Bavaria, one of Germany's leading motorboat and sailing yacht shipyards, is opening up new ways to present its latest models. Instead of at the Düsseldorf boat show, interested parties can view the latest models directly at the shipyard's headquarters in Giebelstadt and at 17 dealers worldwide from 31 January to 2 February 2025. Registration for a visit to the boatyard or dealer is possible via a free online form.

Among the motorboats, the redesigned Vida should be of particular interest. The basic concept of the 10 metre day cruiser has not changed, but according to the shipyard the cockpit layout has been improved. In addition, the beds, which we also criticised during the test, have been enlarged to 2 m x 2.23 m and the movable bathing platform has been modified. There are also new drive variants with Suzuki outboard engines with up to 2 x 300 hp.

New type designations

There are also changes to the type designations. In order to adapt the boat identification numbers to the actual lengths, as has always been the case with Bavaria sailing yachts, the designations of the motorboats will change as follows: The Bavaria SR 33 becomes the SR 35 and the SR 36 becomes the SR 38, with minor changes as part of the model update, such as a flatter windscreen.

Anyone who is more interested in sailing yachts should take a look at the revised C 46. The model, which is particularly popular with charter customers, is now also available with a hardtop and thus offers more protection from the elements: sun in the Mediterranean and rain on the North and Baltic Seas. Surcharge for the open version: around 30,000 euros.
