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.

A SUPER YACHT CATAMARAN THAT REDEFINES THE CODES OF LUXURY

Relaxation and High-end Features

Both the forward and aft cockpits enjoy large reception and relaxation areas, with double direct access to the saloon. The cabins, true suites and guest rooms, have been designed in the spirit of great yachts, with unostentatious luxury, and finished down to the finest detail, with leather upholstery and furniture featuring wood and leather trim. The bathrooms are reminiscent of a spa and include a Jacuzzi in the owner’s cabin.

The saloon, with its large sliding glass windows, has intuitive circulation. As on deck, it is organised around a lounge, a bar, a chart table area with a wonderful separate desk where leather upholstery and topstitching are again to be found. Cabin, dressing room, bathroom… everything you’d expect in the world of motor yachts.

Original deck ergonomics

While retaining the Fountaine Pajot signature, the new 80 is a genuine super yacht with new and original spaces that you won’t find on other models of this size.

Exclusive new features include:

• Two side cockpits with opening wings,
• A Beach Club that’s 100% overlooking the sea to make the most of the anchorages,
• Storage spaces have been designed for all the toys, including forward lockers for paddleboards or scuba gear, and at the stern, a specific storage area for a water scooter under the large central bench seat.

Elegance and FP DNA

In true Fountaine Pajot style, you’ll find the line of the coachroof and the large windows giving an exceptional view of the sea, thanks to the glazed areas descending lower than the deck edge. The flybridge offers a magnificent area with dedicated relaxation, reception and navigation areas. The twin helm stations have been re-centred, with a winch for sailing manoeuvres positioned away from the relaxation areas. A real work area is thus reserved and protected for the crew.

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.

CEO of BAVARIA YACHTS
Marc Diening

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.

CEO of BAVARIA YACHTS
Marc Diening

In the first half of 2023, the BAVARIA C46 will do her first test sails. Further details about the BAVARIA C46 will be presented at boot 2023 in Duesseldorf from January 21 to 29.

It was thrilling until the very last moment: 34 finalists were nominated for the 2022 Motor Boat Awards by the renowned British Motor Boat & Yachting magazine.

But the jury’s decision was clear: In the category of sportscruisers up to 45 feet, the BAVARIA SR41 is the Motor Boat of the Year 2022.
We are of course very proud!

Winning this important award for the yachting industry shows that we have taken the right path with the BAVARIA SR-LINE. Now we are preparing our new BAVARIA SR36 to impress even more customers and of course, we hope for further awards for the boats of our SR-LINE.

A big thank you goes out to the jury of Motor Boat & Yachting, our designer Marco Casali, the whole development team of BAVARIA YACHTS and the team of Clipper Marine, who made the decisive test of the SR41 by the Motor Boat & Yachting jury possible.

BAVARIA YACHTS is adding another model to its successful SR range. The BAVARIA SR36 will make its debut at the boot 2022 in January. An intelligent space concept and a sporty, elegant design, in combination with extremely safe handling characteristics make the BAVARIA SR36 unique and made for perfect days on the ocean with family and friends.

After the BAVARIA SR41, the BAVARIA SR36 will celebrate its world premiere in January at the boot 2022 in Dusseldorf. Together with the BAVARIA development team, the Italian designer Marco Casali drew up the sporty, elegant lines of the motor yacht, which is 11.68m long and 3.89m wide and boasts a bathing platform as standard. Particularly striking are the sweeping hull shape, large window areas in the superstructure and plenty of space on the bow and stern.

“The BAVARIA SR36 is the continuation of our new SR Line. The BAVARIA SR41’s great success confirmed to us that we understand our customers’ desires and are able to successfully implement them. With our new concepts, we can offer our customers a new attitude to life on board, as well as the advantages they have always expected from a BAVARIA product. With the BAVARIA SR36, we are taking another step in the development of the SR range, and customers will be impressed with the clever optimised solutions,” explains Marc Diening, CEO BAVARIA YACHTS.

The BAVARIA SR36 shows creativity in the design of the cockpit and superstructure, since life on modern motor yachts takes place primarily on deck and in the cockpit. Alongside the classic hardtop version, which can be optionally closed with a door, the BAVARIA SR36 is also available as an open version, with a low windscreen. The hardtop roof becomes a stable Bimini with a sunroof. Or simply BAVARIA Open Top, as BAVARIA YACHTS calls it. “The new Open Top version combines the comfort of a hard top with the sporty appeal and handling sensation of an open yacht,” explains Marco Casali of this unique new concept.
Plenty of space on board the BAVARIA SR36 is provided by an intelligent floor plan, including below deck. Two generous cabins and an equally spacious lounge offer plenty of comfort and privacy for all guests on board.

