2000 Bavaria 47, USD 109,900

The Bavaria 47 strikes an exceptional balance between performance, comfort, and generous living space, delivering the kind of cruising experience typically associated with yachts at a considerably higher price point. Her sleek, purposeful design combines impressive sailing performance with an expansive interior and a welcoming sense of volume, making her equally well suited to spirited passages and relaxed extended cruising.

Designed as a true performance cruiser, she offers lively handling and rewarding speed while retaining the comfort and practicality expected of a serious offshore yacht. Her CE Category A certification, complemented by a Kevlar-reinforced hull, provides an added level of confidence for ocean passages and bluewater adventures.

For the discerning sailor seeking a yacht that offers speed without sacrificing comfort, space without unnecessary complexity, and offshore capability without the premium price of a boutique brand, the Bavaria 47 presents an outstanding opportunity. She is a sophisticated, versatile cruising platform with the performance to inspire and the space to make extended time aboard genuinely enjoyable. The inclusion of Kevlar in the forward sections of the hull is a significant safety bonus. While GRP is the primary material, the Kevlar adds protection against floating objects often encountered during ocean crossings. The Bavaria 47's stability is driven largely by form stability, meaning she gains much of her upright resistance from her 14'8" beam. This makes for a very stiff boat initially, which is comfortable for the crew because the boat does not heel excessively in moderate gusts.
