This Bavaria 40 is a spacious and practical three‑cabin, two‑heads cruiser that has been thoughtfully upgraded and well maintained, making her an excellent choice for Mediterranean sailing or full‑time liveaboard life. With a proven layout, modernised systems and a turnkey specification, she represents strong value in the 40‑foot market.
Recent Upgrades & Improvements
Over the past few years, this yacht has received a series of significant updates, including:
New seacocks
Upgraded batteries
Replacement sails
New main hatches
Smart, low‑maintenance Flexiteak decks
Both the mainsail and genoa are on furling systems, giving easy, stress‑free handling for short‑handed crews. All control lines lead aft to the cockpit, enhancing safety and convenience underway.
The interior is bright, airy and well‑ventilated thanks to multiple opening portlights. The saloon features a comfortable U‑shaped seating area to starboard around a large dining table, ideal for socialising or dining aboard. Opposite, the linear galley offers generous workspace, storage and practicality for extended cruising.
A proper navigation station sits aft to starboard, with a spacious heads/shower compartment opposite. Two well‑sized aft double cabins flank the companionway, each offering good storage and comfortable berths.
Forward, the owner’s cabin provides a double berth, excellent stowage and a private en‑suite heads/shower, giving superb privacy for long‑term living aboard.
The yacht is powered by a well‑maintained Volvo Penta 55hp engine, recently serviced and easily accessed beneath the companionway steps. Access around the engine is excellent, making routine maintenance straightforward.
Her Flexiteak decks give a clean, modern look while remaining low‑maintenance and comfortable underfoot. The cockpit is spacious and secure, offering a safe working area under sail and a relaxed space at anchor. With both sails on furling systems, she is set up for effortless cruising in all conditions.
