Bavaria 38 Cruiser (velero) - en venta

Remarks :
This 2005 Bavaria 38 Cruiser offers a spacious three-cabin interior, with teak decks in very good condition — already on the water in the Ionian and offered at a realistic price for a sound, well-equipped yacht. The engine was reconditioned in 2018 and has accumulated approximately 300 hours since refit.
The Bavaria 38 is a straightforward and rewarding yacht to sail, well suited to island hopping in the Ionian and the wider Greek waters. She was originally operated commercially in Greece; on completion of that service the Greek authorities issued a tax exemption certificate confirming that VAT is not payable on resale.

BROKER'S REMARKS
The Bavaria 38 Cruiser is one of the most practical and well-proportioned production cruisers of its era — straightforward to sail short-handed, generous below decks for its length, and very much at home in the conditions the Ionian offers. This example has been maintained with care and fitted with sensible upgrades: a reconditioned engine with low hours since the rebuild, a new refrigerator, and a solar charging arrangement that reduces marina dependency on longer passages.
The three-cabin layout works well for a couple using the yacht as a base for extended cruising, or for a couple with guests sharing for a week of island hopping. The cockpit is comfortable and well-organised, with lines led aft and the bimini providing good shade. The teak decks are in very good condition — a detail that makes a material difference to the feel and presentation of the boat.
The RIB tender is a practical bonus for a yacht of this type. For the buyer seeking a well-found cruising yacht in a well-connected Ionian base with very little work outstanding, this Bavaria 38 merits an early inspection.

HISTORY
This Bavaria 38 Cruiser was built by Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH in 2005 (HIN: DE-BAVX38K2A505) and was initially operated commercially in Greece. On completion of her commercial service the Greek authorities issued a tax exemption certificate in respect of the vessel, confirming that VAT is not payable on resale. She subsequently passed into private ownership and is currently registered under the British flag.
Under private ownership she has been maintained on an ongoing basis. Notable works include epoxying of the keel in 2016, reconditioning and refitting of the Volvo Penta MD2030 engine in 2018 (approximately 300 hours since refit), replacement of the Jabsco electric toilets in 2019, and replacement of the Frigomatic refrigerator in 2023. A Furlex 200S furling headsail with new UV sacrificial strip has been fitted. The solar charging arrangement — dual MPPT regulators with a dedicated panel above the bimini — provides a practical independence from shore power
