This rare three cabin version of the Bavaria 50 is a thoughtfully engineered cruiser that moves well in light air and carries ocean-rated credentials without sacrificing liveability. Its beam-driven stability and long waterline make it a forgiving passage-maker. Current owners have sailed the vessel on long Ocean passages from from the Indian Ocean to Panama where she waits your inspection. Bavaria Yachtbau built the Bavaria 50 in Germany with a hull of hand-laid solid GRP below the waterline and sandwich construction above it. The Category A rating and the structural choices behind it place the boat in the company of serious blue-water cruisers rather than coastal weekenders. Overall the Bavaria presents as a well finished cruiser with a big water pedigree and enviable interior amenities and volume.Additional InformationAccommodationThe 3-cabin Bavaria 50 is designed for comfortable cruising and liveaboard use. It typically features a large forward master cabin with an en-suite head and separate shower, plus two aft double cabins. This layout gives you more storage, a spacious saloon, and privacy for couples or small families. Belowdecks, the Bavaria 50 Ocean is exceptionally spacious, with a saloon designed to comfortably accommodate a crowd. The U-shaped amidships galley to port keeps the cook connected to the main living area, while the large dining table, U-shaped seating to starboard, and amidships bench can comfortably seat up to eight. This three-cabin model offers an expansive owner's cabin forward with a large head and shower to port and extended hanging lockers to starboard.
