With CE Category A (Ocean) certification, she is ready for serious passages. Her rebuilt Volvo Penta TMD22 engine drives a Gori folding prop through a saildrive. A Mase generator and dual-voltage 12V/220V system ensure reliable power on extended voyages.

Step below and you’ll find a warm, practical interior finished in fine wood. The forward owner’s cabin includes an ensuite head with a separate shower, while two aft doubles have access to a further two separate heads. The saloon offers a sociable layout with U-shaped seating, a linear galley, and a full navigation station. Comfort features include Airtronic heating, a Domestic fridge/freezer, and a complete cruising inventory for bluewater living.

Under sail, she performs smoothly and efficiently. The rig includes an in-mast furling mainsail, furling genoa, storm sail, and asymmetric spinnaker. Six self-tailing winches, including two electric, make sail handling simple. Her full Raymarine navigation suite and tender with outboard round out a ready-to-cruise package.

Now afloat and ready for viewing in Licata, this Bavaria 49 Cruiser combines quality, reliability, and proven ocean performance. Don’t miss this exceptional chance to own a true bluewater yacht.