“When designing the BAVARIA SR36, we deliberately started with the famous piece of blank paper. However, during the process we had a clear idea of the advantages of a BAVARIA yacht and the important design elements of the SR range which we wanted to reinterpret for the BAVARIA SR36. The entirety of the interior was recreated precisely as a model in our development studio, allowing us to get a real feeling for the space, alongside the 3D computer models,” says Norbert Leifeld, the product manager responsible for the development of the BAVARIA SR36 at BAVARIA YACHTS.

The BAVARIA development team is in the end phase of their work on the first prototype. The BAVARIA SR36 will then be presented to an international audience at the boot 2022 in Dusseldorf.

The media meeting will also be broadcasted live, starting at 3:00 pm CET.

Everyone, who would like to watch the announcement presented by Marc Diening at the media meeting, can do so via the livestream:

“And the Winner is…” was the motto for the BAVARIA C42 this Friday, January 22. She won the perhaps most important award in the yachting industry, the EUROPEAN YACHT OF THE YEAR AWARD.

You could almost call the BAVARIA C42 used to success. With the EUROPEAN YACHT OF THE YEAR AWARD, the BAVARIA C42 has already won its second award. It was just in December that the BAVARIA C42 was voted Yacht of the Year in France by VOILE magazine.

In the official statement, the EYOTY jury, consisting of 15 trade journalists from the 15 largest trade magazines in Europe, said:

Despite strong competitors, the victory of the C42 is convincing in the end. The Bavaria C42 impressed the jury with its high level of comfort and perfect sailing characteristics. It can be sailed fast in all conditions and is easy to control. The C42 also scored with a good price-performance ratio as well as four finishing options and numerous extras.

EYOTY jury
EUROPEAN YACHT OF THE YEAR AWARD

After six years, in 2015 it was the BAVARIA CRUISER 46, BAVARIA thus wins this great and important award again. And that is something we can all be proud of. We want to say thank you to our team and all of you for the great work that made this success happen!

Perfect sailing performance.

The BAVARIA C42 is the logical progression from the BAVARIA C-line, but has its own distinct character. A modern, innovative hull shape with chines and a V-shaped bow developed by BAVARIA YACHTS guarantee both the best sailing performance and an unusually large amount of space below deck.

The clever details that BAVARIA YACHTS is known for, both above and below deck, has been further refined in the BAVARIA C42, providing this unusual 12.38m long sailing yacht with the best of the newest innovations in yacht building.

More volume and more performance
thanks to chines and V-shaped bow

BAVARIA CHINES and BAVARIA V-shaped bow: These striking hull design characteristics not only give the BAVARIA C42 more space below deck, they also provide unusual good sailing performance. The BAVARIA CHINES ensure more stability, a longer waterline and therefore better performance and a more direct feeling when steering. But the prominent angle at the stern of the BAVARIA C42 has another advantage. It yields more space for the stern cabin, providing more comfort.

More space for the joy of sailing

When designing the deck layout, the BAVARIA YACHTS product management team concentrated their efforts on the essential characteristics in order to make space for an important aspect: the joy of sailing. The bow area and side deck provide an unusually large amount of space for a sailing yacht of this size.

The cockpit, with its ergonomically formed L-shaped seating bench, is also a space winner. That guarantees you a comfortable, fatigue-free seating position, whether you’re sailing close to the wind or enjoying a lavish lunch at the large cockpit table.

A new sense of space

The foredeck and side decks provide generous room for a sailing yacht of this size. The innovative hull design also opens up new dimensions below deck. Select from individual cabin layouts ranging from the luxurious 2-cabin version with a spacious bathroom
to the comfortable 3-cabin version with two bathrooms.

The U-shaped seating area at the starboard side and the portside lounge bench easily cater for eight people during a cozy dinner. As in classic layouts, the L-shaped pantry is located portside.

Lots of space for you and your guests

Thanks to the V-shaped bow and the large side windows, the bow cabin doesn’t simply appear spacious; when it comes to headroom and the space on offer, it’s close to unbeatable.

