SailChecker Expert View

Ideal For Families The Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits families and small groups wanting comfortable, modern sailing without breaking the bank. Four cabins and nine berths give everyone their own space, which matters when you're living aboard for a week.

Well-Equipped Cruiser This 2017 boat has genuinely useful features, bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free, solar panels mean less generator noise, and autopilot gives you breathing room on longer passages. The heating is a real plus if you're chartering outside peak summer, and the heating combined with solid build quality suggests KWS Adria maintains their fleet decently.

Strong Value Proposition At €2,296 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a four-cabin cruiser in the Mediterranean. You're getting a modern, well-equipped boat without the premium tag of newer flagships, which matters when you're flying long-haul to reach the charter base.

One Honest Note The listing doesn't specify which Adriatic base this operates from, whether that's Croatia, Montenegro, or elsewhere, so you'll need to confirm the exact location and flight routing before booking. Transit times from major European hubs vary significantly across the region.

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