What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This 2022 Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits families or small groups after a comfortable, modern sailing experience without too much fuss. Four cabins sleep up to nine, which works well if you're mixing couples and kids or want a bit of extra space.
Well-equipped cruiser You're getting a relatively new boat with genuinely useful kit, air con, bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels, and a generator mean you won't be roughing it. The cockpit chart plotter takes the guesswork out of navigation, which matters when you're chartering in unfamiliar waters.
Solid value proposition At this size and age with four cabins, the €2,500 deposit suggests competitive weekly rates through LG Yachting. You're paying for comfort and reliability rather than luxury, which is honest positioning for a modern production cruiser.
One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so check with LG Yachting where "Sail la Vie" is berthed, that'll determine your flight connections and whether transfers are straightforward from your nearest international hub.
