Bavaria 38 Holiday (2000) – Exceptional Condition & Ready to Go
This Bavaria 38 Holiday (2000) is a highly regarded classic, known for its perfect balance between sailing performance and unmatched living comfort. Thanks to the proven design by J&J Design, the vessel is stable and predictable at sea, while the interior — featuring three double cabins, two bathrooms and a warm mahogany finish — offers a luxurious home on the water. Unlike many newer models, this specific series is known for its robust build quality and durable materials, making it a particularly safe investment for sailing families.

What makes this yacht truly unique on the market is its exceptional level of maintenance. Between 2021 and 2025, the vessel has been fully updated both technically and aesthetically. The hull has been stripped and treated (primed and antifouling), the standing rigging is new with Dyneema halyards, and it features a new mainsail, a new lazy-bag, and a new sprayhood. Critical elements such as the saildrive seal, bow thruster, folding propeller, all hoses (water and waste), rudder bearings, and pumps (freshwater, diesel, engine) have been replaced preventively.

This example is literally "ready to go"; as a new owner, you won't need to invest a single euro to set sail immediately. Whether you wish to explore the coasts of Brittany, Holland, or the UK, all major maintenance and upgrades (including radar mast, wind vane-anemometer, and 220V external connection) have already been completed. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a "turnkey" quality yacht that will only require regular seasonal maintenance in the coming years.
