Bavaria Cruiser 51 (barca a vela) - vendita

SummaryPrivate Use Since New | Major 2024-2026 Upgrades | Shoal Draft 1.85m | Lithium & 740W Solar | Bow & Stern Thrusters

This 2015 Bavaria Cruiser 51 'ANJE III' is a proven blue-water cruising yacht built for family sailing, extended passages and comfortable life aboard in equal measure. This particular example has been kept in private use only, meticulously maintained and continuously upgraded by her owner, making her one of the more comprehensively equipped Cruiser 51s currently on the market.

Below decks, ANJE III is configured in the popular four-cabin layout, with three double cabins and a further bunk cabin, served by three heads compartments (two electric, one manual). This arrangement makes her equally suited to a large family cruising together or to charter use with multiple couples aboard, without compromising on privacy or storage space.

Her shoal draught of just 1.85m opens up shallow anchorages and marinas that deeper draught yachts of this size cannot reach, while her generous water and fuel capacity (750 litres and 300 litres respectively) support extended passages away from shore facilities.

The current owner has owned ANJE III since new and has invested heavily in her systems in recent years: new lithium house battery bank, upgraded bow and stern thrusters, new solar generation, recent standing rigging inspection and furling gear, a full suite of new Garmin electronics, and a brand-new liferaft, bimini and sprayhood — all completed in 2024-2026. The result is a yacht that is genuinely ready to cruise, with the major capital items already addressed by her current owner.

She is presented in excellent, well-cared-for condition throughout and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a heavily upgraded Cruiser 51 with clear, itemised maintenance history.

Broker Comments
ANJE III stands out in the used Bavaria Cruiser 51 market for the depth and recency of investment made by her current owner. Rather than presenting a boat with deferred maintenance, this is a yacht where the significant capital items - batteries, thrusters, electronics, canvas work, and standing rigging - have already been addressed within the last one to two years, giving a buyer real confidence and a materially lower cost of ownership going forward.
The four-cabin, three-heads configuration is particularly sought after in this model and works well both for owner-operators cruising with family and for those considering charter potential. The lithium house bank paired with new solar generation gives genuinely useful off-grid endurance, while the new autopilot, chartplotter and AIS transponder bring the navigation suite fully up to date.
The one item flagged for attention is the mainsail, which is showing wear and would benefit from replacement, this is reflected in the asking price and worth factoring into a buyer's first-year budget. Otherwise, this is a well equipped and sail ready Cruiser 51 with clear, documented upgrade history.
