S/V Kunomoya is a Nanny Cay, Virgin Islands (British) based 2015 Bavaria 46 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

Originally launched into the Horizon Yacht Charters fleet, this 2015 Bavaria owner’s version was purchased by the current owners in 2022 and has since served as both a comfortable liveaboard home and a capable family cruiser.

The accommodation is centered around an impressive three-cabin, three-head owner’s layout, highlighted by the enormous forward owner’s suite. The two aft guest cabins each have their own private ensuite, making the layout particularly well suited to families and visiting guests.

The bright saloon offers generous seating, a large dining area, and excellent storage throughout. Having lived aboard with two children, the owners found there was more than enough room for comfortable family life, while the three separate heads gave everyone their own space.

Under sail, she is beautifully balanced and easy to handle. The in-mast furling mainsail and cockpit-led controls make short-handed sailing straightforward, while the Volvo Penta D2-55 delivers comfortable cruising speeds of 6–7 knots.

At anchor or alongside, the manual fold-down transom transforms the cockpit into a spacious outdoor living area, complemented by teak seating, a drop-leaf cockpit table, and wide side decks.

A much-loved family boat with a successful charter history, she is now ready to begin her next chapter with new owners. Changing circumstances have prompted the sale, and her owners will be sad to see her go.

Owners comments and boat history

  • The boat began her life as a successful charter yacht with Horizon Yacht Charters. In 2022, she was purchased by the current owners and has since been enjoyed as a liveaboard and weekend cruiser. More recently, the owners' circumstances have changed, prompting the decision to sell.
  • We fell in love with the layout, particularly the enormous forward owner's cabin. Although we do not have the partition installed, the space can easily be configured as two separate cabins, offering incredible flexibility for families or guests.
  • Under sail, she is beautifully balanced and performs exceptionally well. The in-mast furling mainsail makes handling straightforward, with all sail controls led back to the cockpit, allowing the boat to be sailed short-handed with ease.
  • One of our favourite features is the drop-down transom, which completely transforms the cockpit at anchor or alongside the dock, creating a wonderfully open outdoor living space and making access to the water effortless.
  • Having lived aboard with two children, the interior layout worked perfectly for our family. The three-head configuration meant everyone had their own space, while the saloon was large enough for us all to relax together comfortably. Storage throughout the boat is excellent and easily accommodated all the worldly possessions of a family of four.
  • We have enjoyed some truly memorable sailing adventures on board, from weekends at anchor to life afloat as a family. She has been a fantastic home and cruiser, providing comfort, practicality and countless happy memories.
  • Unfortunately, our circumstances have recently changed, and although we will be very sad to see her go, we hope her next owners will enjoy her just as much as we have.
