What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Solid mid-range cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a well-established platform that suits families and small groups of 6, 8 sailors looking for comfortable coastal cruising without breaking the bank. At 13.6 metres, she's manageable for mixed-ability crews yet spacious enough that people don't feel cramped over a week.
Smart practical kit You're getting the essentials here: bow thruster (great for tight anchorages), autopilot, chart plotter, and a swimming platform, all the conveniences that make bareboat chartering less stressful. The four cabins and refrigerator mean proper provisioning and sleeping arrangements for a proper holiday, not a squeeze.
Decent value proposition A 2017 Bavaria at this size represents honest value if you're chartering from Mediterranean or Northern European bases. The €4,000 deposit is standard and reasonable, signalling a well-maintained boat from a professional operator (Cruising Charter runs solid fleets).
One honest note The listing omits the charter base location, which matters, fuel costs, mooring fees, and how far you need to fly to reach the boat vary wildly across regions. Before committing, confirm where "Fenice" is based and factor in your airport connection time from your home country.
