The Bavaria Cruiser 57 marked the beginning of the relaunch of the Cruiser series by the German shipyard Bavaria Yachtbau in 2017. Collaborating with the new in-house designer Maurizio Cossutti, the flagship was created as a design and technology showcase with a completely newly developed, elegant line: a modern hull with a wide stern, chines, and vertical bow, a boxy superstructure with a characteristic wrap-around window band, a broad, comfortable cockpit, and a huge, foldable bathing platform that is unparalleled in its class. Leading the halyards, sheets, and reefing lines to the winch consoles in front of the two helm stations, the self-tacking jib, and the option to equip the Bavaria C57 with bow and stern thrusters, as well as electric winches, make handling this large yacht easy and safe - even for small crews. Another first for the Giebelstadt shipyard: the Bavaria C57 is the first model whose hull and deck are built using the vacuum infusion process, ensuring a lighter and more stable laminate.

Well-maintained, fully equipped, privately owned second-hand yacht (not chartered). Beyond the rich standard specification of the Style version, this Bavaria C57 is extensively equipped: retractable bow and stern thrusters, four electric winches, a furling mast, complete teak deck, two diesel heaters, and an extensive B&G navigation system including three plotters, radar, AIS, etc. are on board. The current owner made significant investments in 2025: a stainless steel arch with solar panels, air conditioning, a 3.30 m dinghy with a 20 HP outboard engine were added. 4-cabin layout with four heads and skipper cabin in the sail locker, and "Club-Style" interior finish in light oak with dark Wenge floorboards. The Bavaria C57 was moored in the Baltic Sea until the 2025 season, was stored indoors every winter, professionally maintained, and is in very good condition. The pictures were taken in 2024 (before the arch installation), current photos will follow shortly.
