Perfect family boat. The Bavaria Cruiser 50 is a solid choice for groups wanting comfortable cruising without breaking the bank, five cabins sleep up to 12, which spreads costs nicely among friends or multi-generational families. The teak deck and swimming platform add genuine appeal for leisurely sailing holidays.

Well-equipped classic. For a 2011 build, "Leonis" ticks the boxes: chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward, sprayhood gives weather protection for day sailing, and that radio-CD player suggests she's been maintained as a pleasure boat rather than a workhorse. The swimming platform is genuinely useful in warm-water destinations.

Solid value proposition. At 50 feet with five cabins, you're getting decent volume-per-euro compared to newer builds, and a €3,000 deposit is reasonable, that typically signals transparent, fair terms from IRIS. You'll find the Bavaria Cruiser range holds its appeal across Mediterranean and Atlantic charter bases.

One practical note. She's 13 years old, so inspect mechanicals and standing rigging carefully during your handover, and confirm that chart plotter's been recently updated with current charts, older systems can be surprisingly out of date.

Can Leonis be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Leonis 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 Leonis?

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.
