Bavaria 38 Exclusive


The Bavaria 38 Exclusive is the yacht for which you have been waiting. Certainly, she has been created for the skipper who consciously wants to combine performance sailing with the most comfort possible. And this additionally with such a high degree of comfort which is only known of the upper class of the yacht scene. The saloon of the Bavaria 38 Exclusive symbolises the art of yacht construction in an outstanding manner. The functional and at the same time beautiful layout of the room, the complete interior equipment with its selected wood structure, the extremely comfortable seats with their ergoinomically shaped upholstery - all this gives the saloon the timeless solidity of beautiful and classic yachts.

Classic tradition also prevails in the navigation area and the galley which emphasizes the high class atmosphere. Wood crafted into the most noble look, solid grab rails built around the working surface shine forth elegance and high value. The owners cabin in the forebody could almost be called a suite. Guests on board are comfortably accommodated in the luxurious aft cabins.

A clever design of lines in the underwater hull as well as above the waterline characterise the appearance of the Bavaria 38 Exclusive and make her be a classic beauty and a fast sailing yacht with which you certainly have a good presence at regattas as well. The addition of the 40ft Bavaria lead keel and taller fractional mast which make for a better balanced and faster sailing yacht.

She is a much loved yacht that is reluctantly for sale by her husband and wife sailing team due to recent health issues. There are many recent upgrades with no expense spared which adds to her exclusivity.

She is a first class quality yacht that can sail you comfortably and safely anywhere you choose.
