SailChecker Expert View

Who It Suits This Bavaria Cruiser 51 is ideal for larger family groups or friends wanting to sail together without splitting across multiple boats—you've got genuine sleeping for 12 across 5 cabins, which is genuinely useful for multi-generational trips or two couples plus kids. She's equally at home for experienced sailors who want comfort without fussiness.

The Real Standouts A 2018 build means decent systems and modern comfort; the air conditioning, generator, and full galley setup (refrigerator included) mean you're not roughing it. Autopilot and bow thruster take the stress out of tight anchorages and docking, while the bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray—practical touches that matter on longer passages.

Value Assessment At roughly €3,658 per week plus a €3,600 deposit, this is competitive mid-range pricing for a 51-footer with this spec and relatively recent build year. You're paying for space and comfort rather than luxury, which is fair value if your priority is accommodating a group rather than wow-factor interiors.

One Thing to Note Without a confirmed base location in the data, we can't advise on airport logistics or regional sailing conditions—do check with SailWays on exactly where she's moored and how long transfers from your international airport typically take, as that affects your first day on water.

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