BAVARIA 50 1999 FOR SALE

Some sailing yachts are enjoyed for the pure sensation of sailing, while others make sailing itself become a way of travelling. This 1999 Bavaria 50 clearly belongs to the latter group. Her large saloon, spacious cabins, storage capacity and deck conceived for extended stays make it easy to imagine weeks cruising between islands, nights at anchor and mornings waking up off a different coastline without constantly needing to return to harbour.

This boat also has a history of private use, has never been used for charter and is currently kept in fresh water. She is equipped with a Volvo Penta TMD22, shaft drive, solar panels, complete galley, washer-dryer, electric winches and extensive cruising equipment. She is a sailing yacht for anyone looking for space, autonomy and that particular freedom of knowing that the next destination depends much more on the wind and the desire to keep sailing than on the calendar.

About this Bavaria 50

Built in 1999, this Bavaria 50 is an ocean-cruising sailing yacht with CE Category A and a length close to fifteen metres. Her concept prioritises accommodation, storage capacity and autonomy, making her a particularly suitable platform for extended periods on board.

The boat is powered by one Volvo Penta TMD22 producing 57.5 hp, with shaft drive and an auxiliary outboard engine installed on a stainless-steel bracket at the stern. The electrical system is complemented by solar panels and a 220 V installation designed to make life aboard easier during longer stays.

Her exclusively private use, previous Spanish registration on List 7 and current Polish flag within the European Union are confirmed.

Why this boat stands out

What makes this Bavaria 50 especially interesting is her ability to become a genuine travelling platform. Her length, beam and interior volume provide a very large saloon, numerous storage spaces and a galley prepared for extended stays, while the solar panels, washer-dryer and exterior equipment reinforce her autonomy.

Her exclusively private use and current fresh-water environment are also relevant points when assessing a boat of this age. It is precisely the combination of space, mechanical simplicity and cruising equipment that keeps this Bavaria especially interesting for anyone who wants to spend substantial time sailing and living aboard.

Fontnautic opinion

For Fontnautic, a Bavaria 50 of this generation makes sense for someone who sees a sailing yacht as more than a boat for a few hours on the water. Her real value lies in the ability to carry provisions, organise life on board and plan weeks or months of cruising with a level of autonomy that is difficult to achieve on smaller boats.

We particularly like the simplicity of the Volvo Penta with shaft drive, the support provided by the solar panels and the amount of domestic equipment incorporated. These are elements that speak of a boat prepared to be lived aboard, not simply visited at weekends.

For anyone looking for a spacious, privately used ocean-going sailing yacht designed for extended stays, we believe this boat can be especially attractive once her interior configuration has been definitively confirmed.
