Urteil
A practical 39-footer with a roomy three-cabin layout, moderate draft and predictable sailing manners. It is not a performance cruiser, but it offers solid comfort, decent upwind capability and good charter value for crews prioritizing space over sportiness.

The Bavaria 39 Cruiser from 2007 is a J&J-designed fiberglass cruising yacht with a fin keel, spade rudder and fractional sloop rig. At about 39 feet overall with a broad beam near 4 meters, it favors interior volume and stability over high-end performance, which is typical of Bavaria’s production cruisers of this era.
Under sail, it is generally regarded as a straightforward and forgiving boat rather than a fast, highly tuned one. The rig and sail plan are sufficient for comfortable coastal and passage cruising, and the moderate ballast ratio and displacement point to steady rather than lively behavior. Handling is manageable for a short-handed crew, though the boat’s beam and cruising-focused setup mean it will not feel especially nimble compared with more performance-oriented designs.
Accommodation is a strong point: the common three-cabin layout and capacity for up to eight guests make it well suited to family cruising or charter. Tankage around 210 liters of fuel and 360 liters of water is useful for longer stays aboard, and the overall layout is typically practical and easy to live with. For buyers or charter guests, the main appeal is usable space and dependable comfort at a relatively accessible price point, especially on the secondhand market.
