Bavaria 38 (2004) En vente

This well-maintained example features three cabins, upgraded systems, and extensive documentation since new. It is easy to handle yet fully equipped for longer journeys throughout the entire season.

This boat is fitted with the more powerful Volvo Penta D2-55 engine with approx. 1100 hours and a Side-Power SE80 bow thruster (2021) for safe maneuvering in harbors. Navigation has been modernized with a Raymarine Axiom 9+ (2025), HD radar, AIS, and a fully updated Seatalk NG network. The rig has recently been serviced and tuned (2025), and the sail inventory includes Elvström laminate sails. Onboard comfort includes a Webasto heater, custom-fit mattresses, and an efficient Isotherm ASU cooling system that provides energy-saving refrigeration during long passages without shore power. Deck equipment includes electric windlasses both fore and aft, a sprayhood and cockpit enclosure from 2020, as well as a reinforced bowsprit with ladder. The boat is sold with full documentation, an epoxy-treated hull, and has never been chartered or grounded.
