Bavaria, one of Germany's leading motorboat and sailing yacht shipyards, is breaking new ground. Instead of at the Düsseldorf boat show, Bavaria will be presenting its latest models from 31 January to 2 February 2025 at the shipyard's headquarters in Giebelstadt and at 17 dealers worldwide. Friends of the brand can use an online form to register free of charge for a visit to the boatyard or dealer.

Among the motorboats, the redesigned Vida should be particularly interesting. The basic concept of the 10 metre day cruiser has not changed, but according to the shipyard the cockpit layout has been improved. In addition, the beds, which we also criticised during the test, have been enlarged to 2 m x 2.23 m and the movable bathing platform has been modified. There are also new drive variants with Suzuki outboard engines with up to 2 x 300 hp.

New type designations

There are also changes to the type designations. In order to adapt the boat identification numbers to the actual lengths, as has always been the case with Bavaria sailing yachts, the designations of the motorboats will change as follows: The Bavaria SR 33 becomes the SR 35 and the SR 36 becomes the SR 38, with minor changes as part of the model update, such as a flatter windscreen.

Anyone who is more interested in sailing yachts should take a look at the revised C 46. The model, which is particularly popular with charter customers, is now also available with a hardtop and thus offers more protection from the elements: sun in the Mediterranean and rain on the North and Baltic Seas. Surcharge for the open version: around 30,000 euros.

Information about the shipyard

The shipyard exports 85% of its production and has firmly established itself on the world market. Since 2000, Bavaria has been producing motorboats as well as sailing yachts.
