Bavaria C50 sailing yacht – LEFKAS

Yacht Overview

From our experience in Nikiana, this Bavaria C50 is one of the most practical sailboats for guests who want a comfortable charter without giving up proper sailing feel. We advise it especially for groups that value space aboard. Built in 2019, she carries 6 cabins and sleeps 10 people in cabins, plus 1 additional berth. That layout is exactly what we have noticed works well for families and friends: everyone gets privacy, yet the communal areas stay usable at sea.

Her overall length is 15.43 m with a beam of 5 m, giving her a stable, confident stance when the wind builds. For a charter in the Ionian waters around Nikiana, we think the deck setup matters, and here the self-tacking jib makes short-handed sailing straightforward. The roll main sail also helps keep sail handling efficient when conditions change.

Actually, we state with certainty that the helm arrangement is designed for control and ease. With autopilot support and a GPS plotter, navigation stays calm even during busy passages. A bimini top adds real shade comfort for long afternoons on anchor, and the bow thruster is a welcome aid when maneuvering in tighter spots along the coast.

On board for charter guests, air conditioning makes the difference in warm seasons, and the onboard generator supports day-to-day comfort. We also like that the galley is well equipped, so meal prep feels normal rather than improvised. The cockpit is finished with teak touches, and the bathing platform with swimming ladder is ready for quick dips. In short: a modern, purpose-built sailing platform for rental in Nikiana—comfortable, capable, and genuinely guest-friendly!
