About the BAVARIA 43 CRUISER
Available with an optional 360 l/95 gal. water tank. Gross tonnage (GRT): 23.36
The Bavaria 43 Cruiser is a fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Bavaria Yachts (GER) between 2008 and 2010. With a displacement of 21605.3 lb and a beam of 13.09 ft, this model offers a spacious layout typical of the brand's cruising-oriented designs, though specific hull production numbers are not available in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and families seeking a comfortable, easy-to-handle vessel with ample interior space. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for short-handed sailing, though it is primarily oriented toward inshore and coastal passages rather than extreme performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 21605.3 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.88, and a fin keel, the Bavaria 43 Cruiser is designed primarily for coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making, though its moderate comfort ratio of 27.81 suggests reasonable seakeeping in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau Oceanis 423 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43.2, as they share similar dimensions, fractional rigs, and a focus on interior volume and ease of handling for coastal cruising.
