Bavaria 31 Cruiser (sailboat) for sale

The Bavaria 31 Cruiser is a brilliant, pocket-cruiser. Engineered by the renowned J&J Design team, this yacht feels remarkably like a 34-foot cruiser, offering an unmatched blend of expansive interior volume, 1.82m standing headroom, and family-friendly comfort. Above deck, short-handed sailing is a breeze with all lines led safely aft to the deep, secure cockpit, . Below deck, the light-filled, warm mahogany interior accommodates up to six guests across two private double cabins and a convertible saloon, complete with a L-shaped galley, a dedicated navigation station, and a spacious head with a built-in wet locker. Powered by a reliable and highly efficient Volvo Penta D1-20 diesel engine, this CE Category A (Ocean) rated cruiser is the ultimate turn-key choice.
