Chimera

Chimera is a well-maintained Bavaria 42 sailing yacht based in Kavala, Greece—a historic port town that opens directly onto the crystalline waters of the Northern Aegean. This 2001 classic offers genuine comfort for groups of up to nine guests seeking an authentic Mediterranean sailing experience without the complexity of larger vessels. With four cabins and two heads, she strikes an ideal balance between social space and private retreat, making her equally suited to families, groups of friends, or couples who want room to spread out across a week-long voyage. The yacht's thoughtful design prioritizes both sailing performance and everyday livability. An included tender allows you to explore hidden anchorages and reach remote beaches inaccessible by larger boats, while solar panels and GPS chartplotter with cockpit display keep you self-sufficient and confident as you navigate between the Sporades islands and the Thassos coastline. The bimini top and sprayhood protect you from the Aegean sun and occasional spray, creating a comfortable cockpit hub where you'll spend mornings with coffee and evenings watching the light shift across the water. Days aboard Chimera typically unfold at a gentle pace: morning sail to a new anchorage, afternoon swim from the platform, sunset drinks in the cockpit as local fishing boats drift past. The 55-horsepower engine ensures reliable passages when the wind drops, while the manageable 12.95-metre length means you can navigate narrow channels and tight mooring fields with ease. Two cabins with double beds provide comfort for couples or families, while additional berths accommodate your wider crew in a convivial, intimate setting. A week aboard Chimera carries you through some of Greece's most rewarding sailing grounds—pine-clad islands, tavernas where the catch of the day is grilled over charcoal, and anchorages where you'll fall asleep to the gentle lap of water against the hull.
