The Bavaria C42 was perfect for our group of 7 — plenty of room and comfortable cabins. We took a skipper for the week and it was the best decision — relaxed, knowledgeable and great company. Communication before the trip was clear and the paperwork was ready when we arrived. A couple of cushions could do with replacing, but nothing that spoiled the trip. Overall very good value — we'd book again.
Tomasz S.· Poland· Sailed in August 2026Sample review (demo data)
Clean, well maintained and clearly cared for by the owner and base team. Our skipper let the kids help with the lines and took us to places we would never have found. We cruised to Portimão, Alvor and the Arade river and loved every stop. The bimini was faded and a little small for the midday sun. Recommended.
Petra V.· Czechia· Sailed in August 2026Sample review (demo data)
Great boat with a fantastic cockpit for long dinners at anchor. The base team in Lagos were friendly and gave us excellent tips on anchorages and restaurants. Highly recommended for families.
