Bavaria 32 |
Brief details |
Builder |
Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH, Giebelstadt, Germany |
A modern family yacht
from Bavaria, with a wide range of options including choice of keels,
engines, etc. The yachts are popular both with private owners and
charter companies. Asking prices may vary considerably as although
the base price of a new Bavaria has always been low, adding various
options, such as deep keel, larger engine and teak decks can increase
the price significantly. Also, the fact that many boats will have
been used for charter can affect the amount of wear and tear they
have received. Although called the Bavaria 32, the yacht is actually
almost 34 feet in length. |

Bavaria Yachtbau, in southern Germany, have
been building yachts since 1973. Initially they built fairly
expensive yachts, in small numbers, but since the mid 1990s
have been concentrating on volume production of spacious family
cruising boats, that have proved equally popular with private
buyers and charter fleets.
In production from 2002 until 2005, the Bavaria 32 was designed
by J & J Designs, and offers typical Bavaria style in
a compact size. Modern Bavarias offer yachts with a very well
finished and 'woody' interior at very reasonable cost thanks
to a very highly developed mass production 'assembly line'
facility, currently turning out nearly 3,000 boats a year. |
