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.
Latest upgrades include new: water heater, dual sensor gas monitor, dodger and bimini, full river batteries, victron solar panels, bow rollers and removable cushion cover protectors. The standing rigging was renewed in 2017. Energy needs are covered by new batteries and a robust 320watt solar array mounted on a stainless steel stern frame.
The cockpit is generously proportioned with twin helm stations, a central table, and integrated Raymarine chartplotter with AIS. A sugar scoop aft provides easy access to the water with hot and cold shower, BBQ and stainless outboard crane. Below deck, the layout is warm and practical. The saloon offers a spacious dinette with extensive storage, complemented by a full-length galley, chart table, and ample natural ventilation. 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.
