Broker's Comments

This Bavaria 30 Cruiser is an extremely clever and well-designed boat that packs a huge amount of space and accommodation into a 30ft boat. With 6 comfortable berths in 2 cabins & saloon, galley, nav station & spacious heads down below, she still allows for a spacious cockpit that even has a fitted table. Furthermore, her extensive inventory includes Webasto Diesel Heating, Chart Plotter GPS, Tridata & Wind Indicator & she even has a stereo CD player for when it is time to Party. With a fully battened mainsail & furling Genoa, all her control lines are led aft to the cockpit which means she is easily sailed short or even single-handed. This model has a Category A, Ocean-going rating which is rare in a boat of her size so you can be confident that as well as being comfortable, she is also very capable.

With her excellent design, comprehensive inventory & equipment list, this Bavaria 30 Cruiser offers everything you could need for fun sailing around coastal waters whilst still being very capable of cruising further afield. It is clear she has been well maintained having had a recent new sail drive seal, exhaust elbow & an AIS Receiver fitted. It was even Copper Coated in 2019 to help reduce maintenance costs. She has plenty of onboard space for safe & enjoyable cruising with family & friends, but is equally manageable short-handed. She is currently lying in Southampton & viewing is highly recommended.
