1999 Bavaria 38 Ocean

This 1999 Bavaria 38 Ocean is a centre cockpit cruising yacht built in Germany to a design by J&J Design. The fiberglass hull is copper-coated, and the boat features a single diesel engine paired with a folding propeller. The wide beam and spacious teak deck cockpit create a practical platform for extended cruising, while in-mast furling and a good sail inventory keep rigging demands manageable.

Accommodation comprises two double cabins and two single berths in the saloon, offering flexibility for cruising with family or friends. The centre cockpit layout provides the characteristic protected helm position and open entertaining space this design is known for.

Recent upgrades include new batteries installed in 2025 and a new sprayhood. A Raymarine chartplotter was added in 2021. The boat carries a stainless steel solar arch with four solar panels and comes with cockpit cushions. In-mast furling and the copper-coated hull speak to maintenance-conscious ownership. The boat has been regularly maintained and shows the benefit of careful private stewardship over her years.
