SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a solid mid-range cruiser that suits families or friends seeking a relaxed, sociable week afloat — four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the open layout encourages time together.

Practical cruising setup. You get the essentials: a modern chart plotter for confident navigation, swimming platform for cooling off, sprayhood for weather protection, and a radio-CD player for entertainment — nothing flashy, but everything you actually need to enjoy the water.

Fair value proposition. At this size and age (2014), pricing sits in the reasonable mid-market band; the yacht offers genuine comfort without the premium tag of newer builds, making it good value if the weekly rate fits your budget.

One heads-up: The base location isn't specified in your listing, so I'd recommend confirming where "Lucy Ball" is stationed — that'll affect your airport transfer time and whether English-speaking support is readily available, both important if you're coordinating an international group charter.

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