Bavaria 40 Cruiser

The Bavaria 40 Cruiser is a spacious family cruiser from the German boat-building giant. With her large aft cockpit, sheltered behind an expansive sprayhood, the crew are well protected on deck and have plenty of space to relax when in port. Her slab-reefing mainsail, with single-line reefing and all lines led aft to the cockpit, makes for safe and easy handling under sail. Below decks, the master cabin is forward with an en-suite.

The large saloon is offset to starboard, with a linear galley to port and a dedicated nav station aft. Symmetrical port and starboard aft cabins provide plenty of room for guests, with a second heads aft. Purchased new by her current owners from the Scottish Bavaria Yachts agent in 2002 the Bavaria 40 Cruiser PAPAGENA has been based in Craobh Marina while her owners enjoyed cruising the waters of Scotlands West Coast.
