2003 Bavaria 49 Cruiser | One Owner, Never Chartered – Bluewater Ready

Offered exclusively through Williams & Smithells International, this 2003 Bavaria 49 Cruiser is a rare opportunity, one private owner from new and never chartered. Located in Licata, Sicily, she features the highly sought-after 3-cabin owner’s layout, built for comfort, space, and serious cruising.

Constructed by Bavaria Yachtbau and designed by J& J Design, she boasts a solid GRP hull, cast iron fin keel, and balanced blade rudder, a proven ocean-going cruiser with CE Category A (Ocean) certification. Powered by a Volvo Penta TMD22 (rebuilt, 804 hrs) with saildrive and Gori folding prop, she also includes a Mase generator and dual-voltage 12V/220V electrical system.

Below, the interior is warm and welcoming with three generous double cabins, including a true owner’s stateroom forward with ensuite head and separate shower. A spacious saloon with U-shaped dining, linear galley, and navigation station provides a functional and sociable layout. Features include Airtronic heating, Dometic fridge/freezer, and full cruising inventory.

The sail setup includes in-mast furling mainsail, furling genoa, storm sail, and asymmetric spinnaker, all supported by six self-tailing winches (two electric). Full Raymarine nav suite and tender with outboard included.

Afloat and available now in Licata.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
