This 2014 Bavaria Vision 46 presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly specified, turnkey cruising yacht, fully equipped for immediate sailing. At 13.99m LOA with a wide 4.19m beam, she delivers exceptional volume, comfort, and stability — making her one of the most sought-after models in her class.
Powered by an upgraded Volvo Penta D2-75 engine and fitted with retractable bow and stern thrusters, she offers effortless handling both underway and in close quarters. Her sail setup is equally impressive, featuring a new 91m² Code 0 (2025), electric winches, and a proven, easy-to-manage rig — ideal for short-handed cruising without compromising performance.
This example benefits from a highly desirable owner’s layout, offering 2 spacious cabins, 2 electric heads, and an additional skipper’s cabin — a rare and versatile configuration suited to both private ownership and extended cruising. On deck, full teak throughout, a hydraulic cockpit table converting to a sunbed, and a brand-new 2025 bimini and dodger create a premium onboard living environment.
Further highlights include a comprehensive Garmin navigation suite with radar and autopilot, upgraded electrical systems, and a long list of recent improvements that set this yacht apart from standard market offerings.
Well maintained, extensively upgraded, and ready to sail, this Bavaria Vision 46 represents serious value for buyers looking for a capable, comfortable, and immediately available cruising yacht.
