Bavaria 49 Owners Version (2003) – Premium 3-Cabin Sailing Yacht in Preveza

The Bavaria 49 Owners Version (2003) is a distinguished sailing yacht located in Preveza, Greece, offering exceptional comfort for up to 12 guests across 3 spacious cabins. Built with Bavaria’s renowned craftsmanship, this yacht features in-mast furling and bow thrusters, making it easy to sail single-handed. With VAT paid, an unlimited transit log, and UK flag registration, it is ready for immediate international cruising or live-aboard use.

She combines the comfort of a much larger yacht with the simplicity, sailing performance and practicality that have made the Bavaria 49 one of the most popular cruising yachts ever built. With her extensive recent upgrades, low-hours engine and excellent liveaboard layout, she is ready to be enjoyed immediately by her next owners. Viewing by appointment in Preveza, Greece. Serious enquiries welcome.
