The yacht features a twin-wheel steering system, a self-tacking jib for easy handling, and an expansive bathing platform that is essential for enjoying the turquoise waters of the Delos and Rhenia islands. The interior is flooded with natural light thanks to the many hull windows and deck hatches, a trademark of the Bavaria C-Line.

Why the Bavaria C50 is Ideal for Mykonos Waters

The sea conditions around Mykonos can vary from calm mornings to the brisk afternoon "Meltemi" winds common in July and August. The Bavaria C50 is particularly well-suited for these conditions due to its high stability and advanced hull shape, which cuts through the Aegean chop with minimal slamming. Its 5.05-meter beam ensures that even when the boat is heeled over, the living spaces remain comfortable.

With a draft of 2.30 meters, the C50 can safely approach the popular southern beaches of Mykonos, such as Psarou or Super Paradise, while maintaining enough clearance from the rocky seabed. The integrated dinghy garage allows for quick deployment of a tender, making it easy to transition from your yacht to the shore for lunch at Nammos or Scorpios.

Chartering Costs in Mykonos: 2026 Price Guide

When renting a Bavaria C50 in Mykonos, prices fluctuate based on the season and the level of service required. For 2026, we anticipate the following weekly price ranges in EUR:

Season Months Weekly Price Range (EUR)
Low Season April, May, October €4,200 – €5,800
Mid Season June, September €6,000 – €8,500
High Season July, August €9,000 – €11,500

Bareboat vs. Skippered: If you possess a valid ICC or RYA Day Skipper license (plus a second experienced crew member), you may opt for a bareboat charter. However, most luxury travelers prefer a skippered or fully crewed charter. A professional skipper (typically €190–€250 per day) handles navigation and mooring, while a hostess/cook can be added to manage provisioning and meals.

Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Mykonos

Most Bavaria C50 charters originate from the Tourlos Marina (the New Port), located approximately 2km north of Mykonos Town (Chora). This is the only marina in Mykonos capable of providing consistent shore power and water for a yacht of this size.

  • Mooring Fees: Expect to pay between €50 and €150 per night in Tourlos, depending on the season and utility usage.
  • Anchorages: In the southern bays like Ornos or Platys Gialos, you will likely anchor and use the tender. These bays offer excellent protection from the northerly Meltemi winds.
  • Provisioning: There are several supermarkets near Tourlos that offer delivery services directly to the dock, ensuring your Bavaria C50 is fully stocked before departure.
