What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits groups of 4, 6 people wanting serious comfort without sacrificing sailing performance. The four cabins and 10-berth capacity mean you're not cramped, and the well-equipped galley and air conditioning make longer charters genuinely enjoyable.
Smart, modern setup The standout features here are the bow thruster (priceless in tight anchorages), electric winches (less arm-wrestling), and solar panels paired with a holding tank, thoughtful kit for cruising Greek islands responsibly. The diving and snorkeling gear bundled in is a real bonus if that appeals to your group.
Honest value proposition At 13.7 metres, this is a mid-sized cruiser that punches above its weight for 2017, good electronics, hydraulic systems, and a teak cockpit that'll turn heads. The operator's 4.9 rating across 8 reviews is genuinely solid, and a €3,000 deposit is reasonable for a boat this spec.
One realistic note You'll be based in Greece (the operator runs from Ionian waters), so factor in a long-haul flight from the US, UK, or mainland Europe plus ground transfer, usually 2, 4 hours depending which island. Well worth it for the sailing, but plan your arrival day loosely.
