Bavaria 36 (sailboat) for sale

Remarks :
DESCRIPTION

LEXUS is a well-equipped 1999 Bavaria 36/3 offering the popular three-cabin layout with six berths, making her a practical choice for family cruising and longer holidays aboard. EU VAT paid and currently lying ashore at Ionion Marine, Aktio, Greece, she has been in her current ownership since 2015 and has been privately sailed throughout that ownership.
A particularly important feature is her Volvo Penta MD30 29hp diesel engine, which underwent a complete overhaul in 2023. Her cruising inventory has also been progressively updated, with recent M-Sails mainsail and genoa, B&G VHF equipment, stainless-steel anchor chain, solar charging, a 2024 tender and new bimini in 2025.
The in-mast furling mainsail, roller-reefing genoa and lines managed from the cockpit make sail handling straightforward, while an electric windlass, heating, hot and cold pressurised water, Garmin navigation equipment and Raymarine autopilot add to comfort and ease of ownership.
LEXUS has also benefited from a consistent maintenance routine. Since 2015, she has been taken ashore for approximately six months each year, with annual maintenance undertaken. This, combined with her recent upgrades and practical cruising inventory, makes her an appealing Bavaria 36 for island hopping with family and friends.
