What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for larger groups This Bavaria Cruiser 51 suits families or friend groups of 8, 11 people who want a comfortable, well-equipped sailing vessel without sacrificing modern conveniences. Five cabins with 11 berths give everyone reasonable personal space, which matters on week-long charters.
Smart comfort features The air conditioning, bow thruster, and autopilot are genuine time-savers, especially if your crew includes less experienced sailors or anyone sensitive to heat. Wi-Fi, cockpit speakers, and a full galley setup mean you're not roughing it, ideal if you're chartering after a long flight to reach the base.
Solid value proposition A 2018 Bavaria Cruiser 51 with this kit, bimini, sprayhood, dinghy included, represents fair pricing for the size and capability. The modest €2500 deposit is reasonable, and Orvas Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (though based on just 2 reviews) suggests reliable service.
One realistic note With 11 potential berths, some cabins will be cosy rather than spacious, so confirm exact cabin layouts and sleeping arrangements before committing. Also verify Wi-Fi reliability at your intended anchorages, it's listed but can be patchy in remote sailing areas.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
