SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This Bavaria Cruiser 46 is a solid choice for four couples or a small family wanting comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. With four cabins, proper berths for eight, and a 5-star operator rating, it ticks the box for hassle-free bareboat or skippered charter.

Well-equipped vessel Volante comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier, solar panels and inverter reduce fuel costs, and the teak cockpit with sprayhood means you'll stay comfortable in less-than-perfect weather. A 2016 Bavaria Cruiser is a proven workhorse—reliable and forgiving for mixed-ability crews.

Exceptional value At €2,660 per week, you're looking at roughly €333 per person for eight, which is very competitive for a four-cabin yacht of this size and specification. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and the operator's 5-star rating suggests fair terms and well-maintained boats.

One honest note With only one review on record, we can't yet verify the operator's consistency or how Volante specifically performs long-term. Before committing, I'd recommend checking directly with Sailing Planet about their maintenance schedule, cancellation policy, and typical client feedback—always sensible with newer charter operators.

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