Description
Bavaria 42 Ocean: Un Sailboat for Demanding Owners
The Bavaria 42 Ocean is a sailboat designed for the most demanding owners, combining comfort, quality of construction, and remarkable sailing performance. With two spacious suite-type cabins, a solid build, and a comfortable central cockpit, this boat stands out as an ideal choice for those seeking pleasant and safe sailing.
Superior Quality and Design
The Ocean range from Bavaria, produced in the second half of the 1990s, was inspired by shipyards in Northern Europe such as Najad, Hallberg-Rassy, and Moody. These sailboats, known for their central cockpit and spacious interiors, offer a classic and discreet style, with a solidity and quality in the finishes that make them a preferred choice among the most selective sailors. Each boat in this range was certified by Lloyd’s German, ensuring a high standard in its construction process.
Space and Comfort Onboard
The Bavaria 42 Ocean was designed to provide comfort and spaciousness. Its interior, dominated by solid mahogany, offers an elegant and well-ventilated environment thanks to its multiple portholes and hatches. The salon has enough space for six or seven people, and the kitchen is spacious and functional, ideal for any sea conditions. The aft cabin is generous for the length of the boat, and its bathroom offers a separate shower, providing greater privacy and comfort.
Sailing Performance
With a notable displacement, this 13-meter sailboat shows its best performance starting at 10 knots of wind. On a close reach, it can achieve between 5.5 and 6 knots at 40 degrees to the true wind, and exceeds 7 knots with the sails open. Equipped with a standard 59 HP Volvo engine, the boat maintains a cruising speed of 7 knots, combining excellent maneuverability with considerable autonomy thanks to its 230-liter diesel tank.
Deck Equipment and Safety
On deck, the maneuvering is complete and of high quality, featuring the Selden mast with automatic reefing and Harken rigging. The central cockpit, covered with teak, offers comfort and is protected by a glass windscreen, providing safe navigation. The circulation onboard is smooth thanks to well-positioned handholds and the absence of inclined surfaces.
An Investment Opportunity
Today, the Bavaria 42 Ocean's price reflects its high quality and superior equipment compared to other sailboats of its length. It is a perfect boat for long stays onboard, ideal for two couples, and with features that remain competitive in the market. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a solid and well-equipped sailboat, with a history of excellence in sailing and comfort onboard.
Possibility of trade for a smaller vessel
I understand that each sailor has their own needs, so in addition to the sale, I am open to considering a trade for a smaller vessel. If you have a sailboat or boat of shorter length that fits what I am looking for, I would be happy to evaluate an exchange that could be beneficial for both. This way, the opportunity to acquire the Bavaria 42 Ocean becomes even more flexible and attractive for those looking to optimize their experience at sea.
Accommodation
The Bavaria 42 Ocean is designed to offer comfort on board both during daytime navigation and for extended stays. With its two spacious suite-type cabins and the roomy salon, this vessel can comfortably accommodate 6 or 7 people for a day trip, providing enough space on the deck and in the salon for everyone to enjoy a pleasant sailing experience.
For overnight stays, the two cabins offer generous and comfortable beds, providing space for 4 people with total privacy and comfort. The salon can also accommodate 2 additional people if necessary, using the convertible sofas, making a total of 6 people comfortably housed for the night.
Additional amenities and upgrades:
- Bathroom with separate shower for greater privacy.
- Spacious and well-equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing meals both at sea and in port.

With these features, the Bavaria 42 Ocean not only offers a safe and enjoyable sailing experience but also guarantees a superior level of comfort for extended stays on board.
Mechanical equipment
The Bavaria 42 Ocean comes equipped with a standard Volvo Penta 59 HP engine, which is ideal for maintaining a constant cruising speed of 7 knots, combining efficiency and power. This engine is known for its reliability and low consumption, providing considerable autonomy with the 230-liter diesel tank, perfect for long journeys without the need to refuel frequently.
Additionally, it features optional equipment and additional upgrades that may have been integrated into this particular vessel, such as:

These additional equipment or optional upgrades may have been integrated by the current owner, making navigation and stays on board more comfortable and efficient.
