2003 Bavaria 38 Cruiser Privately Owned, Meticulously Maintained & Fully Equipped

A well-maintained, extensively equipped Bavaria 38 Cruiser, ready for her next adventure. VAT/Tax paid and ready for sailing in the Med and EU.

If you're looking for a comfortable, capable cruising yacht with a proven design, classic interior and an impressive inventory of equipment, Dali IV is well worth viewing.

This 2003 Bavaria 38 Cruiser has been privately owned and never used as a charter boat. She has been carefully maintained throughout her ownership, with detailed maintenance records and documentation available. She is fully equipped for comfortable cruising and comes with an extensive collection of spares, tools and extras.

The Bavaria 38 is a popular cruising design, offering a good balance of sailing performance, comfort and practical living space. Her warm, traditional wooden interior gives her a welcoming feel, while the three-cabin layout makes her well suited to couples, families or hosting guests.
