Bavaria Cruiser 32 – VAT Paid – Extensively Maintained & Upgraded – Algarve

Bavaria Cruiser 32 | 2003 | Portimão, Algarve, Portugal | EU VAT Paid

A very well-equipped Bavaria Cruiser 32 that has benefited from extensive maintenance and technical upgrades over recent years.

Rather than simply carrying out cosmetic improvements, particular attention has been given to the yacht’s essential onboard systems: electrical installation, charging system, engine peripherals, saildrive, refrigeration, sanitation, hull and underwater equipment.

The result is a well-maintained and practical cruising yacht, ideal for a couple or family looking for a manageable 32-foot cruiser with a strong inventory and many of the typical age-related technical items already attended to.

Major Maintenance & Upgrades

Electrical & Energy Systems

The yacht’s electrical system has been extensively inspected and reviewed, including:
Inspection of the complete onboard electrical installation
Inspection of navigation and interior lighting
Inspection of bilge pumps
Inspection and testing of electronic equipment
Replacement of the battery charger
New original Bavaria electrical switch panel, including circuit breakers
Large solar panel installed
MPPT solar charge regulator
Mastervolt charging equipment / battery management

These upgrades significantly improve onboard electrical reliability and energy autonomy when cruising or staying at anchor.

Engine & Propulsion

The Volvo Penta diesel engine has received considerable attention, including:

Full engine servicing
Inspection of engine peripheral systems
New starter motor
Saildrive inspection
Folding propeller
General inspection of the propulsion system

The intention has been preventive maintenance and reliability rather than simply reacting to failures.

Hull & Underwater Areas

Recent work includes:

Keel inspection
Recent antifouling / underwater hull painting
Inspection of underwater equipment
New stainless-steel aft boarding ladder

Sanitation & Plumbing

The heads and black-water system have also undergone important maintenance:

Replacement of the toilet hoses
Replacement of the relevant hull fitting / through-hull components
Replacement of valve and associated fittings
Black-water holding tank completely removed, cleaned and reinstalled

This is an important area on a yacht of this age and represents work that many comparable boats may still require.

Hot-water boiler heating element to be renewed
Bimini approximately three years old and in excellent condition
Hot and pressurised water system
Refrigerator
Oven and gas cooker
Teak cockpit

Navigation & Deck Equipment

The yacht is well equipped for cruising, including:

GPS / chartplotter
Radar
Autopilot
Icom IC-M330 VHF
Wind instruments
Depth and speed instruments
Electric anchor windlass
Furling genoa
Sprayhood
Bimini
Solar charging system

Honest Condition

This is a used yacht from 2003 and is presented honestly.

The main technical systems have received considerable attention and investment. There are still a few minor items that would benefit from improvement or cosmetic attention, like sprayhood and the lazy bag.

These are relatively minor points compared with the technical maintenance and upgrades already carried out.

For a buyer looking for a yacht to enjoy rather than immediately undertaking a major technical refit, this Bavaria Cruiser 32 represents a very interesting opportunity.
