Aft, the guest cabin is equally inviting, with a wide double berth and easy access to the second head. The layout is ideal for couples, small families, or entertaining guests in style.

Performance Meets Comfort The Bavaria 40 is renowned for its solid build and balanced sailing characteristics. Whether you’re chasing sunsets along the coast or embarking on a bluewater adventure, this vessel delivers a smooth, confident ride. The wide beam provides excellent stability and interior volume, while the deep keel and efficient rig ensure responsive handling under sail. With all lines led aft and a spacious cockpit, she’s easy to manage solo or with a small crew.

Lovingly Maintained, Ready to Go This yacht has seen only one owner since delivery, and it shows.

Systems are in working order, the sails are in great shape, and she’s equipped with everything you need to hit the water immediately. In 2023, her engine was rebuilt, a new Garmin chartplotter installed as well as the lifelines/stanchions redone and newly rebedded. The purchase includes all the materials (hardware, canvas, and isinglass) for a new sprayhood and bimini.
