Great all-rounder The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a solid choice for mixed-ability groups wanting comfort without complexity. With four cabins and sleeping space for nine, it's spacious enough for families or friends, and the 2015 build keeps things reliable while offering modern conveniences like electric toilets, solar panels, and a bow thruster for tight anchorages.

Standout features You're getting real cruising kit here: autopilot, chart plotter in the cockpit, snorkeling gear, and a generous teak cockpit with cushions and sprayhood that'll keep you comfortable in variable weather. The solar panels plus outboard engine mean you won't be constantly burning fuel, and the dinghy is included, that matters for exploring shallow bays and beach stops.

Strong value proposition At €2,720 per week with just a €500 deposit and a 5-star operator rating, this boat punches above its weight for the price. You're not paying for a newer hull or unnecessary frills, but you're getting a capable, well-equipped vessel from a trusted operator, exactly what transatlantic visitors need.

One honest note At 46 feet, this isn't a nimble yacht, so if your group includes nervous sailors or you're new to chartering, factor in extra time for getting comfortable with the boat before heading into challenging conditions.

The marina & destination

Based at Rhodes New Marina, in Rhodes, Greece. Alexaster is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Rhodes New Marina sits at the eastern edge of the Dodecanese islands, offering direct access to the Turkish coast and the protected waters of the nearby Symi and Tilos. Week 1 typically involves sailing north to island-hop through Symi, Nimos, and Alimia, or southwest toward Chalki and the Datça Peninsula; winds favour a mix of morning breezes and reliable afternoon northerlies. The marina itself is well-equipped with modern facilities and sits close enough to Rhodes Town for provisioning, making it a solid operational base for first-time visitors to Greek island sailing.

Can Alexaster be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alexaster 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 Alexaster?

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.
