Bavaria C38 IONA

IONA is a beautifully appointed 39ft Bavaria Cruiser, offering comfortable accommodation for up to six guests in three well-designed double cabins. With a spacious layout, excellent sailing characteristics, and practical onboard amenities, she is perfectly suited for families and groups exploring the stunning Ionian Islands. Her generous beam creates an exceptionally light and spacious interior, providing plenty of room to relax after a day on the water. The thoughtfully designed saloon features a comfortable four-sided dining area centred around the island settee, while the intelligently arranged galley remains practical and secure whether under sail or at anchor. A full-size navigation station and a large shared aft bathroom further enhance the yacht's functionality. The two aft double cabins provide generous sleeping accommodation with ample standing room for easy dressing, while the spacious forward owner's cabin offers a large double berth, comfortable dressing seat, and the added convenience of a private ensuite bathroom. Above deck, IONA is exceptionally well equipped for comfortable cruising. Her extensive specification includes in-mast furling for effortless sail handling, a folding steering wheel to maximise cockpit space when at anchor, and a high-performance ROCNA anchor, renowned for its outstanding holding power in a wide range of anchorages. For the 2025 season, IONA has been fitted with a brand-new canvas package, including a new bimini and sprayhood, providing enhanced protection from the elements while giving the yacht a fresh, modern appearance. Combining Bavaria's renowned build quality with comfortable accommodation, dependable sailing performance, and easy handling, IONA is the ideal yacht for discovering the crystal-clear waters, secluded bays, and picturesque harbours of the Ionian. Whether you're enjoying relaxed days under sail or peaceful evenings at anchor, she offers everything needed for an enjoyable and memorable cruising holiday.

Check in is 16.00 pm, we always try to have the boat ready earlier if you are arriving before 16.00 pm but we cannot guarantee this. Check out is 10.00 am, we ask that you arrive back at our pontoon before 5.00 pm the day before or between 8.30 am and 9.00 am on the day. The skipper of the boat must hold a current qualification/certification from their country that allows them to charter a boat of the same type and size. The Port Police require the skipper to sign a declaration confirming the above. An ICC is required for skippers from the UK. Please note: If you are booking a bareboat charter (without one of our skippers) we require a 2500 Euros refundable security deposit. As part of check-in, we ask that you complete and sign a credit card security form. This would only be retained in the unlikely event of major damage to the boat. We do however understand that things can happen at sea, and you may lose a fender or a towel overboard etc, but these are just charged at cost price on your return. We also offer additional services to ensure you have the best holiday! • WIFI Hub • Stand up paddle board • Provisioning • Additional bed linen and towels
