Marlin (Bavaria Cruiser 46 Style)

Ideal for groups This Bavaria 46 is perfect if you're bringing family or friends, four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the teak cockpit with cushions makes socializing easy. It's a proper cruising boat built for relaxed sailing rather than racing thrills.

Well-equipped vessel The 2016 Bavaria comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels and inverter for off-grid flexibility, autopilot for long passages, and snorkeling gear ready to go. The chart plotter and heating mean you're set for navigation and cooler months.

Strong value proposition At a €2,500 deposit with Fethiye Sailing, you're looking at solid value for a mid-sized cruiser in one of Europe's best sailing regions, the Turkish Riviera and Greek islands are minutes away. Four cabins at this price point typically represent good bang-for-buck for international charterers flying in.

One practical note Fethiye is a straightforward 4, 5 hour drive from Dalaman Airport, and English-speaking support is standard at most Turkish bases, so logistics are manageable. Just confirm cabin layouts match your group's needs, older Bavarias sometimes have narrower aft cabins worth checking before you book.
