This Bavaria 30 Cruiser (2006) is an opportunity on the under 10-meter cruiser market. Known for its sturdiness, easy handling with a reduced crew, and surprisingly comfortable accommodation (excellent headroom), this boat benefits from exemplary maintenance and a high equipment level for its category.
Its highlights:
- Recent sails (2023) + 2 asymmetric spinnakers with retractable bowsprit.
- Volvo D1-20 engine showing only 420 hours, serviced, exhaust elbow cleaned, and a new two-blade propeller.
- Premium hull treatment: Hull and keel sandblasted 2 years ago with a long-lasting Coppercoat antifouling application.
- Modern and high-performance electronics: Raymarine Axiom 7 chartplotter, EV-100 autopilot, Raymarine i60 displays.
