The seller is motivated and eager to pass the torch, making this an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking a proven cruiser with comfort, style, and pedigree.

Spacious and Smart Layout Designed with the discerning sailor in mind, the Owner’s Edition features a luxurious 2-cabin, 2-head configuration that maximizes comfort without compromising performance. The forward owner’s cabin boasts a generous V-berth, ample storage, and an en-suite head with shower—perfect for extended cruising or liveaboard life. Aft, the guest cabin is equally inviting, with a wide double berth and easy access to the second head. The layout is ideal for couples, small families, or entertaining guests in style.

Performance Meets Comfort The Bavaria 40 is renowned for its solid build and balanced sailing characteristics. Whether you’re chasing sunsets along the coast or embarking on a bluewater adventure, this vessel delivers a smooth, confident ride. The wide beam provides excellent stability and interior volume, while the deep keel and efficient rig ensure responsive handling under sail. With all lines led aft and a spacious cockpit, she’s easy to manage solo or with a small crew.

Lovingly Maintained, Ready to Go This yacht has seen only one owner since delivery, and it shows. Regular maintenance, thoughtful upgrades, and a commitment to care have kept her in excellent condition. From the gleaming topsides to the warm, inviting teak interior, every detail reflects pride of ownership. Systems are in working order, the sails are in great shape, and she’s equipped with everything you need to hit the water immediately. In 2023, her engine was rebuilt, a new Garmin chartplotter installed as well as the lifelines/stanchions redone and newly rebedded. The purchase includes all the materials (hardware, canvas, and isinglass) for a new sprayhood and bimini.

The U-shaped settee and dining table offer a cozy space to relax or entertain, while the galley is fully equipped with a stove, oven, fridge, and ample counter space. Whether you’re preparing a gourmet meal or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, the interior is designed for comfort and functionality.
