Maverick is our 2017 Bavaria 34 charter yacht designed by Farr Yacht design to be a capable family cruiser.
Built to a high German standard in Germany itself, Maverick has a roller furling main and genoa, with all control lines easy to hand in the cockpit. The genoa winches have been moved aft to ensure easy trimming by the helm or crew, meaning you can be under full sail in just a few minutes. As the 34 carries her beam well aft, she benefits from twin wheels – great for helming visibility, with the added bonus of direct access to the transom swim platform, without any clambering around a single wheel. A full Garmin electronics suite, including a cockpit chart plotter, makes navigation a breeze.
Below decks, Maverick has beautiful Sipo Mahogany joinery and finishings, light oak-colored cabin sole, and cream real leather upholstery. The galley, with stove, hob, and fridge is to starboard and with three surprisingly generous double cabins, there is more than enough room for family and friends. Her galley also comes equipped with a kettle, french press and toaster and she has a coal BBQ on board – ideal for meals on the water. The 34 is responsive on the helm, easily sailed short-handed, and is the perfect yacht for a fabulous week (or more) of cruising around the islands.
Her highlights include:
- A coal BBQ
- Low fuel consumption
- She may be 34ft, but you get an extra 4ft with her drop-down swim platform
- She’s responsive and easy to dock

Horia Popa, 24-29 April '24The booking and related service before, and the manager on duty’s responses during the charter were great!
David Andrews (President and CEO American Hockey League), March 12th - March 19th 2017Just a quick note to thank all of you for making our recent sailing vacation such a great one. Every aspect of our trip was terrific. Maverick was in impeccable condition and perfect for the two of us, the office staff and Lucy and Jon were terrific with respect to the boat briefing and the return process.
Couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We will be back!
Peter E. Montgomery, February 6th 2017We had an amazing trip. Maverick was perfect, as were the people at Horizon. Loved going in and out of Nanny Cay. Did Norman’s (Sun), Jost Van Dyke Great Harbor (Mon), Foxy’s Taboo/Little Harbor (Tues.), Leverick Bay in Gorda Sound (W/Th.); Cooper Island Beach Club (Fri.), and back to Nanny Cay (Sat.).
Will have to repeat next year.
Jon Trauger, Dec 2021, BVIFirst time my wife and I sailed on our own, and big thank you to Jalon and Cara all your help and instruction. Nice clean and well maintained boat, and sailing around the BVI was amazing. All horizon staff great, and we will no doubt be back chartering with Horizon!
Andy, BVI 2-7 October 2022We’re tied up at The Bight on another spectacular Caribbean sunset. Many thanks to the entire Horizon crew but both of you ( Sandra and Cara ) in particular for the characteristically friendly and outstanding professional services. We’re having a magnificent time.
C Shradar, BVI 10/5(SAB)-10/13/23Appreciate all the effort made by Horizon to keep us on track. Thank you for a great trip!
Jason Hill, 5(SAB)-13OCT23Ahoy!
My wife and I loved our recent trip on Maverick, and are already planning our return to the BVIs!

Neil Weller, Bavaria 34 “Maverick” from 28 Nov - 6 Dec CharterHi Sandra and Courtney,

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers
Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.
*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.
Current Rates
Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.
BVI Charter Rates are subject to change without notice.
