Bavaria Cruiser 46 sailing yacht – Split

Yacht Overview

We’ve guided many guests through the Adriatic, and we can say with confidence that the Bavaria Cruiser 46 is one of those sailboats that feels immediately “right” for a premium holiday. Based in Split, Croatia, this 2017-built cruiser is a refined choice for charter and rental stays where comfort matters as much as the horizon.

With four cabins and room for eight guests in beds, plus one additional berth, it’s ideally suited for families and small groups who want privacy without sacrificing together-time onboard. The layout is practical, and from our experience, that translates into smoother days at sea—less fuss, more sailing.

At 14.27 meters long and 4.35 meters wide, she carries herself with calm confidence. We’ve noticed that her cockpit setup encourages real living outside: a welcoming table for relaxed meals, shade from the bimini top when the sun turns insistent, and easy handling under sail. For day-to-day navigation, the onboard electronics bring clarity—especially the GPS chart plotter at the helm and the VHF radio for peace of mind.

What truly elevates the experience is the combination of modern sailing control and everyday conveniences. Autopilot and a bow thruster help with the “tight-manoeuvre” moments in busy harbors. Hot water, a refrigerator, an oven, and a stove make provisioning feel effortless. There’s even Wi‑Fi for those rare moments when you want to stay connected.

And yes, our guests love the bathing platform—an instant invitation for a swim after a perfect anchorage. The tender adds flexibility too, so you can explore beyond the mooring with ease. !
