The professional's opinion

This is a very pleasant Bavaria 40 Cruiser, ideal for sailing with a group, with real interior space, 3 cabins, 2 bathrooms, and everything you need to sail in comfort.

The bow thruster, the 2023 genoa, and the Garmin electronics are genuine day-to-day benefits. It is a boat that I find easy to understand, reassuring in its setup, and well suited for cruising with family or friends.

Description

BAVARIA 40 CRUISER YEAR 2012 FOR SALE – 3 CABINS – VOLVO PENTA 40 HP – BOW THRUSTER

This BAVARIA 40 CRUISER from 2011 (year 2012) for sale is a cruising sailboat of 11.99 meters, offered in a configuration particularly suited for holidays with family or friends, with 3 cabins, 6 berths and 2 shower rooms.

With its 3.96 meters of beam and a draft of 2.05 meters, the Bavaria 40 Cruiser offers attractive interior space while keeping a pleasant cockpit and easy exterior circulation thanks to its side decks.

Power is provided by a 40 HP Volvo Penta diesel, currently showing approximately 1,000 hours (hours subject to increase). The boat has a fuel tank capacity of 210 liters as well as a fresh water capacity of 370 liters, particularly convenient for multi-day cruises.

Port maneuvers are made easier by the presence of a bow thruster, complemented by an electric anchor windlass and anchoring gear fitted with a Kobra anchor with 60 meters of chain.

The electronics are particularly comprehensive with a Garmin GPSMAP 4008 GPS coupled to the Garmin GHC 10 autopilot, a Garmin log-speedometer, a Garmin anemometer-wind vane, a fishfinder, a radar, a fixed Navicom RT550 VHF and a handheld Plastimo SX200 VHF. The autopilot engine has been replaced in 2019.

The sail plan includes a slightly battened mainsail on slides, a 2023 furling genoa, a lazy bag and a rigid boom kicker (outhaul) whose ram was replaced in 2019.

The exterior features a teak cockpit as well as teak side decks, a cockpit table, cushions, a bimini, a spray hood and a manual aft platform making access to the sea easier.

Inside, the boat offers 2 manual toilets, 2 black water tanks, engine hot water and 220 V, 12 V refrigerator, cooker, microwave, television, and an audio installation with indoor and outdoor speakers.

The electrical system includes two service batteries, an 80 Ah engine battery, a battery dedicated to the bow thruster, and a Quick SBC 501 NRG 45A/12V charger.

A dinghy with a 6 HP 4-stroke Suzuki outboard motor completes the equipment.

This used Bavaria 40 Cruiser represents a balanced setup for a buyer looking for a sailboat of around 12 meters, comfortable, well-equipped, and able to accommodate several people for extended cruises.
