SailChecker note

11 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.

Perfect for groups The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is an excellent choice if you're travelling with family or friends, four cabins sleep up to 10, making it genuinely affordable per person when costs are split. The 2015 build means the boat is well-maintained without being brand-new pricing.

Solid sailing setup You get the essentials for comfortable cruising: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and the bimini keeps you shaded on deck. The swimming platform and dinghy mean you can explore shallow anchorages and get ashore easily.

Good value proposition At this size and age, the Bavaria Cruiser 46 offers sensible bang for your buck, it's a proven, popular design with no temperamental systems. A €4,000 deposit is reasonable for a 10-berth boat, suggesting fair day rates overall.

One practical note The base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm where you're collecting the boat and how straightforward the airport transfer is from your departure point, that matters more than the yacht specs when you're flying long-haul to charter.
