2016 Bavaria Cruiser 56, EUR 248,000

PRIVATE ONE OWNER | NEVER CHARTERED | ONLY 1,400 ENGINE HOURS | EU VAT PAID

WHY THIS ONE COSTS MORE: most Bavaria 56s on the market are ex-charter, VAT-excluded, 5-cabin fleet boats. This is a private 3-cabin OWNER'S VERSION, never chartered, EU VAT PAID — the tax alone is a €40K+ difference before you even compare condition, equipment and engine hours. Compare gross-to-gross, not apples to oranges.

Rare owner's version (3 cabins + skipper cabin) of the Bavaria Cruiser 56, extensively upgraded for autonomous bluewater cruising — currently in Greek waters, wintering in Marmaris 2026/27.

UNIQUE: custom-built HARDTOP (2026) — rigid all-weather cockpit protection you will not find on any other Cruiser 56. Cover photo and top-view photos show the current hardtop configuration; some gallery photos were taken before the 2026 hardtop installation. Cabin, bathroom & garage set includes owner-version reference photos of the same model (sistership) alongside our own.

TRUE SINGLE-HANDED: this 56-footer is genuinely sailed by ONE person — electric in-mast mainsail furling (in & out), electric genoa furling, and ALL winches electric, each switchable to manual operation. Complete sail handling at the push of a button.

TENDER GARAGE + BEACH CLUB: factory transom dinghy garage — the tender stows inside with the outboard fitted, ready in minutes | electrically operated TEAK swimming platform | teak bathing steps | cockpit shower.

ENERGY & AUTONOMY: Fischer Panda 8000i generator (8 kW) | watermaker 50 l/h | 2 water tanks — 700 L total | solar panels | wind generator | lithium bank + EcoFlow Delta Pro
COMFORT: air conditioning in all FOUR cabins | Webasto diesel heating | washing machine | full galley with oven, fridge & freezer | owner's cabin with dedicated head and separate shower | dedicated forepeak sail locker cabin — huge stowage for sails, fenders and gear
SAILING & DECK: Code Zero + gennaker (asymmetric spinnaker) | electric winches with manual override | CARBON steering wheels | davits + tender with Suzuki DF6AS outboard | Sleipner bow thruster (serviced 2026)
NAVIGATION: full GARMIN package — Garmin radar, Garmin chartplotter/navigation and Garmin instruments | AIS transceiver | autopilot | Starlink internet

CARE: full winter cover for the ENTIRE boat (included) — the yacht has been completely covered every single winter. It shows.

Engine: Yanmar 4JH4-HTE 110 hp — only 1,400 hrs total: just ~600 hrs up to 2025, the balance added during the recent 2025/26 Mediterranean season. The boat is actively sailed, all systems in daily use — not a marina queen. Sails original (well kept). Full service history — maintained regardless of cost by the sole owner.

Winter 2026/27 service program at Marmaris (incl. new coachroof windows).
Viewing: Kuşadası / Aegean now; Bodrum from mid-September, Marmaris from November. Serious inquiries — survey welcome.
