BAVARIA 40 OCEAN CENTRE COCKPIT

This yacht presents in excellent condition, very well equipped, never chartered and in the same ownership from new. The centre cockpit design allows for fantastic accommodation making the Bavaria 40 Ocean a sought after yacht for live-aboard cruising in comfort.

A well maintained yacht that benefits from recent upgrades of equipment such as three bladed folding propeller and replacement sail drive seal. She has practical additions, such as the davits for the dinghy and a very large capacity domestic battery bank and management system. She is an attractive yacht with the fixed screen shielding the cockpit.

On descending the companionway steps you enter the saloon with the nav area and chart table set to starboard. Aft of this is the very generously sized heads compartment, with separate shower stall and you are able to walk through to the aft cabin. Opposite this to port the practical and spacious galley occupies the other walkthrough to the aft cabin, there is also excellent access to the well maintained engine here. The aft cabin itself is extremely roomy with its centreline double berth and good stowage which is what makes these yachts a popular choice for living aboard in comfort.

The saloon has a straight settee to starboard and ‘U’ shaped seating around the saloon table to port. Forward of this is the guest double cabin. There is excellent stowage throughout the yacht and she is well equipped for extended live-aboard cruising.
