Bavaria Cruiser 45 sailing yacht – Sukošan

Yacht Overview

We’ve guided many sailing couples and family crews, and we can say with confidence that the Bavaria Cruiser 45 is a sweet spot for a week of carefree Adriatic cruising. This sailboat, built in 2012, brings that reliable “charter-friendly” feel right from the first handover. Based in Sukošan, Croatia, it’s an easy starting point for exploring coves, lively ports, and those picture-perfect stretches of coastline that always look better from the water!

Our guests who have booked with us so far especially like the balance of space and comfort. With four cabins on board, the layout is ideal for groups up to 10 berths in cabins, so everyone settles in without feeling cramped. The boat measures 14.33 m in length with a 4.27 m beam, giving it a stable, confident presence at anchor and under sail.

For day-to-day sailing, we’ve noticed that the practical details make the difference. Autopilot helps you stay relaxed during longer passages, while the bow thruster adds extra control when maneuvering in tighter marinas. When the sun gets loud, the bimini top and sprayhood bring welcome shade and protection—perfect for breakfast on deck and late-afternoon swims. There’s also a refrigerator for keeping provisions fresh, and cockpit speakers for setting the mood as the coastline slides by.

We also recommend this boat for captains who enjoy efficient handling: roll genoa and a roll main sail simplify sail management, especially when the breeze shifts. And yes, the swimming platform makes water time effortless! For smaller excursions, a tender is available as part of the vessel services. If you’re looking for a charter sailboat that feels well-prepared, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable—this one fits the bill.
