The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): grill (barbecue) , bathing platform, bimini top, autopilot, inverter, GPS chart plotter, freezer, GPS chart plotter - cockpit, dinghy, swimming ladder, electric anchor windlass, cockpit table and it’s obligatory extras: service pack. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Bavaria C42
3 cabins for 6 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 12,4 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Bavaria C42 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 3 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Zadar’s island channels and the Kornati from Zadar
Zadar is worth a first evening ashore for the Roman Forum, the Sea Organ that sighs with the swell, and the mirrored Greeting to the Sun. On the water the choice is between the close island chain and the more exposed Kornati farther out. Zadar Airport (ZAD) is a 15–25-minute road transfer; if the handover then finishes with daylight to spare, there is time for a first afternoon across to Preko on Ugljan or Veli Iž, otherwise a first night in Zadar. Split (SPU) works too if the flight connections are more convenient. The close channels offer sheltered day sailing for much of a week. The Kornati National Park requires a ticket, and anchoring is restricted to marked bays. The run out to the Kornati is best saved for a light-wind day, so keep the final day in the near channels. Going farther into the outer Kornati and toward the Telašćica cliffs means longer, more exposed legs, better suited to more time than a week.
