The boat

Bavaria 46 Cruiser, 2005 Mod

cabins: 4
toilets: 2

length: 14,40m
year: 2005

The boat is a Bavaria 46 Cruiser from 2005. It oozes German quality, is safe, stable, and with a draft that allows you to get into most ports.
It has all the comfort you need, and a little more. There are 4 spacious cabins, two bathrooms, and plenty of room for 6 - 8 people.
The boat has roll genoa and roll main sail which makes it easy to adjust sailing depending on conditions. It is not a "racing" boat, but made more for comfort. At the same time, it sails well enough so you will not be last boat in port.
It has all the required safety equipment (new spring 2020). EPIRB, AIS SART, liferafts, automatic fire extingusher in engine room, lifewests etc etc.
There is TV onboard (not much used, but available), HIFI (with bluetooth for Spotify / radio). Smal but nice gally with refirigerting box.

Reviews of Steinar

1 review
10 / 10

Steinar is a wonderful person, caring, friendly and great connoisseur of the sea and sailing, always in total safety. He worked hard to make this holiday unforgettable, from the choice of the itinerary, to the activities to be carried out on land, to the food, up to the various technical teachings of sailing and boating. It wasn't your classic holiday, but I'd call it more of a fantastic experience than you'll hardly forget.

Other important information

We are in Norway and will cross the North Sea. So we will need a day or two flexibility related to departure and arrival. But you can stay onboard and explore the soroundings for no extra charge.

Hiking boot are OK for some adventures ashore, but some kind of proper shoes onbord is required. Bring a sleeping bad, or you can rent linen onboard if required.

It will be shared cabins, so maybe bring a friend with you ?
