With the new BAVARIA C46, BAVARIA YACHTS presents the next generation of the C-LINE at the 2023 Yachting Festival in Cannes.

The BAVARIA C46 sets new standards in the combination of clever interior design, outstanding sailing qualities and innovative solutions.
The nomination by the international jury of the European Yacht of the Year Award for the 2024 European Yacht of the Year is a further confirmation of this completely new development.

Celebrate the world premiere of the BAVARIA C46 with us in Cannes from September 12th, at the Southampton Boat Show from September 15th, or at the Salone Nautico in Genoa from September 21st.

The essence of modern cruising.

With the new BAVARIA C46, BAVARIA YACHTS once again sets high standards in yacht building. The exceptionally good sailing characteristics already known from the entire C-LINE have been further optimized with a new rig-sail concept for the BAVARIA C46 for the pure joy of sailing. Single-handed or with crew, also in terms of deck layout, BAVARIA YACHTS has designed the BAVARIA C46 for easy handling. Below deck, the BAVARIA C46 surprises with numerous clever layout options.

For the pure joy of sailing

The BAVARIA C46 is full of clever details for maximum sailing pleasure and comfort on board. The exceptionally good sailing characteristics already known from the BAVARIA C-LINE have been further optimized with the new rig-sail concept on the BAVARIA C46 for the pure joy of sailing.

Welcome on board – Simply feel at home

In addition to modern design and high quality fittings, the clear goal in the development of the BAVARIA C46 was to guarantee owners and crew maximum privacy in the cabins for a relaxing time on board and to offer the greatest possible individualisation through a wide range of layout options.

Stars and premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival

While the BAVARIA C46 celebrates her world premiere among the sailing yachts in Port Canto, the new BAVARIA SR33 makes her French debut among the motor yachts in Vieux Port at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 12th to 17th. But these are not the only stars in their fleet that BAVARIA YACHTS will be presenting on the red carpet in Cannes. In Vieux Port, alongside the award-winning BAVARIA SR36, you will find the elegant BAVARIA R40 FLY and the sporty BAVARIY VIDA 33. In Port Canto, among the sailing yachts, visitors can expect the BAVARIA C50, C42 and C38 right next to the BAVARIA C46. You can schedule your personal viewing appointment here.

The latest premiere of the successful SR-LINE

With the BAVARIA SR33, BAVARIA YACHTS introduce another model of their successful SR-LINE for the 2023 season, following the SR41 and the SR36. As with all motor yachts of the BAVARIA SR-LINE, the focus during development was on creating space for life on deck. Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33 impresses with a well-thought-out room layout, providing generous space for four people.

Simply enjoying the sun and time with family & friends

Spending time as a couple or with friends is the main focus in the cockpit. Breakfast, dinner, or a small snack are quickly prepared at the large wet bar including a cooking plate, fridge and sink, and can be served directly at the large cockpit table. Flexible thanks to the fold‐down backrest of the sunbed at the stern, there is space for up to six people.

A well-thought-out room layout providing generous space

Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33’s concept offers plenty of light, plenty of space, four sleeping berths, a cabin and a large salon. The salon and the large bed in the bow merge to become a generous, loft‐like room. During the day, the BAVARIA SR33’s open room design with large hull windows and skylight provides light and a pleasant sense of space, no matter the weather. And if all guests would like to stay overnight, the salon table can be lowered to provide a further sleeping berth, so nothing gets in the way of cosy hours below deck, even for six people.

With the new BAVARIA C46, BAVARIA YACHTS announce an impressive addition to their C‐LINE sailing yachts for 2023. With the BAVARIA C38 and C42 already delighting their customers today, BAVARIA YACHTS is presenting the next evolution.

For the new BAVARIA C46, the C‐LINE concept has been further developed and re‐interpreted in all areas. For example, the characteristic features of the hull design with the typical BAVARIA V‐bow and chines, which not only give the BAVARIA C46 impressive sailing characteristics, but also create more light space and living comfort below deck in the saloon as well as the cabins. The BAVARIA C46 sets a new standard in its class and is a yacht that combines long‐standing BAVARIA strengths with new features, thus finding convincing solutions for many customers and requirements. BAVARIA YACHTS will present further details about the BAVARIA C46 early next year at boot 2023.

The BAVARIA C46 sets new standards in the combination of ample room, excellent sailing characteristics and innovative solutions. Like all C‐LINE models, the BAVARIA C46 was created in cooperation between the BAVARIA development team and Cossutti Yacht Design and offers a convincing combination for the most diverse requirements on board.

The BAVARIA C46 combines the typical generous BAVARIA space on board and the proven Made‐in‐Germany solidity with even more sailing performance and greater comfort on board. The distinctive chines at the stern and the BAVARIA V‐bow have already given the BAVARIA C38 and C42 exceptionally good and fast sailing characteristics.

Cossutti Yacht Design has again successfully applied this design philosophy to the 14.86 meters long and 4.70 meters wide hull of the BAVARIA C46. As a result, the BAVARIA C46 possesses agile steering, converts the wind even faster into boat speed and, at the same time, allows for maximally large cabins in the stern and foreship. Thus, space and sailing pleasure are a winning combination on the BAVARIA C46.

After the presentation of the C38 and C42, which was also named the 2021 European Yacht of the Year, our customers have very clearly signaled to us that they look forward to a quick continuation of the concept. Therefore, we have put all our energy into the further development of the concept and are now in a position to present our customers the BAVARIA C46 with its convincing solutions.

Whether relaxed and safe sailing with a small crew, single‐handed sailing or cruising with a large crew with sporting ambitions – the BAVARIA C46 offers all the necessary options for pure sailing pleasure with six optional winch positions, well over 100 square meters of sail area on the wind and optional Gennaker and Code 0.

From the very spacious cockpit, the sun loungers on the foredeck or after a relaxing time on the large bathing platform, you can quickly get into the water. Heavy but useful water sports equipment is always stored within reach in the BAVARIA B-BOX, so that the hours at anchor or in water can be enjoyed in a relaxed way by the entire crew.

Decades of experience on coastal and long‐distance cruises have shaped further smart options on board. Customers can choose from various layouts ranging from 3 to 5 cabins, including a 4‐cabin layout with 4 in‐suite heads or a 3‐cabin layout with an additional separate room at the companionway. This can be used, for example, as a storage and tool room or as a directly accessible locker for wet oilskins. A full navigation station is always on board with the BAVARIA C46.

The requirements for a sailing yacht around 15 meters are much more versatile today and can no longer simply be divided into classic categories such as performance or family cruiser, charter or owner’s yacht. During the development of the BAVARIA C46, the focus was solely on what offers our customers real added value on board. And when looking for the right solution, detail by detail, we were able to disprove supposed necessary compromises in many places. With the BAVARIA C46, we have found the balance that customers expect from a sailing yacht of this size with many well‐thought‐out solutions.
