SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Bavaria Cruiser 51 is ideal if you're bringing friends or family—10 berths across 5 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. At 15 metres, it's substantial enough to handle varied sea conditions while remaining manageable for competent sailors.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster (brilliant for tight anchorages), autopilot, chart plotter, and a sprayhood that actually keeps spray off during passage-making. The bimini and cockpit speakers suggest previous owners knew how to make cruising comfortable, and the 2019 build year means systems should be reliable without feeling brand-new-fragile.

Solid value proposition At roughly €6,571 per week, you're paying mid-range rates for a boat this size with this inventory—nothing screams bargain, but nothing feels overpriced either. With zero deposit required, it's straightforward to book, which helps when you're coordinating with international crew flying in.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, so you'll need to confirm where Y Knot Yachting operates before committing. Once you know the departure port, factor in airport transfers and whether the base has reliable English-speaking support—crucial when coordinating a larger group crossing time zones.

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