What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Ideal for families This Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits multi-generational groups or two couples after a comfortable, well-equipped sailing experience without sacrificing space. The 4-cabin, 10-berth layout means everyone gets their own bunk, which matters on a week-long charter.
Practical standout features Solar panels, bow thruster, and an electric toilet are genuine convenience wins for longer cruises, less engine time, easier maneuvering, and modern comfort standards. The swimming platform with dinghy makes exploring anchorages straightforward, while autopilot handles longer passages so you can actually relax.
Strong value proposition At €3,360/week you're looking at roughly £285, 290 per person for a week if you fill those 10 berths, which is honest money for a 2016 boat with this spec and MG Yachts' perfect 5-star rating. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable too.
One realistic note The Bavaria 46 is a solid cruiser, but she's not a performance machine, expect comfortable passage-making rather than thrilling sailing. If you're flying long-haul from the US or further afield, confirm the base location and airport transfers with MG Yachts upfront, as that detail isn't listed here.
