Borimir (Bavaria R40 FLY)

Perfect for couples or small families. The Bavaria R40 is a practical 12.5-metre motorboat that suits two couples or a family of up to five looking for relaxed cruising without the complexity of sailing. With two cabins and solid onboard amenities, it's manageable even for those new to boat handling.

Standout practical features. The bow thruster, air conditioning, and generator make this a comfortable vessel for warmer climates, while the included dinghy with outboard engine gives you genuine flexibility to explore anchorages and shallow bays. A chart plotter and heating round out a well-thought-out spec for extended cruising.

Solid value proposition. At this size and age, the Bavaria R40 delivers good bang for your charter pound, you're getting a fuel-efficient motorboat with proper comfort rather than paying premium rates for a newer or larger vessel. The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for the accommodation level.

One honest note: Motorboats rely entirely on fuel costs and engine reliability, so factor in running expenses carefully if you're planning extended daily cruising. Without a sailing option on calmer days, fuel becomes your main variable cost once you've committed to the charter.
