Bavaria Cruiser 46 sailing yacht – Zadar

Yacht Overview

When our guests ask us for a sailing holiday that feels both relaxed and well thought out, we often point them toward the Bavaria Cruiser 46 in Zadar. From our experience, this model hits a very appealing balance: it is spacious enough for family groups or friends, yet still easy to handle for sailors who value comfort under sail. Built in 2017 and fitted with sails from 2022, she presents herself as a modern and carefully maintained sailing yacht for charter in Croatia.

We like this boat especially for the way it combines practical layout with pleasant living space. At 14.33 metres in length and 4.27 metres in width, she offers a stable platform and a generous interior. There are 4 cabins and 3 toilets, with berths for 8 guests plus 1 additional berth, so we can say with confidence that she suits both larger crews and mixed groups planning a week on the Adriatic. Actually, this is one of the reasons she remains so popular in Zadar: she gives everyone enough room without losing that authentic sailing feeling.

The equipment list is well chosen for comfortable coastal cruising. Autopilot helps on longer passages, the bow thruster makes harbour manoeuvres easier, and heating is a welcome detail in the shoulder season. We also appreciate the roll genoa and roll main sail, which support smooth handling, while the solar panel adds a useful touch of independence at anchor. These are not flashy extras; they are the kind of features our guests truly notice during the holiday.

Based on our knowledge, Zadar is a particularly rewarding starting point for this Bavaria Cruiser 46. The Kornati area, nearby islands and sheltered bays create ideal conditions for a memorable route. We have seen many guests enjoy this combination of a capable sailing yacht and a destination that always delivers something special. If you are looking for a charter in Croatia with comfort, space and reliable sailing qualities, this is a model we are happy to recommend.
