Turn-Key Mediterranean Cruiser & Exceptional Liveaboard
This highly desirable Bavaria 49 Owner's Version has recently undergone substantial upgrading, including a new Volvo Penta D2-75 engine with fewer than 80 hours, new gearbox, new stern gland, new cutlass bearing, upgraded solar system, new hot water boiler and extensive mechanical improvements.
Unlike many yachts of this age, much of the expensive work has already been completed, making her an ideal choice for buyers seeking a reliable, comfortable cruising yacht that is ready to sail away.
The owner's version is widely regarded as one of Bavaria's finest layouts, offering a spacious forward master suite with separate full size, stand up shower room and heads, two large guest cabins, air conditioning, full-size washing machine, generous tankage and extensive storage throughout.
Currently lying in Preveza, Greece, she is VAT paid, UK registered and ready to go in the water.

Owner's Comments
This yacht has been a wonderful home and cruising platform, and I am only selling because my circumstances have changed.
She combines the comfort of a much larger yacht with the simplicity, sailing performance and practicality that have made the Bavaria 49 one of the most popular cruising yachts ever built.
With her extensive recent upgrades, low-hours engine and excellent liveaboard layout, she is ready to be enjoyed immediately by her next owners.
Viewing by appointment in Preveza, Greece.
Serious enquiries welcome.
