BAVARIA CRUISER 46 — Greece A sailing yacht that asks very little of you beyond showing up. The Bavaria Cruiser 46 was drawn around easy cruising, and it shows most clearly aft: the wide bathing platform sits close to the water and does the work of a second deck — swimming, sunbathing, a long lunch with feet dangling, or simply doing nothing at all with the Aegean at arm's length. Below, four cabins accommodate up to ten guests, with the detailed bed configuration available on request. It is a layout that suits a family group or a set of friends sharing the season rather than a single couple rattling around a large hull. Greece is the natural ground for this kind of yacht. Short passages between islands, anchorages you reach in an afternoon, tavernas within tender distance — the cruising is unhurried by design, and the Cruiser 46 is sized to slip into the smaller harbours that larger yachts have to admire from outside. Itineraries are shaped around the group aboard, with the crew handling the sailing, the anchoring and the daily rhythm of life on board.
