This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a ONE-OWNER 3-Cabin Bavaria 40 Cruiser. She has a great specification and includes numerous upgrades, including new permateak to the cockpit and sidedecks in 2020, new mast and standing rigging in 2021, re-upholstered internally in Alcantara, upgraded engine and many other items. Sadly only for sale now due to ill-health. She has been much enjoyed by this family, who will be very sad to see her go...

Broker Comments
This is a great opportunity to acquire a one-owner from new Bavaria 40 Cruiser, with a great spec, in great order and with many upgrades! Her comprehensive spec includes a new mast and standing rigging just 5 years ago, along with a full re-upholster in Alcantara, new Permateak decking in 2020 and a host of other things as listed in the full specification. She is well presented, been cared for and only now sadly available due to health reasons. Please Contact us here at Ancasta Plymouth for more details and to arrange a viewing!
