2005 Bavaria 38 Cruiser (40 feet) is a privately owned sailing yacht in excellent condition, thoughtfully maintained and extensively upgraded for both comfortable cruising and liveaboard use.
She offers a spacious, stable platform that’s easy to handle. Built with a fiberglass hull, a fin keel with spade rudder, and a fractional sloop rig, she is well-suited for coastal and offshore sailing alike.
Below deck, the layout features three comfortable cabins and one head, making her perfect for extended voyages with family or friends. The interior is in pristine condition with new saloon cushions (2024).
The yacht is equipped with 450Ah of LiFePo house batteries (2023) with Renogy monitoring and DC-DC charging, two 50W solar panels (2024), and full LED interior lighting. Modern navigation and communication systems include dual Garmin Echomap chartplotters, AIS, new marine radio, and upgraded stereo with enhanced speakers (2022–2023).
Mechanically sound and ready to sail, this Bavaria 38 Cruiser is powered by a reliable Volvo Penta MD2030 engine, working perfectly, with all records and invoices available. Major works include a new exhaust elbow (2022), raw water pump seal replacement (2024), and a professionally rebuilt saildrive and diaphragm in 2021.
She comes with an in-mast furling mainsail and furling genoa, both in good condition, and a 2.3m dinghy with a Honda 2.3HP outboard (2023). Additional features enhance both convenience and safety: bow thruster, windlass with 65m of 8mm chain, two spare anchors, a stern shower, and a rear swim platform.
The galley is fully equipped with a new Eno stove and oven (2024), a top-loading fridge with a new thermostat, and two propane tanks.
Sprayhood and bimini were replaced in 2023.
Used only 2–3 months per year and dry-stored off-season, this Bavaria is a turnkey solution for sailors seeking a dependable, well-equipped yacht.
