Perfect for families This Bavaria Cruiser 50 suits groups and families wanting comfortable, straightforward sailing without fuss. With five cabins and 12 berths, it's roomy enough for extended crews or multi-family trips, and the 2014 build means decent reliability without premium pricing.

Well-equipped basics You get the essentials here: chart plotter for navigation, sprayhood for comfort in rougher conditions, and a swimming platform, genuinely useful on charter boats. The radio-CD player is a nice touch for downtime, though nothing flashy overall.

Solid value proposition At this size and age, the Bavaria Cruiser 50 sits in the sweet spot for value. You're not paying modern-boat premiums, and the low €3,000 deposit makes financial sense for a bareboat charter of this capacity.

One honest note Without knowing the base location or current rates, I can't comment fully on value, but do check what's *not* included, fuel, provisioning, and end-cleaning charges can add up significantly on 12-berth boats. Ask IRIS upfront about the real all-in cost before you commit.

The marina & destination

Based at Club Nàutic S`Arenal, in El Arenal, Spain. Silver Cloud is operated by IRIS Yachtcharter.

Why this is a great starting point

Club Nàutic S'Arenal sits on Mallorca's east coast and offers straightforward access to the Balearic cruising grounds. Week one typically involves sailing south to Cabrera National Park (a full day's reach) or north along the sheltered east coast towards Cala Millor and beyond, with moderate easterly winds dominating summer months. The shallow, protected waters nearby suit lighter air conditions, though you'll need to plan passages carefully if heading further afield to Menorca or Ibiza.

Can Silver Cloud be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Silver Cloud 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 Silver Cloud?

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.