Owners can look forward to a real king size bed with a breadth of 1.8m and a length of 2.1m. Cupboards and abundant storage space go without saying.

Extra speed thanks to more sail area.

When developing the rigging and sail plan, the development team from BAVARIA YACHTS in collaboration with Cossutti Yacht Design focused on two aspects in particular: easy handling and above-average performance. 54 square meters of sail area for the mainsail and 47 square meters for the genoa sail provide the BAVARIA C42 with an extra portion of power from the wind.

While sailing with the wind abeam or running before the wind, a Code 0 sail (85 square meters) and a gennaker (140 square meters) ensure maximum speed. The self-tacking jib means the easiest of handling when tacking. What’s more, it’s included in the standard version of the BAVARIA C42. In order to be able to perfectly trim the two-spreader mast on all courses, a backstay and backstay tensioner are also included in the BAVARIA C42’s basic equipment.

The world premiere of the BAVARIA C42

The BAVARIA C42 is the logical progression from the BAVARIA C-line, but has its own distinct character. A modern, innovative hull shape with chines and a V-shaped bow developed by BAVARIA YACHTS guarantee both the best sailing performance and an unusually large amount of space below deck.

The BAVARIA CHINES ensure more stability, a longer waterline and therefore better performance and a more direct feeling when steering. But the prominent angle at the stern of the BAVARIA C42 has another advantage. It yields more space for the stern cabin, providing more comfort.

The BAVARIA V-shaped bow is narrow at the waterline and broadens towards the deck like a V. It was developed by Cossutti Yacht Design from Italy and BAVARIA YACHTS to grant more volume to the hull in the foreship. The additional volume in the bow ensures less trimming when heeling, despite the broad stern, ensuring a safer experience even in swell. And the forward cabin gives the V-shaped bow new dimensions. An iron keel with a ballast ratio of 2700kg and a total weight of just 9600kg supplies sufficient righting momentum.

The world premiere of the BAVARIA SR41

The BAVARIA SR41 kicks off a new line of motorboats from BAVARIA YACHTS. It combines the best of the sporty BAVARIA S-line and the BAVARIA R-line. A comfortable cockpit, a large sunbed which can be transformed in no time into a lounge area with a table right on the waterfront and a large bathing platform. It makes the BAVARIA SR41 the ideal motor yacht for a perfect day on the water with family and friends.

BAVARIA YACHTS gives the BAVARIA SR41 a new dimension with an intelligent cabin layout. The spacious owner’s cabin has its own bathroom, as do the guest cabins in the bow. Comfort and boating pleasure are the focuses of the new BAVARIA SR41. The BAVARIA SR41 is available as a soft top, hard top and coupe version.

Boating pleasure and dynamism

The BAVARIA SR41’s powerful drive is provided by the familiar Mercruiser petrol engines with twin 355HP (261 kW) in the standard version, up to D6 -380 diesel generators from the newest generation from Volvo Penta, with twin 380HP (279kW). This means that besides convincing boating pleasure, the BAVARIA SR41 also enjoys safety and economic efficiency.

Large hull windows which fit perfectly into the broad black hull stripe ensure plenty of daylight below deck. From the newly designed helmstand, you have full control over the BAVARIA SR41. All instruments within sight and perfect all-round visibility are, of course, included.

The design of the BAVARIA C50 is setting new standards in the 50-foot class of sailing yachts.

Following the successful launch of the BAVARIA C57 last season and the approaching world premieres of the BAVARIA C65 and BAVARIA C45, BAVARIA YACHTS now present the fourth sailing yacht of the new C-line, the new BAVARIA C50.

The BAVARIA C50 is another big step towards the kind of yachting we envisage. Fantastic, clear, unmistakable design and all the comfort and luxury of larger yachts, coupled with all the possibilities of tomorrow, such as ‘BAVARIA YACHTS iBoat connectivity. Experience our new yacht for yourself. C you in Düsseldorf at boot 2018.

CEO Bavaria Yachtbau

ELEGANT DESIGN FULL OF DYNAMISM

The design of the BAVARIA C50 is setting new standards in the 50-foot class of sailing yachts. The elegant smooth lines of the hull, which are highlighted by the large hull windows, reveal the dynamics of the BAVARIA C50 on the water. Together with the development team at BAVARIA, COSSUTTI YACHTS DESIGN developed these lines and design elements which are otherwise only seen in the world of superyachts.

