Freedom

The Bavaria C42 is another fantastic progression of the C series of yachts. The hull is innovative and guarantees best sailing performance and a large amount of space below deck. Enjoy a spacious cockpit, large bathing platform and exceptionally comfortable living area.

The foredeck and side decks provide generous room for a sailing yacht of this size. The innovative hull design also opens up new dimensions below deck. The luxurious 3-cabin version with a spacious bathroom will make it a pleasure to sail around the Ionian Islands. From €5450 per week

This Sail Ionian yacht features innovative eco-friendly solar battery air-conditioning.  

☀️ The Ionian heat is part of the magic — but not always at bedtime 

Greek summer evenings are warm, still, and beautiful. Yet when cabin temperatures hover around 30 °C, a restful night’s sleep can quickly turn into a sticky struggle.
That’s why this Sail Ionian yacht is fitted with solar battery air-conditioning — a feature surprisingly rare among Mediterranean charter fleets. 

🌬️ Real comfort at anchor and alongside 

Our systems don’t just run when you’re plugged into shore power. Each yacht is designed so you can cool the cabins while under solar and battery power, perfect for an hour before bed or during the afternoon siesta. No noisy generators or sleepless nights — just quiet, even cooling. 

💡 Not every “air-conditioned yacht” is equal 

Some operators list “air-conditioning” that only functions while moored and connected to shore power. At Sail Ionian, we specify eco-friendly A/C systems capable of operating under battery power — a genuine small yacht luxury in the Ionian region.
