Bavaria Cruiser 46

Main Description
2023 Bavaria Cruiser 46. Excellent condition. Available immediately
Designed by Farr Yacht Design and named European Yacht of the Year in 2015, the Bavaria Cruiser 46 remains one of the most enduringly popular bluewater cruising yachts on the market and for good reason. At 13.89m LOA with a 4.34m beam and a generous 2.08m cabin headroom, she delivers an exceptional sense of space both on deck and below, with ease of handling at the heart of her design. MIRKA is a well-specced 2023 example in excellent condition, available immediately in Split, Croatia, and offered with a walkthrough video on request.
One of the Cruiser 46's most distinctive features is her flexible forward cabin arrangement: a removable dividing wall transforms what can be a single, exceptionally spacious owner's suite with separate shower and bathroom into two independent double guest cabins, a rare and practical feature that makes this yacht equally suitable for private family use or skippered charter. Two further aft double cabins each have their own ensuite bathroom. Power comes from a Volvo Penta D2-50 51hp sail-drive engine with approximately 1,600 hours. The rigging is configured for ease of single-handed or short-handed sailing, with an in-mast furling Elvstrom mainsail and furling genoa. The cockpit is teak throughout, with cushions, hot and cold shower, a folding teak bathing platform, and passerelle.

Broker Comments: MIRKA is a very well-equipped example of one of the most trusted cruising yachts in her class, offering a level of specification, with air-conditioning, bow thruster, solar, and a full Raymarine electronics suite, that makes her genuinely ready to cruise from the moment of purchase. Her flexible cabin layout is a real standout, offering private owners and charter operators alike a versatility that few boats in this size range can match. VAT is not yet paid, which may suit buyers who intend to operate her commercially or register her appropriately. A walkthrough video is available, and a personal viewing is warmly encouraged.