Above deck on the BAVARIA C50 there are a number of elements that can otherwise only be found in superyachts. Sunken hatches that form part of a clever light and ventilation concept below deck. The structure and the tidy forecastle of the BAVARIA C50 emphasize the extended lines of the hull.

HOLIDAY, STYLE OR AMBITION

The BAVARIA C50 is available in three specifications: Holiday, Style or Ambition. Even in the basic version, the BAVARIA C50 is perfectly equipped and ready to sail immediately, as you would expect from BAVARIA YACHTS. From A for anchor windlass, to N for navigation instruments, through to S for sail and beyond, the yachts have category A certification which attests to the highest level of seaworthiness that a yacht can offer.

Perfect for owners with the highest of standards, the Style line offers additional features and design elements that make the BAVARIA C50 such a unique yacht. The special selection of woods and upholstery are also part of the BAVARIA C50 STYLE and afford the highest level of personalization.

Sporting design can be found in every detail of the BAVARIA C50 AMBITION. The black bowsprit in which the anchor is integrated is particularly distinctive. The gennaker butts up against it in front of the hull and allows the BAVARIA C50 AMBITION to achieve even more speed thanks to a better inflow. The black mast and boom and the wheels in a carbon design are just some of the many style elements of pure sporting design.

INTERIOR LAYOUTS FOR ALL REQUIREMENTS

The variety of layouts available in a BAVARIA C50 is almost limitless and ranges from the classic 3-cabin version to the 5-cabin version, plus the skipper cabin in the bow.

As soon as you enter the saloon, you are struck by the unique lighting concept on board the BAVARIA C50 and by its spacious luxury. On the port side the pantry leaves nothing to be desired and can cater to any size of crew dinner. Numerous work spaces and stowage areas make the pantry a pleasure to use, even at sea. The cooling options alone amount to 250 litres from the fridge to the freezer. And in the special wine cooler, there is space for more than twenty bottles of wine.

The navigation area on the starboard side is not just the central area for all navigational issues, it is also the control centre for all systems on board and, of course, a complete home office for anyone who can’t stay away from the office even on holiday.

Pure daylight shines through the large hull windows on to the large U-shaped corner seating area on the port side and the lounge area on the starboard side. Nothing stands in the way of a relaxed crew dinner or a relaxing evening with a good glass of wine.

Maximum comfort and luxury is to be found on board the BAVARIA C50, in all the cabin versions. At the same time, BAVARIA YACHTS has gone to great lengths to give both cabins an individual design. Whilst the guest cabins on the port side have a true king size bed, two separate berths on the starboard side ensure privacy.

The owner’s cabin in the bow of the BAVARIA C50 can really be called a suite. A queen size bed, a dressing table, a separate shower and bath and, of course, lots of stowage room for personal effects are all just a matter of course for BAVARIA YACHTS when they fit out a yacht of this size.

In the 3-cabin version, each cabin naturally has its own bathroom. In addition, there is a separate shower for guests which can also be ordered as a cabinet. In the 4-cabin version there are two more large cabins in the bow.

A fifth cabin with bunk beds can be situated in the saloon, if required. As an optional extra, there is also a separate cabin with its own toilet for the skipper in the prow.

SAIL FAST BUT RELAXED

Maurizio Cossutti and Alessandro Ganz from COSSUTTI YACHTS DESIGN guarantee the best sailing performance and reliable handling in the 15.55 metre-long BAVARIA C50. The Italian yacht building team is known in the sailing scene for their fast and elegant sailing yachts.

The deck layout of the BAVARIA C50 is designed for fast and relaxed sailing. With two winches on each of the port and starboard sides on the helmstands, the sails can be easily set and retrieved in all conditions and, of course, trimmed. From the helmstand, the helmsman always has the BAVARIA C50, all the instruments and the sail in sight. Turning with the self-tacking jib is child’s play and allows the BAVARIA C50 to be controlled with just one hand.

THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO RELAXATION

On board the BAVARIA C50, relaxation is very much at the forefront, along with the joy of sailing. Behind the large bathing platform there is a dinghy garage and stowage space for everything needed for diving or snorkelling.

The cockpit with its two tables is the ideal spot for sunbathing or for the perfect lunch prepared on the BBQ grill in the cockpit with its own wetbar.

