Nikin is a 2004 Bavaria 44 Cruiser, three spreader, four-cabin sloop, with water maker and bow thruster, designed with true offshore capability and comfort in mind. A renowned model from Bavaria Yachts, she delivers a winning combination of sturdy German engineering, voluminous living space, and practical sailing features suited for both seasoned bluewater adventurers and liveaboard cruisers alike.

Nikin is well maintained and in excellent condition. She's a true "go-anywhere" vessel, with a well-balanced and manageable rig, shallow draft, and great deck layout. Nikin, with furling main and headsail, is ideal for short-handed sailing, prioritising ease of handling and onboard safety.

Accommodation includes a forward ensuite cabin, twin singles to port (can be used as a pantry/storage room), and two aft queen sized berths. Fans help keep cabins cool.
With in-mast furling, all lines led aft, stainless Rocna anchor and chain, and various spare parts, Nikin is well-equipped for immediate cruising. Whether you're planning coastal adventures or offshore, this capable and comfortable yacht can take you there.
