For some, a charter is a favorite pastime as a vacation, for someone - as a favorite job. We have compiled the “Top 4” of popular sailing yachts and charter boats. Review from Interparus!
Bavaria C45People going on monohull vacations in Europe and parts of the Caribbean are likely to encounter the latest generation of Bavaria yachts. As you might guess, these sailing yachts are built in Germany, and the creation of the concept and design documents lies with the Italian company Cossutti Yacht design in Italy.

In the c45 cockpit, in front of the helmsmen, there are benches on either side, each with its own table. This arrangement provides easy access to the gangway and the cabin below.
According to the classics, there is a large folding bathing platform on the transom. Among other things, you can store an ace in the same place. The transom also houses a sink and grill for outdoor cooking.

The C45 is offered in three, four and five cabins. It will fit a team of any size (within reason, of course).
Dufour 530 Grand LargeIt's easy to see why the recently introduced Dufour 530 has already become the company's top seller for charters. This is a large, comfortable boat, equipped with many options, and, of course, excellent sailing performance.

For over 15 years, Dufour yachts have been designed by Umberto Felci of Felci Yacht Design. The result is a line of boats that share a common spirit and philosophy.
The boat has a self-tipping staysail or a classic genoa. The 530 is relatively easy to drive. By and large, this yacht is a classic Dufour in the best sense of the word. Yes, yes, familiar and well-known bathing platforms, grills, galleys, latrines and cabins are located in such a way that it is impossible to confuse Dufour with something else.
The width of the vessel is just over 5 meters. Therefore, in the cabin there is a lot of space for guests and things. Depending on the layout offered by the charter company, there can be from three to six cabins.

When sailing, a wide and rigid hull tends to keep the yacht upright. This provides non-deck guests with a comfortable ride. But the sailors at the helm will not be disappointed either. Driving performance is always on top, and pleasant handling will make it possible to truly enjoy the journey.
Nautitech 46 FlyDesigned by "Fly" Mark Lombard. In this version, above the salon and cockpit, in fact, there is a third floor. From there, the skipper, sitting at the helm, has a magnificent 360-degree view. At the same time, the crew can sit around a table surrounded by soft seats and a sun lounger. Great views - what you need for a charter!

The 46 Fly charter offers a four-cabin layout with bathrooms in each cabin. Self-tipping jib and full length mainsail are standard.

On the open bridge (flybridge) all the ends of the control of the sails lead to the winches at the central helm, which makes it quite possible to sail with a small crew. Especially useful if other crew members just want to relax and enjoy the ride.
Fountaine Pajot Isla 40Fountaine Pajot has put a lot of effort into the Isla 40. It is the smallest boat in a line of seven cruising catamaran models. But don't let the size fool you!

At 40 feet long, the Isla is available in both three and four cabin configurations. At the same time, everything necessary for life is on board. A successful layout made it possible to make the hulls and the cockpit of the boat really spacious (as far as the length of 15 meters allows).
The size of the vessel, its performance and comfort are undoubtedly the reasons why it is attractive to charter companies. The Isla has four en-suite cabins to accommodate a large number of people, but its size also makes it easy to manage with a skipper and a small crew or a couple on holiday.

The Isla helm station is located on the starboard bulkhead and can be accessed from both the cockpit below and from the side deck. This allows the skipper to stay in touch with those resting under the bimini, but also provides excellent forward access if required. All ends of the sail control are connected to the winches located on the cabin roof.
