BROKER’S REMARKS
Chota Rani is a particularly appealing Bavaria 37 Cruiser for a buyer looking for a well-equipped yacht that has continued to receive proper care and investment. Her manageable 11.20m length, spacious cockpit and comfortable two-cabin layout make her an excellent choice for relaxed island hopping with family and friends, while six berths provide useful flexibility when guests are aboard.
The current owners have continued to maintain and improve the yacht, with recent attention covering the engine, saildrive, cooling system, gas installation, seacocks and through-hulls, safety equipment and antifouling. Standing rigging was renewed in 2023, and further 2026 improvements include a new engine start battery and replacement windlass remote control.
With a strong cruising inventory, 100m of anchor chain, solar charging and useful navigation equipment, Chota Rani is set up for comfortable and straightforward cruising without a long list of immediate preparation. The added benefit of dry berth fees paid until 7 August 2027 makes this an especially convenient proposition for her next owner.
