About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Bavaria 45
The Bavaria 45 Cruiser combines proven sailing performance with practical comfort for independent charterers. Its modern hull delivers responsive handling across varied Adriatic conditions, while the broad cockpit and expansive deck layout provide genuine living space underway. Four double cabins plus salon berths sleep up to ten, making this a social choice for small groups or extended families.
The focal point is the full-width bathing platform at the stern, inviting swimmers and sunbathers whilst anchored in remote bays. Twin rudders enhance manoeuvrability in tight anchorages, and the self-tacking jib option simplifies solo sailing if preferred. Sail plan options include a gennaker for downwind passages, though the standard furling genoa and main suit most bareboat skippers' comfort levels.

The Charter Experience
Bareboat sailing in Croatia rewards those seeking genuine autonomy along the Adriatic coast. Sheltered anchorages between the Dalmatian islands, consistent summer thermals, and established provision ports make this an ideal territory for self-steering voyages. The Bavaria's responsive character shines in the moderate swells typical of July and August, whilst spring and autumn offer calmer waters for cautious operators. Ancient stone villages, crystalline swimming grounds, and minimal commercial traffic define these cruising grounds.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week combines the sheltered Pakleni Islands off Hvar with passages to Vis and Korcula, utilising thermal winds for morning sails and afternoon anchorages in named bays. Provision stops at Hvar Town and Korcula Old Town break the voyage rhythm, whilst lesser-known coves around Lopud reward early anchorers seeking solitude.
