This Bavaria 50 Cruiser is a well-equipped bluewater cruiser offering a spacious five-cabin, three-head layout ideal for family cruising, liveaboard life, or extended offshore adventures. Thoughtfully upgraded for long-distance cruising, she combines comfortable accommodations with excellent sailing performance and impressive self-sufficiency.
Recent upgrades include enhanced solar power and charging systems, a watermaker, updated navigation and autopilot systems, improved safety and communications equipment, and LED lighting throughout.
Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta TMD22 70 HP turbo diesel engine, recent maintenance includes a renewed turbo, rebuilt raw water pump, updated Volvo instrument panel, and renewed cutlass bearing. The standing rigging was inspected in 2025, the mainsail serviced in 2026, and the genoa replaced in 2024.
A major structural improvement was completed when the deck-to-hull joint was professionally resealed and reinforced with fiberglass, resulting in a stronger vessel. A 2025 survey found no osmosis and no keel or structural grid damage.
