First strokes: Bavaria Cruiser 34 off Heiligenhafen
The new little one from Giebelstadt is a derivative of the popular Cruiser 33. The 34 comes with two wheels and two aft cabins

Two steering wheels are now standard on yachts under the ten metre mark. Bavaria followed suit and rebuilt the smallest model, the Cruiser 33. More importantly for the market, the new boat is available with two aft cabins. The previously spacious bathroom with shower area had to be cut back to make room for the cabin and its entrance.

The price is also new: the Cruiser 34 costs 102,340 euros including VAT with comparatively good basic equipment. The Cruiser 33 with one wheel and an aft cabin, which is around 12,500 euros cheaper, will remain in the programme, and there will also be a two-cabin version of the 34.

The new one is based on the proven hull and almost the same deck
