About
Bavaria 40 Ocean Centre Cockpit – 2001 | Privately Owned • Never Chartered • VAT Paid
A well-maintained and extensively equipped Bavaria 40 Ocean Centre Cockpit, one of the most respected cruising yachts in her class. Built by Bavaria Yachtbau in 2001 and configured in the highly desirable owner's version layout, she combines comfortable liveaboard accommodation with proven offshore capability, making her ideal for Mediterranean cruising, extended voyages and long-term life afloat.
Privately owned throughout her life and never chartered, she has benefited from continuous maintenance and thoughtful upgrades. Offered VAT paid and currently located in the Mediterranean, she represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine cruising yacht ready for immediate use.
The Bavaria 40 Ocean is renowned for its secure centre cockpit design, spacious interior and practical sailing characteristics. Below deck, the owner's layout provides exceptional comfort, featuring a forward double guest cabin and a large aft owner's stateroom with a queen-sized berth. The bright saloon, upgraded with suede upholstery in 2016, offers a welcoming living space, complemented by a well-equipped galley, dedicated navigation station and a heads compartment with separate shower.
Under sail, she is easy to manage and well suited to short-handed cruising. Her fractional sloop rig incorporates in-mast furling, while standing rigging and the Furlex furling system were renewed in 2015. The genoa was replaced in 2016 and the mainsail in 2017, both remaining in very good condition. Quality Harken self-tailing winches complete an efficient and dependable sail-handling package.
Power is provided by a Volvo Penta MD22L 50hp diesel engine with approximately 3,332 hours. The engine underwent a comprehensive overhaul in 2017, including new injectors and cambelt, while the saildrive seal was renewed in 2012.
The yacht is particularly well equipped for independent cruising. A modern electrical system renewed in 2021 includes Victron AGM batteries, Victron monitoring and inverter systems, Alpha Pro charging regulation and upgraded wiring. Two 150W solar panels with MPPT controller provide excellent energy generation, allowing the vessel to operate with minimal reliance on shore power.Navigation equipment includes a B&G Vulcan 7 chartplotter, AIS transponder, Garmin GPS, Raymarine wind, speed and depth instruments, Raymarine autopilot, DSC VHF radio and Garmin inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator.
Tankage comprises 230 litres of fuel, 380 litres of fresh water and a 60-litre holding tank, supporting extended cruising without compromise. Ground tackle includes a 33kg Spade anchor, secondary anchors, 80 metres of galvanised chain and a Lofrans electric windlass with cockpit remote.Additional equipment includes a bimini, sprayhood, cockpit cushions, passerelle, deck shower, winter cover, heating systems, liferaft, PLB, safety gear and an Aquafax inflatable tender with Tohatsu outboard.
