The Bavaria 38 is a well-maintained 2003 performance cruiser offering an excellent balance of comfort, reliability, and sailing capability. 

This 11.91 m yacht features a spacious three-cabin layout, generous storage, and a practical interior ideal for extended cruising. 

With a modern sail plan including a Quantum furling mainsail and genoa renewed in 2021, she provides comfortable and efficient sailing performance. 

The yacht has been continuously upgraded, including new standing rigging, running rigging improvements, and a professionally treated underwater hull system completed in 2024 with epoxy protection and new Jotun antifouling.

Equipped for independent cruising, the Bavaria 38 features a Volvo Penta MD2030 29 HP diesel engine with extensive maintenance history, upgraded electrical systems with solar panels, Victron charging equipment, and new service batteries installed in 2025. 

The yacht offers a comprehensive cruising setup with electric windlass, Mantus anchor and 75 m chain, Raymarine autopilot, Geonav navigation equipment, AIS, cockpit-controlled sail handling, and a full suite of safety equipment. 

The comfortable cockpit includes teak decking, davits, shower, removable steering wheel, and new NKS Loft canvas work, including a bimini with side and aft shades completed in 2025. 

A reliable and thoughtfully upgraded yacht, Bavaria 38 KEROS is ready for coastal cruising, island hopping, and longer Mediterranean adventures. 

The boat is available for handover at the end of September after the owner finishes their sailing season.
