SailChecker Expert View

Perfect family choice The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is an excellent mid-size cruiser that suits families and small groups wanting comfort without complexity. With four cabins sleeping up to 10, it gives everyone reasonable privacy while keeping costs reasonable compared to larger vessels.

Smart practical features You're getting a well-equipped 2019 model with a bow thruster (makes tight anchorages effortless), autopilot for longer passages, and a swimming platform—ideal if you're chartering somewhere warm. The bimini shade and dinghy round out a sensible package for real cruising rather than racing.

Fair value proposition At this size and age, the €4,000 deposit is standard, and the equipment list shows Cruising Charter hasn't skimped on essentials like navigation gear and safety kit. You're looking at a well-maintained boat that won't surprise you with hidden costs or missing basics.

One real consideration Without knowing the base location, charter rates, or availability window, it's hard to judge absolute value—but note that 10 berths in four cabins means at least one cabin will be tight for couples. If you're booking from abroad and flying in, confirm the base location first and factor in airport transfer time; most charter operators in Europe are 45 minutes to two hours from major hubs.

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