Broker's Comments
Boatshed Wales is delighted to offer for sale this Bavaria 38 Cruiser.
The Bavaria 38 combines well regarded sailing performance with impressive interior comfort. Step inside and the accommodation feels more reflective of a much larger yacht. She offers three generous private double cabins, each with ample storage for personal items and cruising gear. The spacious saloon provides a comfortable social area and includes an independent navigation station, alongside a large linear galley equipped with all the essential features for extended cruising and time aboard.
This particular example benefits from the rare combination of light but consistent use and methodical maintenance. With modern navigational aids, a conscientiously maintained engine, and an interior that clearly reflects her careful ownership, she presents as a very smart example of this popular cruising yacht.
For anyone seeking a sub-40-foot yacht capable of comfortable liveaboard cruising, local sailing, or covering some serious miles, this Bavaria 38 is certainly well worth a look.
Currently afloat but due to be lifted shortly for annual servicing and maintenance, she will soon be fully prepared for sale and ready for the summer season ahead.
All enquiries and viewing requests are warmly welcomed.
