45 Years of Crafting Joy on the Water
Founded in 1978 in Giebelstadt, Germany, Bavaria Yachts has established itself as a global leader in series-produced sailing yachts and motorboats, combining Teutonic engineering with accessible pricing. Over 42,000 vessels have been built across its 200,000 m² facility, where 700 skilled workers blend craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Core Strengths
- Engineering Excellence:
Bavaria’s yachts utilize sandwich construction with foam cores and isophthalic acid resins to prevent osmosis, ensuring durability in hulls and decks. Aluminum reinforcements at stress points enhance structural integrity, while CAD/CAM software and custom CNC systems achieve millimeter precision in fittings and hatches. - Diverse Portfolio:
- Sailing Yachts: The C-LINE (cruising) and CRUISER LINE (performance) series offer customizable layouts, teak/mahogany interiors, and advanced rigging.
- Motorboats: Ranges like R-LINE (12.65–17.95m) and S-LINE (8.76–13.83m) feature Volvo Penta IPS drives, reducing fuel consumption by 30% and emissions by 30% while boosting speed and range.
Sustainability & Innovation
- Eco-Friendly Propulsion: Partnerships with Volvo Penta and MerCruiser integrate hybrid-ready systems, including IPS pod drives with joystick docking for simplified operation.
- Material Efficiency: Vacuum-infused laminates and recyclable composites minimize waste during production.
Global Reach
With 600+ vessels produced annually, Bavaria serves enthusiasts worldwide through a network of dealers offering tailored configurations, maintenance, and training. Flagship models like the Bavaria C42 exemplify the brand’s balance of affordability (starting at €250,000) and premium features such as ergonomic cockpits and solar-ready electrical systems.
