Bavaria Cruiser 38 For Sale

The 2005 Bavaria 38 Cruiser is a well-designed sailboat that combines spacious living areas, reliable construction, and balanced sailing performance, making it ideal for both family trips and extended voyages. Its three-cabin layout and generous saloon highlight comfort in the 12-meter class. The boat is equipped with a well-maintained Volvo Penta MD2030-D engine, which provides sufficient power for manoeuvring and propulsion, ensuring safe operation in various conditions.

As you step aboard, the wide and ergonomic cockpit reflects Bavaria’s careful design philosophy. The twin-seat helm, large cockpit table, and sheltered seating areas create a comfortable environment both underway and at anchor. Ample cockpit storage allows for organised stowage of equipment, while the high freeboards enhance the sense of security. In addition to the standard equipment, the vessel includes several important upgrades: a Maxwell bow thruster for easier manoeuvring in tight marinas, a Webasto diesel heater for warm, comfortable interiors on cold days, and a custom-built stainless-steel and teak passerelle that provides safe and convenient access to the boat.

The sturdy deck hardware, user-friendly winch placement, wide side decks, and large swim platform enable safe, practical operation. These features create a secure working area for both experienced sailors and beginners, while also increasing comfort at anchor.

Below deck, the Bavaria 38 Cruiser offers a bright and inviting living space. The saloon features a spacious U-shaped seating area opposite a long galley, highlighted by warm wooden finishes. The galley is equipped with a large refrigerator, stove-oven combination, generous counter space, and ample cabinets, providing all the necessary equipment for extended cruising. The forward master cabin offers a wide double berth and practical storage, while the two aft cabins feature roomy double berths, good ventilation, and storage space, making them practical for families, two couples, or guests.

The boat includes a compact yet functional head with a shower, built with durable and easy-to-clean surfaces, allowing convenient use both underway and at anchor. Despite its compact size, the layout remains efficient and provides a comfortable cruising experience.

The Bavaria 38 Cruiser exhibits stable and predictable performance under sail due to its balanced hull design. It performs efficiently in light to moderate winds and remains stable in choppy conditions. The well-maintained Volvo Penta MD2030-D engine also provides safe and comfortable operation under power.

Overall, the 2005 Bavaria 38 Cruiser stands out as a preferred model in its class due to its ease of handling, spacious interior, reliable systems, upgraded bow thruster and heating system, and custom passerelle. It offers an ideal choice for sailors seeking both comfort and practicality.

The boat is currently located in Marmaris Yacht Marina, and viewings can be arranged during regular working hours except Sundays. Appointments are required for viewings, and it is recommended to schedule visits at least three days in advance.
