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.
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.
Bavaria Yachtbau is a renowned German boatyard based in Giebelstadt, near Würzburg. The company was founded in 1978 by Winfried Herrmann and has since developed into the largest shipyard in Germany. The shipyard produces hundreds of motor and sailing yachts every year on a production area of around 70,000 square metres.
Bavaria Yachtbau relies on state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and industrial production at the highest level. The shipyard exports 85% of its production and has firmly established itself on the world market. Since 2000, Bavaria has been producing motorboats as well as sailing yachts. The company attaches great importance to innovation and quality. It has its own test centre and relies on German engineering.
