SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This Bavaria 56 is genuinely excellent for larger parties or families wanting to sail together — 12 berths across 6 cabins means no one's cramped, and the spacious layout is ideal for multi-generational trips. It's a solid, well-maintained cruiser that handles the classic Mediterranean or Caribbean routes with ease.

Well-equipped and comfortable You're getting the essentials plus nice-to-haves: air conditioning (crucial for summer charters), autopilot, bow thruster, and a generator mean you'll sail with real comfort rather than roughing it. The bimini cover and cockpit speakers suggest thoughtful outfitting for actual relaxation.

Fair value proposition At 16.8m with six cabins, the pricing sits where you'd expect — not a bargain, but reasonable for a 2014 Bavaria with this level of kit and berth count. The €3,500 deposit is standard, and MG Yachts' perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just 2 reviews) suggests reliable service.

Size caveat worth noting A 56-footer demands confident helmsmanship or a professional skipper for a stress-free week — it's not a beginner's boat. If your group lacks sailing experience, factor in skipper hire costs, which will add meaningfully to your charter price.

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