Yes, Yachten Meltl offers the classic private purchase option for owners who wish to use their BAVARIA yacht exclusively for private purposes in the Croatian Adriatic. Yachten Meltl assists you in selecting the optimal equipment for owners (e.g., self-sufficiency packages, air conditioning, solar systems), handling the import and registration processes, and securing a suitable berth in Croatia.

Yes, Yachten Meltl specializes in purchase-charter (Yachtinvest) programs in Croatia. Under this model, you purchase a BAVARIA sailing yacht and place it in a professional charter fleet in Croatia. The charter revenue covers the yacht’s ongoing upkeep, mooring, and maintenance costs or generates an attractive return on investment, while you, as the owner, can use agreed-upon owner weeks for your own cruises.

Buying a yacht through the "buy-charter" model offers significant advantages to investors and recreational sailors:

1. Cost Recovery: The ongoing costs for berthing, insurance, and maintenance are covered by charter revenue.

2. All-Inclusive Care: Professional charter partners handle the upkeep, cleaning, and ongoing maintenance.

3. Flexible Owner Use: You get to use your BAVARIA yacht yourself for several weeks a year in Croatia, a premier sailing destination.

4. High resale value: BAVARIA yachts are in high demand on the used boat market and retain their value well.

The yacht is fully outfitted in advance, thoroughly inspected (rigging, engine performance, system check), and launched. The owner receives a detailed, several-hour-long briefing on all technical systems and sailing functions, as well as all necessary vessel documents.
