SailChecker Expert View
Great family option The Bavaria Cruiser 51 is a solid, modern cruiser that suits families and small groups looking for comfortable bareboat sailing in a spacious layout. With 5 cabins and 12 berths, you've got room to spread out , no cramped quarters on this one.
Smart practical kit She's well-equipped for independent cruising with autopilot, chart plotter, bow thruster, and a swimming platform that'll be a real hit on warm-water charters. The bimini will keep the sun at bay during longer days on the water, and the dinghy lets you explore anchorages properly.
Solid value proposition At 15 metres with five cabins, this represents decent value for groups splitting costs , you're getting genuine cruising comfort without paying superyacht rates. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests the weekly hire price sits in the accessible mid-range for this class.
One honest note We'd need to know the charter base location to advise on flight connections and logistics from your side of the Atlantic , that matters a lot when you're flying long-haul. Once you've got that detail sorted, this is a trustworthy, unsexy workhorse that delivers exactly what it promises.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina di Portisco, in Portisco, Italy. Astra is operated by Cruising Charter.
Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100
Marina di Portisco sits on Sardinia's northeast coast and provides excellent access to the Maddalena archipelago, reachable in 15-20 nautical miles on a typical northwesterly breeze. Week 1 charters work well as sheltered day hops between granite-studded islands with good holding in sandy bays, or longer passages south to the Costa Smeralda if conditions favour. The marina itself offers full facilities and lies close enough to Porto Cervo for provisioning, making it a practical base for both relaxed cruising and more ambitious sailing.
