The overall length of the boat is 46 ft / 14,0 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): GPS chart plotter and it’s obligatory extras: bedlinen and towels, gas consumption, final cleaning. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 16:00 h and check-out until 08:00 h.
Why charter this Bavaria 44
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 14 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Bavaria 44 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Sailing the Strait from Gibraltar
Gibraltar sits at the mouth of the Mediterranean under its great Rock, where strong tidal streams through the Strait and heavy shipping shape every leg, so the tide, not the mileage, is what you plan around. The marinas at Sotogrande and La Línea, or an anchorage in the Bay of Algeciras, make the usual first night; time the departure to a fair tide out. Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is a 10–20-minute road transfer, with Málaga (AGP) further along the coast. The Bay of Algeciras, the Strait shore and the Costa del Sol marinas lie a short hop apart, an easy week, though you watch the streams on every crossing. A run over to Morocco or out into the Atlantic is a bigger thing, needing border formalities, settled conditions and a carefully judged return. Tangier and the Atlantic coast of Morocco are a longer offshore reach, beyond a single week.
