SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2015 Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a solid mid-size cruising yacht that suits families or small groups looking for comfortable sailing without complexity. The four cabins and 10 berths give you plenty of sleeping space, making it great value if you're chartering with extended family or friends.

Well-equipped vessel Pimpinella comes with genuinely useful features: solar panels mean less fuel burn, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages easier, electric winches reduce physical effort on deck, and the sprayhood plus bimini keep you protected from sun and spray. These aren't luxury extras—they're practical additions that improve everyday comfort while cruising.

Keen pricing, solid operator The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and South Sea Sail's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from limited reviews) is encouraging. The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a reliable, workhorse design, so you're unlikely to face surprises once you're out on the water.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your details, so check your arrival airport's transfer time to the marina before booking—some Pacific bases can mean a few hours' drive from international airports, which matters when you're flying long-haul from Europe or the US.

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