklong cruise without breaking the bank. At 13.6 metres with three cabins and room for eight, it balances livability with manageable sailing for mixed-ability crews.

Well-equipped package. You're getting the essentials covered—chart plotter, radar, bow thruster for tight anchorages, and a dinghy for exploring shallow bays. The snorkeling kit is a nice bonus, and the Bimini top matters more than people think when you're spending full days on deck in warm climates.

Reasonable value proposition. A 2011 Bavaria at this size represents solid charter value, especially if Storm Charters' daily rates sit in the mid-range for their region. The modest €2000 deposit is refreshingly low, which suggests the operator is confident in their maintenance and client relationships.

Check the base location. The charter base isn't listed here, so confirm where "Wave Dancer" floats before booking—your flight connections, transfer times, and whether the sailing grounds match what you actually want to do matter hugely on a long-haul trip. Also verify fuel and provisioning costs upfront; they vary significantly by location.

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