Bavaria Yachtbau is launching a new cruising boat in the popular ten-metre class to complement the entry-level 33 Cruiser model

The 34 Cruiser is based on the hull of the successful 33 Cruiser. However, the new model has double wheels, as is now standard in this size. The innovation is a modified cockpit. And the backstay wires are now attached in front of the helmsman, out of his way. The 34 Cruiser is also a three-cabin boat with almost identical aft compartments. However, the bathroom had to be reduced in size, which on the 33 Cruiser is beautifully spacious. It is not yet clear whether the 34 Cruiser will also be available with two cabins, nor is there an official price for the new boat. The 33 Cruiser costs 89,800 euros, making it the most affordable boat in its class on the market (see also the ten-metre class comparison test in YACHT 16 and 17/2015.
