What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Bavaria 46 suits groups of 4, 5 people or small families after a comfortable, well-equipped cruising experience. Four cabins and nine berths give flexibility, though you'll want experienced sailors or to hire a skipper for the 13.9m hull.
Solid cruising kit Air conditioning, a generator, and teak cockpit make this boat genuinely liveable on longer charters. The bow thruster, autopilot, and sprayhood are practical touches that reduce fatigue, especially valuable if you're crossing time zones and adjusting to Mediterranean sailing.
Strong value proposition At €3,040 per week with a five-star operator and a modest €2,500 deposit, you're getting a well-maintained 2019 Bavarian cruiser at a reasonable rate. The included extras (dinghy, inverter, bimini) mean fewer surprises.
One fair note: The operator has only one review on record, so while the five-star rating is encouraging, you won't find a deep community feedback trail yet. Worth reaching out directly to George Vlamis to ask questions and confirm recent client references before booking.
