Sailing Characteristics
Designed by J&J Design, the Bavaria 44 combines comfortable cruising characteristics with good performance and easy handling. The long waterline and balanced hull provide excellent course stability and comfortable motion at sea.
This yacht has already demonstrated her capabilities through extensive offshore cruising, including the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.
With brand-new sails, twin autopilots and modern Raymarine electronics, she is ready for new adventures.

Engine and Technical
Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-55 diesel engine with approximately 4,000 engine hours.
Maintenance and upgrades include:
• Saildrive diaphragm replaced in 2024
• New water pump
• New exhaust elbow
• Cooling system cleaned and descaled
• Engine oil, filters and anodes replaced before lay-up
• Generator flywheel replaced in 2023
The vessel has been maintained continuously throughout ownership.

Condition
The yacht presents well and reflects normal wear consistent with her age and extensive cruising history. She has been actively used and continuously upgraded rather than preserved as a showpiece.
Prospective buyers should expect the normal maintenance associated with a well-travelled cruising yacht of this age, including some ongoing cosmetic and deck-related attention. The teak decks remain in serviceable condition, although some local re-caulking should be expected.
Overall, this is an honest and proven cruising yacht, equipped and prepared for new adventures rather than marina display.
