AF-BC46 (Bavaria Cruiser 46)

Solid mid-range cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits families or small groups wanting comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. At 14.3 metres with four cabins sleeping eight, you get genuine space and sleeping flexibility, rare at this price point.

Smart practical features Bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier in tight anchorages and longer passages, while solar panels help keep generator costs down on week-long trips. The bimini and sprayhood are genuine comfort additions for charter yachts, protecting crew from sun and spray during those long sailing days.

Excellent value proposition At €3,077 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this Bavaria offers compelling bang-for-buck, especially if you're flying internationally and want maximum living space without premium pricing. Newer 2017 build means systems should be reliable.

One word of caution The operator rating sits at 4.3/5 with only three reviews, which is a thin sample size to judge consistency or service quality. Before committing your deposit, I'd recommend reaching out directly to AF Yachting about handover procedures, support during your charter, and what happens if something needs attention mid-week.
