Bayliner VR5, CHF 73 000

Bayliner VR5 Bowrider, as-new condition and Lake Constance approved

This Bayliner VR5 is virtually indistinguishable from a brand-new boat: just 12 engine hours on the clock and maintained to the highest standard throughout. Specified from the outset with an extensive equipment list that goes well beyond the standard configuration, this VR5 cuts a striking figure in dark blue with a crisp white deck line. The first impression is strong, and the details back it up.

Step aboard via the convenient walk-through transom and you find yourself on full Camifloor decking in teak style, lending the entire cockpit a refined, well-kept character. The upholstery in warm beige and taupe with diamond-stitched backrests and embroidered VR logos is immaculate. At the stern, the variable L-shaped bench offers versatile seating arrangements, complemented by a practical pull-out drawer beneath the seat cushion for storing accessories and smaller items. Two swivelling bucket seats at the helm and co-pilot positions provide an ergonomic driving stance and rotate towards the cockpit when at anchor. Forward, a generous U-shaped bow lounge converts into a full-length sunpad, the ideal spot for sunbathing or relaxing with up to 7 persons on board.

The helm station impresses with a sporty steering wheel, clear analogue gauges and a neatly arranged switch panel. An integrated stainless steel cup holder completes the thoughtfully designed driver's area. Between the helm and co-pilot seats, a generous floor locker accommodates bulkier equipment, while further storage compartments are tucked beneath the bow cushions.

All-round comfort is assured by the black bimini top on stainless steel framework, providing welcome shade on sunny days, the onboard refrigerator for drinks and provisions, the electric anchor windlass for effortless anchoring, and the transom shower for freshening up after a swim. The cockpit table transforms the seating area into a sociable gathering space for family and friends. What Bayliner consistently delivers with the VR series is tangible at every step: the AftAdvantage design shifts the aft seating to the very rear of the hull and clearly separates the swim platform from the living space. The result is noticeably more usable room than comparable boats in this class.

Beneath the engine cover sits a Mercruiser 4.5 MPI Alpha One producing 250 HP (184 kW) with sterndrive. This proven combination delivers powerful acceleration, confident planing and the dynamic handling that defines a sporting bowrider. With a 140-litre fuel tank, 0.70-metre draught and 1,400 kg displacement, the VR5 is versatile enough for day trips, watersports and leisurely evening cruises alike. This boat also holds full Lake Constance (Bodensee) approval.
