A Proven Ocean Cruiser - Sail in Style and Comfort - Never Chartered and Privately Owned
BLUR is a second-owner, privately used 2013 Bavaria Vision 46 outfitted for comfortable extended cruising, safe offshore passagemaking, and relaxed Caribbean living. Designed by Bruce Farr of Farr Yacht Design and built by Bavaria Yachts, the Vision 46 blends performance sailing, bluewater capability, and a bright, modern three-cabin, two-head interior.
The current owner took possession of BLUR in Grenada and enjoyed a season of Caribbean cruising. A new opportunity now makes the yacht available to her next owner.
The Vision 46 is known for its clever offset companionway and expansive cockpit arrangement. The large port cockpit table can be lowered manually to create a daybed or lounging area, while twin helms provide good visibility and comfortable steering positions. The Side-Power bow thruster, centralized winch arrangement, and lines led aft make BLUR well suited for short-handed sailing.
Below, the Vision 46 feels notably open and inviting, with fixed hull ports, overhead hatches, generous natural light, and a smart interior plan. The asymmetrical companionway creates an excellent galley/pantry area, while the saloon offers a flexible portside navigation table that converts into a continuous bench. Combined with new 2025 standing rigging, black Crusader sails, solar charging, Hydrovane self-steering, and Garmin electronics, BLUR is a compelling cruising package that is ready for her next adventure.
Ideal usage includes bluewater offshore passages, extended liveaboard cruising, weekend and coastal sailing, and short-handed or couple cruising with the benefit of bow thruster, electric winch, Hydrovane self-steering, solar charging, and a practical three-cabin layout.
Key Features:
The Bavaria Vision 46 offers a modern, bright, and practical interior centered around owner comfort and ease of movement. High-end finishing, white vinyl headliners with varnished teak strip interlay, ocean liner flooring, warm woodwork, and generous fixed and opening portlights create a welcoming atmosphere throughout.
BLUR is arranged with three cabins and two heads. The forward master stateroom provides the most private accommodation aboard, while the two aft cabins provide flexibility for guests, family, storage, or cruising gear. The main saloon connects naturally with the offset companionway, galley, convertible navigation table, and aft accommodations, making the interior feel larger and more useful than many yachts in this size range.
Interior Styling and Additional Features:
MAIN SALOON
The main saloon is flexible and comfortable, with an L-shaped dinette to starboard around a large adjustable table and a straight settee to port. With the cushions removed, the middle portion of the portside settee lifts to form a small navigation desk, and the table area can convert into a continuous bench when not in use as a chart table.
MASTER STATEROOM
The forward master stateroom features an island queen berth with ample storage below and hanging space, creating a private and comfortable retreat for extended cruising.
Master Head
The ensuite master head is located forward and includes a manual toilet, GRP sink with faucet, and separate shower stall.
VIP STATEROOM
The aft starboard cabin is arranged as a double cabin and is currently used for extra storage, giving BLUR useful flexibility for cruising equipment, spares, or additional guests.
VIP Head
The aft guest/day head serves the aft cabins and includes a manual toilet, sink, and shower.
GUEST CABIN (PORT)
The aft port cabin features twin berths and is accessed through the galley, providing a practical and private guest cabin.
The galley is one of the strongest features of the Vision 46 layout. Because of the offset companionway, the portside galley has excellent working space, secure bracing, and a central sink arrangement that drains effectively on either tack.
NAVIGATION STATION
The navigation station is located forward to port in the main cabin. The convertible chart table arrangement allows the space to serve as both a working navigation area and part of the main saloon seating when desired.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
BLUR is equipped with Garmin navigation equipment, AIS, VHF communications, and satellite/Wi-Fi equipment, giving the crew good situational awareness from the nav station and both helm positions.

HULL
BLUR is built with a GRP hull and gelcoat finish. The hull was percussion tested during a recent survey with no delamination or disbonding observed, and moisture readings were reported in the dry range.
DECK
The deck is molded cored GRP with integral non-skid gelcoat. The deck layout supports safe movement forward and aft, with stainless rails, stanchions, lifelines, grab rails, flush hatches, and well-organized deck hardware.

ENGINE AND MECHANICAL
BLUR is powered by a Volvo Penta D2-55F 55 hp diesel engine driving a Volvo Penta saildrive. The engine starts without excessive cranking according to the survey notes, and the engine compartment is reported to show no visible damage, oil leaks, or heavy corrosion.
PLUMBING AND TANKAGE
BLUR has a practical cruising plumbing system with pressurized hot and cold water, two freshwater tanks, two holding tanks, hot water via engine loop/electric element, shower sump pumps, and both electric and manual bilge pumps.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Having spent time around a wide range of cruising sailboats, I find the Bavaria Vision 46 to be one of those yachts that immediately feels right the moment you step aboard. She was clearly designed with real owners in mind: easy to handle short-handed, exceptionally comfortable at anchor or underway, and filled with the natural light, storage, and intelligent layout that make extended time aboard genuinely enjoyable.
For sailors looking for a yacht that blends offshore capability with modern liveaboard comfort, BLUR is a very well-thought-out package. Her new standing rigging, black Crusader sails, Hydrovane self-steering, solar array, Garmin electronics, bow thruster, and private-use history make her a compelling option for a cruising couple or family looking to step aboard and go.
Cruising World described the Bavaria Vision 46 as a definitive couple's cruiser, highlighting the model's modern design, layout, and execution.
