About the Bavaria Cruiser 46
The Cruiser 46 is the boat that made Bavaria the default choice in Mediterranean charter fleets. Farr Yacht Design drew the hull, BMW Designworks had a hand in the deck and interior, it took European Yacht of the Year in 2015, and it has been in production since 2014 — which is why there are so many of them in Croatia and Greece.
Farr is a racing office, and it shows in a way that matters on a charter week: the boat has a proper sailing hull underneath the accommodation rather than a shape bent entirely around bed count. It is not a performance yacht, but it moves, holds an angle, and does not need a gale to get going.
Above deck the brief was volume. Headroom below is generous, the saloon is wide, and the four-cabin three-heads charter layout is one of the few at this length where a full crew does not spend the week queuing.
Who it suits
- Two families, or a large group of friends
- The four-cabin, three-heads layout is the reason this boat is everywhere in charter — it genuinely takes eight or nine people.
- Three-cabin versions exist and are far more comfortable for six.
- Crews who want space without a catamaran budget
- Interior volume and headroom that compete with boats costing considerably more to charter and to berth.
- Skippers who want a boat that sails
- The Farr hull means this is not simply a floating apartment. Trim it properly and it rewards you.
- Less suited to crews who want the newest systems
- The model has been built for a decade. Charter examples range from nearly new to well used, and the difference is in the equipment rather than the design.
Layout & life aboard
- Headroom and width
- The saloon is unusually open for the length, with standing headroom that taller crew notice immediately.
- Four cabins, three heads
- The charter layout avoids the usual problem of too many people sharing too few bathrooms.
- Worth confirming, because three-cabin two-head boats also carry this name.
- Twin wheels and a big cockpit
- A long cockpit table and seating for the whole crew, with the helms well aft and clear of the seating area.
- Straightforward below
- Nothing clever or fragile. Lockers, berths and the galley are where you expect them to be, which matters when nine people are living aboard.
Under sail
- Farr hull underneath
- The boat was drawn by a racing office and it behaves accordingly: it tracks, it holds an angle, and it accelerates rather than wallows.
- Upwind
- Good for a volume cruiser, especially with the deeper keel. It will sail to windward rather than motor there.
- Easy to depower
- Reefing and a furling headsail mean the boat is quickly made manageable when the afternoon breeze fills in.
- Under power
- Single engine and a saildrive, with a long hull. Prop walk is noticeable and useful once you know which way it goes.
Worth knowing before you book
- Confirm the cabin and heads count
- Three-cabin and four-cabin versions both exist under this name, and the difference decides the week for a group of eight.
- Ask the boat's age and sail condition
- A decade of production means a wide spread. Sails and canvas are where the age shows first.
- When were the sails last replaced is the one question worth insisting on.
- Keel draft
- Shallow and deep versions were both built; it decides which anchorages you can use.
- Learn the prop walk
- A 46-foot single-screw monohull backing into a tight berth needs a plan made before you start.

Frequently asked questions
For bareboat charter the skipper on board needs a recognised sailing license and, in most countries, a VHF certificate. If nobody in your group is licensed, book the yacht with a professional skipper.
Charter weeks normally run Saturday to Saturday, with check-in in the afternoon and check-out in the morning at the home base (Nikiana Marina).
Cross-border sailing is often possible with prior notice and additional paperwork. Ask us before booking so the operator can prepare the documents.
Fuel is normally paid on a tank-to-tank basis: you receive the yacht with a full tank and return it full.