More sun and lounge areas can be found on the structure and on the forecastle. So nothing stands in the way of a relaxing stay in a sheltered bay or in port.

BAVARIA YACHTS is set to surprise everyone at boot Düsseldorf with a new 45-foot sailing yacht from the C-line

BAVARIA YACHTS will be opening the upcoming boot Düsseldorf (20 to 28 January) with an explosion of world premieres. Among the premieres are: The new BAVARIA C45. A 13.98-metre-long sailing yacht with superyacht character and a wide range of features usually only found in much bigger yachts. A BBQ grill with wetbar in the cockpit, space for the dinghy in the stern and, along with the classic 3 and 4 cabin version, the option to order a 5-cabin version are just three of a long list of innovative new features in this size of boat.

When we designed the BAVARIA C45, we wanted to create a yacht which people would feel completely at home on – with features like the huge bathing platform, big cockpit and bright saloon – and also a yacht of the utmost flexibility. There are therefore three versions: ‘Holiday’, ‘Style’ and ‘Ambition’.

Lutz Henkel
CEO Bavaria Yachtbau

Design in the style of the superyachts

With the design of the BAVARIA C45, BAVARIA YACHTS is offering a brand new approach to sailing yachts of around 45 foot. In silhouette the BAVARIA C45 looks like a superyacht thanks to the extended hull with its three large windows, and the slimline appearance of the structure created by the long band of windows. And the BAVARIA C45 doesn’t lag behind the superyachts when it comes to stylish details either. All the hatches that are part of the clever lighting and ventilation concept of the BAVARIA C45 are sunk into the deck. The deck and structure are all level areas without steps or edges, just like on an actual superyacht.

Sailing and/or relaxing

In the cockpit, a clear separation is made between relaxation and the joy of sailing. Anyone wanting to enjoy some sunbathing can do this in the large cockpit. Along with its two large reclining areas, this is also the best place to enjoy lunch at the two large tables or to enjoy a BBQ from the grill right at the stern of the BAVARIA C45.

The BAVARIA C45 is trimmed and steered from the two helmstations at the rear of the cockpit. The sails are set by the four windlasses situated right next to the two wheels and can be trimmed easily and precisely at any moment. From the two steering columns, the helmsman has the perfect overview of the sails, all navigational instruments and, of course, the BAVARIA C45 itself.

As a world first on a 45-foot sailing yacht, BAVARIA YACHTS provides space for the dinghy in the stern. At the touch of a hand, the dinghy disappears over the bathing platform in the stern ready for sailing. As a result, it doesn’t impact space in the forecastle. If a dinghy isn’t required, then the dinghy storage space is the perfect stowage for diving gear and other sporting equipment.

Performance and easy handling

The lines and the design of the BAVARIA C45 have been created by Cossutti Yacht Design in Italy. Maurizio Cossutti and his partner Allessandro Ganz have poured their collective experience gained from regatta and cruising yachts into the new BAVARIA C45. That means that the BAVARIA C45 can boast an unbelievably good sailing performance and an enormous speed potential from the moment it leaves the shipyard. The BAVARIA C45 jumps at the lightest breath of wind and can be sailed reliably and fast even under harsh conditions.

It was always important to the BAVARIA YACHTS development team that the BAVARIA C45 is easy to sail and not just fast. The self-tacking jib guarantees quick and precise turns. A large gennaker, which can be easily set and retrieved by a furler, ensures fast sailing with following winds. At the wheel, the helmsman can feel the boat’s performance in his fingertips thanks to the perfectly balanced rudder blade. The BAVARIA C45 obeys every rudder movement perfectly, both under sail and when manoeuvring in port.

Holiday, Style or Ambition

The concept of different specification lines that was introduced in the BAVARIA C57, has been expanded for the BAVARIA C45 to include a sporty variant. With everything you need, both inside and out, the BAVARIA C45 HOLIDAY is primed for long cruises right from the very first day of sailing. At BAVARIA YACHTS standard equipment means that everything a skipper and his crew need is already on board and included in the basic price. From the anchor windlass, to the sails, right through to the navigation instruments. The BAVARIA C45 STYLE impresses with its exquisite woods and highest quality materials in all the details on board. A sporty design and optimum sailing performance is what the BAVARIA C45 Ambition promises. She has everything you need for fast sailing without losing out on anything. One ingenious solution is the open stern which means that you don’t have to do without a bathing platform.

