Bow thruster, Inverter, Soler panels, Electric fans, Outdor speakers , Sails 2024

Solid family cruiser. The Bavaria Cruiser 51 is a proven design that suits groups of up to 10 and handles mixed abilities well, it's forgiving to sail and plenty spacious below deck for longer trips. The five cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, which matters on week-long charters.

Smart practical kit. Solar panels and an inverter are genuinely useful for extended cruising, and the bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages. The swim platform is a real bonus for Mediterranean or warmer destinations, though you'll want to confirm the exact base location since that isn't listed here.

Excellent value proposition. At €2,880 per week for a 51-footer with this layout, you're looking at strong pricing, especially if you're splitting costs across a larger group. The deposit is reasonable at €3,500, and MG Yachts' perfect rating is encouraging, though it's based on just two reviews.

One practical note: The 2015 build is solid, but do ask the operator about recent service records and battery condition, since solar setups and inverters benefit from regular maintenance. Also confirm what's included in the base price, insurance, final cleaning, and fuel costs can shift the total substantially.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia, in Gouvia, Greece. Gin Tonic is operated by MG Yachts.

Tzavros

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Gouvia sits on Corfu's east coast with easy access to the Ionian Islands; week 1 typically takes you south toward Lefkada and Kefalonia, with consistent northerly winds (Etesians) pushing you downwind through protected anchorages and narrow channels. The marina's sheltered location and full facilities make it ideal for crews adjusting to Greek sailing, and you can reach Paxos, Antipaxos, or the Patrasso approaches within 2-3 days of departure. The relatively short passages and abundance of small island anchorages suit mixed-ability crews, though northerly wind patterns mean most first-week itineraries favour southbound sailing.

Can Gin Tonic be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gin Tonic 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 Gin Tonic?

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.
