Bavaria 40 (2001) – A Versatile, Easy-to-Handle Cruiser

This Bavaria 40, built in 2001, offers a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and practicality, making her an excellent choice for both new and experienced sailors. Designed for ease of handling, she features a well-thought-out deck layout with Harken winches and well-placed controls, making sailing effortless whether short-handed or with a full crew. Her Raymarine navigation equipment ensures confidence at the helm, while her stable hull design provides a safe and comfortable ride in a variety of conditions.

Below deck, this version of the Bavaria 40 benefits from the sought-after U-shaped galley to starboard, offering generous workspace and storage, while the saloon’s distinctive owner’s chairs to port create a comfortable and social space for relaxation. The spacious interior, finished in high-quality woodwork, includes a well-proportioned forward owner's cabin and two large aft cabins, making her ideal for family cruising or charter use. Equipped with three solar panels and a VictronConnect solar system, she provides excellent energy efficiency, allowing for extended cruising with minimal reliance on shore power.

Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta MD2030 50hp marine diesel engine, this Bavaria 40 is not only easy to handle but also easy to maintain at low cost, making her an economical and practical choice for any sailor. Well-maintained and ready for her next adventure, she offers an ideal setup for those looking to explore the coastline or embark on longer passages with confidence and comfort.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
