Ideal for families The Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits groups of up to 9 people who want comfortable cruising without sacrificing space—four cabins mean everyone gets their own bunk rather than squeezing into tight quarters. It's a solid choice for first-time charterers or mixed-ability groups who value ease of handling over performance sailing.

Well-equipped cruiser This 2018 Bavaria ticks all the practical boxes: bow thruster and autopilot make single-handed manoeuvring straightforward, while the swimming platform and dinghy open up anchorages beyond the marina. Wi-Fi, entertainment systems, and good refrigeration suggest comfortable living aboard rather than roughing it.

Reasonable value proposition At 14.3 metres with four cabins, the Bavaria Cruiser 46 sits in an accessible mid-range that balances comfort and cost—you're paying for a proven, manageable design rather than boutique exclusivity. The €2,000 deposit is modest, though you'll want to clarify what's included in the weekly charter rate.

Limited track record caveat Orvas Yachting's 5-star rating is promising, but it's based on just two reviews, so you're taking a small leap of faith with the operator. Before booking, ask directly about their base location (it's not listed here), turnaround procedures, and whether they offer English-speaking support for international guests flying in.

The marina & destination

Based at ACI Marina Split, in Split, Croatia. ADRIA SONJA is operated by Orvas Yachting.

Uvala Baluni 8

Can ADRIA SONJA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ADRIA SONJA 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 ADRIA SONJA?

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.
