Yacht for Charter: Bavaria 38 - 40ft Solway Adventurer 2004 model
Introduced in 2002, the Bavaria 38 is a modern, high-volume cruising yacht designed by J & J Design as an updated version of the Bavaria 37. Known for its excellent handling and comfort, it’s widely regarded as one of the best family cruising yachts, capable of performing well in a range of conditions. With a spacious interior and a comfortable cockpit, enhanced by solid wood trim and veneered finishes, the Bavaria 38 offers both style and practicality. In a 2002 boat test and review, Yachting Monthly praised the yacht, describing it as “light on the helm and rewarding to sail.”