3 or 4, or even 5 cabins?

The options offered by the layout below deck on the BAVARIA C45 cannot be beaten. As well as the classic 3-cabin version, which has an owner’s cabin that is extremely generous for its class and boasts a bath and shower in the bow, and the two equally generous guest cabins in the stern, the BAVARIA C45 can also be ordered in a 4-cabin version. Two spacious cabins in the bow, which have their own bathroom and a separate shower in the saloon, provide perfect luxury for eight people on the 13,98-metre-long BAVARIA C45. And in a revolutionary step for 45-foot sailing yachts, the BAVARIA C45 can also have a fifth cabin with two bunk beds, if required.

All the cabin versions have the same bright and airy saloon with space for large crews to sit down to a big dinner at the U-shaped table on the port side, and for relaxing on the lounge sofa on the starboard side. Food is prepared and cooked and drinks are mixed in the L-shaped pantry which is always tidy. Numerous stowage compartment and especially the large fridges provide ample space for provision.

State-of-the-art technology above and below deck

On the BAVARIA C45, the navigation and the onboard electronic system on the large displays are visible at all times, and what’s more they can also be handled quickly and manageably. Digital switching is the buzzword and was developed by the electronics manufacturers B&G and Naviop in collaboration with the development team at Bavaria. All equipment and electrical circuits on board can be controlled and monitored via a touch panel. The fill levels for the fuel, water and waste water tanks and the charge level of the batteries are checked by tapping on the display. And all of this comes as standard in the BAVARIA C45. It could hardly be more innovative.

Sturdy hulls and top quality

The deck and the hull of the BAVARIA C45 are built in a technically sophisticated and state-of-the-art vacuum infusion process. This guarantees that the hulls are extremely sturdy with less weight. The engineers from BAVARIA YACHTS have refined this process for series production yachts and have christened it VACUTEC. Since 2016 all new developments at BAVARIA YACHTS are built using this process.

BAVARIA C65 – The largest yacht ever built by the shipyard

The BAVARIA C65 is the new flagship of the BAVARIA YACHTS fleet of sailing yachts and, following the successful presentation of the yacht this spring, is the next logical step in the expansion of the BAVARIA C-Line.

With the BAVARIA C65, BAVARIA YACHTS brings fresh impetus to the booming market segment of sailing yachts between 55 and 75 feet. The BAVARIA C65 impresses both on and below deck thanks to its elegant and modern design. BAVARIA YACHTS offers a high level of customisation with numerous different layout options available below deck for the owner to choose from.

It is the largest yacht ever built by BAVARIA YACHTS. Production of the new yacht has already begun. The first sea trials are planned for the autumn.

The BAVARIA C65 is a masterpiece in design, engineering and technology. She was designed for sailors who place high expectations on their yacht. Her fast and reliable sailing performance is impressive. Even on long trips, the BAVARIA C65 can be sailed with very small crews or even single-handedly. It is classed as a fast cruiser and is also the perfect yacht for blue water sailing. From Cannes to Nice, or from Hamburg to the Caribbean, the BAVARIA C65 opens up every sea to its owners.

The clear line of its hull, its flat wide deck and its sporty rigging define the design of the BAVARIA C65. The large windows in the hull fit elegantly into the line of the hull lending even more dynamism to its length. The dynamic lines of the C65 support the flat design with its narrow strip of windows running from the mast to the cockpit support. The large XXL bathing platform in the stern plays host to the dinghy garage and provides the ideal location for bathing, preparing for a thrilling dive, or enjoying some sunbathing. There is easily enough room in the dinghy garage for a jet tender and other equipment.

A glance at the technical specifications for the C65 immediately reveals the perfect balance between elegant design, a generous amount of space, a high level of reliability at sea, and fast sailing capabilities. At 19.45 metres in length and with a breadth of 5.40 metres the C65 has a very streamlined appearance. But below deck, it’s quite a different story. Whether in the 3-cabin or 4-cabin version, with the skipper cabin in the forecastle, the BAVARIA C65 is unbelievably luxurious when it comes to space.

BAVARIA YACHTS’ vision is to build the best yachts in their class. The BAVARIA C65 was developed with exactly this vision in mind. The designers, engineers and boat builders challenged this vision again and again at each development stage until they found the best solutions.
