2018 Bavaria Vision 42 EU VAT Paid.
The Bavaria Vision 42 is renowned for combining easy short-handed sailing, exceptional comfort and modern cruising performance. This model is a particularly well-equipped and meticulously maintained example, benefiting from significant upgrades in 2025 and 2026, including lithium batteries, air conditioning, solar power, inverter system, upgraded B&G electronics package, radar and AIS.
The yacht has been professionally maintained to an exceptionally high standard. Annual rig inspections, liferaft servicing, sail maintenance and comprehensive engine servicing have all been carried out throughout her life.
Her spacious two-cabin, two-heads layout offers outstanding comfort for extended cruising. The large owner's cabin forward, generous aft cabin and bright saloon create a remarkably spacious interior for a yacht of this size. Both the saloon and cockpit tables can convert into additional double berths, providing flexible accommodation for family cruising or guests.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-50 diesel engine with approximately 1,200 hours, this Bavaria Vision 42 features a bow thruster, furling sails, Code 0, electric windlass, lithium battery bank, solar charging and a comprehensive B&G navigation suite, making her equally suited to coastal cruising and longer offshore passages.
Recent upgrades include:

800Ah Victron LiFePO4 lithium battery bank (2025)
Victron 3kVA inverter system (2025)
Air conditioning system (2025)
Solar panels (2025)

B&G Halo+ Doppler radar (2025)

This Bavaria Vision 42 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a modern cruising yacht with a proven maintenance history, substantial recent investment and a specification ideally suited to Mediterranean cruising or extended liveaboard use.
