Experience the Ocean differently... This centre cockpit cruiser blends classic craftsmanship with modern bluewater capability. A distinctly different model to the standard Bavaria 44 Cruiser, the Ocean 44 is designed for different purposes and features significant design differences, particularly in the cockpit and interior layout, as well as construction details.

Comparable to some premium bluewater centre cockpit yachts, this German designed and engineered yacht is in exceptional condition with modern navigation equipment, Starlink, Hydrovane, near-new sails, and perfect presentation. If you're looking for true offshore autonomy, look no further. 'Pacific Wind' is for sailors who crave adventure and comfort in equal measure.

(Everything on 230v goes on the inverter through the isolation transformer. There is no separate shore power connection. )

Remarks
This is a solidly built German-built centre cockpit cruiser with a luxurious interior and impressively upgraded systems. Purchased in Sweden in 2018, the current (third) owners have been full time liveaboard cruisers since 2022. The original Owner from Netherlands used her very little. She was sold to a Swede who also didn't use her much. The current owners added the electric furling genoa winch and other modifications (See Ships Log).
Owners love the large aft cabin and comfortable bed, the solar array and redundancy power with luxury appliances such as water maker, heater and washing machine. They love how easy she handles under power with dual bow and stern thrusters, and how easy it is to sail her single handed with the ability to reef made easy with electric furling genoa. The large davits arch is great for storage and the additional cockpit covers allow for full protection from the elements when needed.
Antifoul and polish completed at The Boatworks - Nov 2025.
