The Bavaria 31 Cruiser is a brilliant, pocket-cruiser. Engineered by the renowned J&J Design team, this yacht feels remarkably like a 34-foot cruiser, offering an unmatched blend of expansive interior volume, 1.82m standing headroom, and family-friendly comfort. Above deck, short-handed sailing is a breeze with all lines led safely aft to the deep, secure cockpit, . Below deck, the light-filled, warm mahogany interior accommodates up to six guests across two private double cabins and a convertible saloon, complete with a L-shaped galley, a dedicated navigation station, and a spacious head with a built-in wet locker. Powered by a reliable and highly efficient Volvo Penta D1-20 diesel engine, this CE Category A (Ocean) rated cruiser is the ultimate turn-key choice.
This example, built in 2007 has benefited from significant investment over the last few years, with substantial expenditure on upgrades, improvements and maintenance. She has been exceptionally well cared for, with ongoing attention to both her systems and overall condition, making her a well-equipped and thoroughly maintained example of this popular model.
