A well-balanced 38-footer that favors easy cruising, simple systems and generous interior volume over sharp performance. The Bavaria 38 Cruiser is a practical family yacht with solid value, though it is not a high-strung sailboat and can feel moderate in light air.
Плюсы
- +Spacious three-cabin layout for a 39 ft cruiser
- +Wide beam and stable fin-keel/spade-rudder configuration
- +Good cruising tankage for weekend or short passagemaking
- +Strong value in the used market
- +Simple, owner-friendly systems and handling
Минусы
- −Performance is moderate rather than spirited
- −Aft cockpit and broad hull can feel less lively upwind
- −Older examples may show variable finish and maintenance levels
- −Draft and rig are aimed more at cruising than shallow-water access
The Bavaria 38 Cruiser is a mainstream German-built cruising yacht from the mid-2000s, designed by J&J with a broad beam, fractional sloop rig and a practical fin-keel/spade-rudder layout. It carries the proportions of a family cruiser rather than a racer, and that shows in its emphasis on volume, easy access and straightforward deck ergonomics.
On the water, the boat is generally described as steady and predictable rather than especially fast. With a sail plan around the low-70s square meters range and a displacement near 7 tonnes, it should deliver dependable cruising performance, with the usual Bavaria character of easy handling, modest heel and acceptable speed in normal conditions. It is best suited to relaxed coastal sailing and passage-making rather than performance-oriented sailing.
Inside, the three-cabin arrangement makes the 38 Cruiser appealing for charter or family use, and the 3.86 m beam helps create a roomy saloon and workable aft cabins. Storage, tankage and liveaboard comfort are strong points for the size, though build finish can vary by individual boat and year. As a used purchase, it usually represents good value: a lot of boat for the money, provided maintenance history is solid.
