Bavaria 38

The Bavaria 38 is one of the most appreciated sailing yachts in the cruising range of the renowned German brand Bavaria, famous for its reliability, build quality, and solutions designed for demanding sailors. This pre-owned unit, launched in 2008 and currently located in Santa Pola, Alicante, represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to combine comfort, performance, and safety in their Mediterranean voyages.

With a length of 11.45 meters, a beam of 3.9 meters, and a draft of 1.35 meters, this yacht stands out for its generous interior volume and stability that invites both coastal navigation and longer crossings. The layout of three cabins, along with a full bathroom and a kitchen equipped with an oven, refrigerator, and hot water, makes it an ideal cruiser for families or groups of up to eight people, ensuring comfort during long stays on board.

The sloop rig, with a roller main sail and a headsail with a furler, facilitates maneuvers even solo or with a reduced crew. The two-speed self-tailing winches add efficiency, while the inclusion of main sails that are only three years old and an additional set of older sails offers versatility in different wind conditions. The Volvo Penta D2-40 diesel engine, with Saildrive transmission and folding propeller, has about 1,900 hours and shows responsible maintenance, including the recent replacement of the Saildrive seal.

Regarding equipment, this Bavaria 38 excels with complete electronics: chartplotter, GPS, radar, AIS transmitter and receiver, fixed and portable VHF, wind instrument, depth sounder, and autopilot, providing safety and control at all times. The electric windlass with remote control makes anchoring easier, while the cockpit equipped with a bimini, awning, anti-splash hood with sides, cushions, table, and speakers promises relaxing days outdoors. The swim platform, ladder, and outdoor shower reinforce the family-friendly character of the yacht.

Autonomy is well addressed with generous water and fuel tanks, solar panels, inverter, and state-of-the-art batteries, including a LiFePO4 service battery. The yacht also comes with a powered auxiliary boat, a reviewed liferaft, a beacon, and a redundant bilge system with alarms, enhancing its safe and self-sufficient profile.

In short, this pre-owned Bavaria 38, moored in the strategic location of Santa Pola, presents itself as the ideal choice for sailors who value reliability, space, and ease of handling, whether for family outings, extended vacations, or even tackling more demanding crossings in Mediterranean waters.
