Description

Remarks :Bavaria 42 Cruiser Privately owned, VAT paid, and never chartered — Suntana is a lightly used and exceptionally well-presented example of the popular Bavaria 42 Cruiser. Lying in the Ionian and owned by just two careful custodians since new, she has been used purely for private summer cruising, typically 4–5 weeks a year. With her desirable 3-cabin, 2-head layout and a strong spec, she's ready to step aboard and enjoy. Highlights • VAT paid – private ownership only• Never chartered – light personal use• 3 double cabins, 2 heads layout• Engine hours: 1,270 (as of Oct 2024)• Volvo D2-55 with new saildrive (2016) (Sail drive Seal Replaced Oct 2025)• Bow thruster – Vetus • Battery system upgraded in 2024• Extended davits & custom carbon gangplank• Re-upholstered interior with LED lighting• Good sail inventory including gennaker• Teak cockpit, solar panels, electric windlass Why She Stands Out Suntana has clearly been cared for — her owners have kept her in excellent condition with regular servicing and considered upgrades. The engine has low hours, the systems are well-maintained, and recent investments include new batteries, a saildrive unit, and interior improvements. Her extended davits, monogrammed gangplank, and thoughtful extras add real cruising comfort. This is a turnkey yacht ideal for Mediterranean family sailing. Broker’s Remarks This Bavaria 42 Cruiser offers genuine value in today’s market — never chartered, VAT paid, and sensibly upgraded for easy Ionian cruising.
