This Bavaria Cruiser 55 is a spacious and exceptionally well-equipped bluewater cruising yacht, designed for comfortable long-distance sailing with family and guests onboard. Built in 2009 and launched in 2010, she features the highly desirable 4-cabin / 2-head layout and has been privately owned since new, never chartered.
Currently berthed in Barcelona and VAT paid under French registration, she presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a proven Mediterranean cruiser or liveaboard yacht ready for immediate use.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D3-110 diesel engine with approximately 1,300 engine hours, the yacht has benefited from continuous professional maintenance and important recent upgrades completed in 2026, including antifouling, full engine and drivetrain inspection, new shaft gland, anode replacement, bathing platform overhaul, hatch repainting and installation of a new Mase IS 5 generator.
The yacht is equipped for extended cruising with:
Bow thruster
Watermaker
Solar panels
Victron inverter system
Garmin navigation electronics
Radar and AIS
Electric winches
Full cockpit enclosure
Hydraulic bathing platform
Dinghy with outboard
Spacious teak cockpit
Her large cockpit, wide side decks and bright interior provide excellent onboard comfort both underway and at anchor. The Bavaria Cruiser 55 is well known for combining performance sailing with generous interior living spaces, making her ideal for Mediterranean cruising, family cruising or extended stays onboard.
The owner is selling the yacht as he is moving on to new personal projects.
Viewings highly recommended.
