2015 Bavaria Virtess 420 Coupe

This 2015 Bavaria Virtess 420 Coupe combines German engineering, contemporary styling, exceptional interior volume, and the performance and maneuverability of Volvo Penta IPS propulsion.

Designed for serious cruising without sacrificing comfort, she offers a highly functional three-cabin, two-head layout, a bright panoramic salon, spacious aft cockpit, hydraulic swim platform, electric sunroof, and upper sport bridge/lounge area providing additional outdoor entertaining space rarely found on a yacht of this size.

She has spent the past several years cruising the Bahamas and has recently received extensive mechanical and underwater service, including significant engine and exhaust work, a comprehensive bottom job, and a generator replacement in 2024.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-435 diesel engines with IPS600 pod drives and joystick control, she delivers excellent maneuverability around the dock and strong performance underway. Following the recent mechanical work, the vessel was sea-trialed and reached approximately 32 knots at wide-open throttle.

The Virtess 420 Coupe is exceptionally well suited for cruising South Florida, the Keys, and the Bahamas.
