Perfect for families The Bavaria Cruiser 46 "Spectra" is an excellent choice for multi-generational family charters or small groups. Four cabins and nine berths give everyone their own sleeping space without feeling cramped, which is rare at this length and price point.

Smart cruising setup She's equipped with genuinely useful features: solar panels extend your independence at anchor, the bow thruster makes tight mooring spots stress-free, and dual chart plotters plus autopilot mean even less experienced sailors can feel confident. The teak cockpit and bimini add comfort for those longer days on the water.

Excellent value proposition At €2,378 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this Bavaria offers honest bang-for-buck pricing. The 5-star rating from ADVENTURE CHARTER (though based on just two reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained gear, always reassuring for international guests flying in.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I'd confirm airport transfer times before booking; if you're flying long-haul from the US or beyond Europe, knowing whether you're looking at a 30-minute or 3-hour drive from the nearest major hub matters for your overall trip planning.

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable information about a marina called Marina Drage in Croatia. While there are several marinas in Croatia, I cannot confirm the specific location, facilities, or nearby cruising grounds for this particular marina without risking inaccuracy. I'd recommend checking the marina's official website or providing me with additional details (region, nearby towns, or alternative names) so I can write an accurate summary for your clients.

Can Spectra be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Spectra 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 Spectra?

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.
