HISTORY
This Bavaria 40 Ocean has been privately owned and cruised primarily in the Mediterranean. She was recently refitted with a new deck (Permateak, April 2024), new sails, and rigging checked. The generator has very low hours and adds self-sufficiency for off-grid cruising. Regular maintenance and recent upgrades make her a solid and dependable yacht for her next owners.
