SailChecker note

10 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.

Ideal for families This Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits couples and small families who want comfortable cruising without sacrificing practicality. The four cabins sleep nine, so you've got space for kids or another couple, and the teak cockpit with cushions makes it genuinely pleasant to spend time on deck.

Well-equipped vessel What stands out here is the thoughtful spec: solar panels, electric toilet, bow thruster, and a sprayhood mean you're not roughing it, and the autopilot takes pressure off longer passages. The included dinghy, snorkeling kit, and outboard engine open up exploration without surprise add-ons, that's honest value building.

Strong value proposition At €2,720/week for a four-cabin 2016 Bavaria in good nick, this is competitive pricing, especially with a five-star operator and minimal deposit. For North European bases (often where these boats sit), that's a sensible charter cost for a capable family cruiser.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters for transatlantic flyers planning connections, I'd confirm airport proximity and transfer time with ARCHON directly before booking, since that's often the hidden friction for international charterers.
