Bavaria 42-3 for sale – comfortable sailing in style and space
For sale, an excellently maintained Bavaria 42-3 from 2000, a spacious and stable sailing yacht that offers both comfort and sailing pleasure. With a length of 12.95 meters and a width of 3.95 meters, this sailing yacht has a round bilge hull that guarantees stability and seaworthiness, ideal for trips on the North Sea, Wadden Sea, or inland waters.
The outer deck and the cockpit are spacious. A comfortable large steering wheel, generous benches, and a teak cockpit table invite relaxed sailing or cozy moments with family and friends. The yacht features a swimming platform with a swimming ladder, electric windlass, and a 20 kg Rocna anchor with 35 meters of chain. The teak deck in the cockpit (2023) provides extra luxury, while the self-draining cockpit ensures convenience and safety.
Inside, the Bavaria 42-3 offers a light and functional layout with 200 cm headroom. The saloon has a cozy seating area and dining area, three cabins with fixed berths for six people and extra berths for four guests. The interior exudes warmth with classic wooden finishes and renewed yellow/brown upholstery (2022). The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, oven and electric refrigerator, and comfort is enhanced by the Webasto hot-air heating system. Two manual toilets and an indoor shower make longer stays on board very comfortable, even with guests on board.
