This 2002 Bavaria 40 is a spacious, practical and well‑maintained three‑cabin, two‑heads cruiser, thoughtfully upgraded for Mediterranean sailing and comfortable liveaboard life. Bavaria’s reputation for solid German build quality, dependable systems and efficient layouts is well‑reflected in this model, making it an excellent choice for couples, families or charter operators seeking a capable 40‑footer with strong value. With VAT Paid status and a series of recent improvements, she is fully prepared for the season.

Over the past few years, the yacht has benefited from several significant upgrades, including new seacocks, upgraded batteries, replacement sails, new main hatches and smart Flexiteak decks that provide a clean, modern, low‑maintenance finish. Both the mainsail and genoa are on furling systems, giving easy, stress‑free handling for short‑handed crews. All control lines lead aft to the cockpit, enhancing safety and convenience underway.

The interior is bright, airy and well‑ventilated thanks to multiple opening portlights. The saloon features a comfortable U‑shaped seating area to starboard around a large dining table, ideal for socialising or dining aboard. Opposite, the linear galley offers generous workspace, storage and practicality for extended cruising. A proper navigation station sits aft to starboard, providing a dedicated space for passage planning and instrumentation.

Accommodation is well‑arranged for family cruising or hosting guests. Two well‑sized aft double cabins flank the companionway, each offering good storage and comfortable berths. Forward, the owner’s cabin provides a double berth, excellent stowage and a private en‑suite heads/shower, giving superb privacy for long‑term living aboard. A second heads/shower compartment aft adds convenience for guests.

The yacht is powered by a well‑maintained Volvo Penta 55hp engine, recently serviced and easily accessed beneath the companionway steps. Access around the engine is excellent, making routine maintenance straightforward.
