Bavaria Cruiser 55 sailing yacht – Athens

Yacht Overview

We can say with confidence that the Bavaria Cruiser 55 is a very appealing sailboat for charter in Athens, Greece, especially for guests who want a comfortable and practical holiday on the water. Built in 2010, this 16.76 m model offers a well-balanced layout with 5 cabins and 10 berths in cabins, which makes her a strong choice for families or groups of friends sailing together. At 4.88 m in beam, she feels generous inside and provides good stability underway, something we have noticed is highly appreciated on longer island itineraries.

From our experience, this yacht works particularly well for cruising the Saronic Gulf and beyond, because she combines easy handling with enough space for relaxed days at sea. The autopilot is a real advantage on extended passages, and the bow thruster helps a lot when manoeuvring in busy marinas. We also like the practical sailing setup: roll genoa and roll main sail make sail handling straightforward, even for crews that prefer a more relaxed approach. Actually, this is one of the reasons why many of our guests choose this model for their holidays in Greece.

Onboard comfort is supported by 3 toilets, linen included, and thoughtful details such as a sprayhood and solar panel. We observed that these features make a noticeable difference during warm Mediterranean days, especially when anchoring for a swim or spending a night at a quiet bay. The Bavaria Cruiser 55 is not about unnecessary extras; it is about reliable comfort, solid sailing performance, and a layout that suits real-life use. According to us, this is exactly what makes her such a popular option for charter in Athens.

If you are looking for a spacious sailboat with a proven model line, practical equipment, and a very good base for exploring the Greek islands, we recommend this yacht without hesitation.
