The most boat for your money? Bavaria C38 yacht test

  • Theo Stocker
  • April 26, 2021

Competition is hot for high-volume cruisers, but have Bavaria built a boat that is fun to sail as well as spacious and affordable? Theo Stocker took her for a spin to find out

Product Overview

Bavaria c38.

  • Fun and engaging to sail
  • Vast amounts of space
  • A lot of boat for your money
  • Limited stowage in 3-cabin version
  • Mainsheet lacked power
  • Some exposed systems in lockers

Price as reviewed:.

A job worth doing is worth doing properly, so the saying goes. There’s no doubt that Bavaria have committed wholeheartedly to the concept behind their new C38 and the result is a boat fully confident in its identity. That’s a good job, given the level of competition the C38 will be up against in the 37-38ft production cruiser market.

This boat aims to do three things: create the absolute maximum amount of space on deck and below from the available waterline length; be enjoyable and engaging to sail, if not a race boat; and give a potential buyer the maximum bang for their buck. In practice, the design has added significant volume in both the bow and the stern, introduced a deeper, rounder forefoot to reduce slamming, and has deepened the single rudder, which, coupled with the bow thruster, should give plenty of control in harbour and underway.

A first look at the boat reveals a few significant details. Firstly, her waterline takes up almost her entire length, with virtually no overhangs at the ends. Then there are the chines. This is only the second Bavaria to have hull chines, and they are used to take the significant beam, which is carried all the way aft, down to the water, creating more volume in the aft cabins, as well as providing power to the hull form. Next, there’s the huge bluff bow and vertical stem, again multiplying the volume in the forward cabin. Pretty it might not be, but there’s a certain purposeful muscularity to it.

Bavaria Yachts, the company, gained new owners in 2018, and they’ve been quick to make a fresh start, starting with a plan to update the entire range. Having moved from design house J&J to Cossutti Design, the C38 is the latest, smallest boat in the new lineup. The strongly chined hull shape makes a bold statement about that new direction. I was keen to see how this added up on the water.

TEST VERDICT

If you looked at this yacht and thought the vast volume would make her a poor sailer, you would be mistaken. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had sailing her. The feel on the helm was direct, responsive and engaging; this boat is fun to sail. She wasn’t twitchy even when overpressed and gave plenty of warning before the rudder started to lose grip. This boat reminds you of why a single rudder makes sense, and is deep enough that she has plenty of grip even when heeled, which is the main reason wide-sterned boats have twin rudders. The benefits when handling in harbour are huge, given that manoeuvring and mooring is the most stressful part of any cruise for most owners.

Granted, the mainsheet purchase needs a bit of improvement, but if I were buying this boat, I’d go for the more easily handled furling main and self-tacking jib, with the Code Zero for the extra sail area to keep the boat moving off the wind. This would seem to fit with the ethos of simple and fun sailing that this boat ascribes to.

WOULD SHE SUIT YOU AND YOUR CREW?

I’d imagine this boat will prove popular with sailing schools and charter companies, but if you’re after maximum boat for your buck for family coastal cruising, this is definitely worth a look too.

The idea of having three king-sized beds on what is really a 36-foot hull is staggering. You’d have to weigh up whether you want an ensuite owner’s head enough to sacrifice some of this bed space in the forward cabin, but given the layout options, there seems little reason to go for the two-cabin rather than three-cabin layout. If you’re not using the third you could still use it for the stowage you’d be missing out on.

Given the price point of this boat, the quality of finish was really very good, and the resurrected Bavaria has upped its game several notches. Arguably, the C38 could now be the boat to beat in this size sector and you’ll struggle to get more new boat for your money than this.

Buying a yacht through Yachtinvest

We are only happy if you are too!

Buy your personal dream yacht, or use our professional charter management program!

Whether catamaran, motor or sailing yacht - we combine your personal needs and accompany you fully from the inquiry to delivery. Because your dream should come true!

Step by step to your own yacht:

Choose the right yacht brand and above all the right model Which yacht equipment do you want? Where should your home port be? Do you want to buy the yacht privately or are you interested in our charter management? Maintenance by an experienced service team, so that you and your yacht are doing well If you want to sell your yacht after a few years, we will be happy to assist you with the marketing up to the change of ownership.

Charter management

Yacht ownership is an unimaginable commitment for many. Financially, as well as organizationally. Some think of the many problems, such as maintenance, care, lack of trust in the service companies. Also one would like to enter his ship in the vacation and go out immediately.

chartermanagement-zacherl-yachtcharter.jpg

But we can give you from our own experience - it can be done differently! 

With our charter management - program you become carefree yacht owner and can enjoy your vacation as such several times a year. Basically, the income from chartering out the yacht is slightly more than the running costs. That means mooring fees, service costs, small repairs, depreciation or financing costs and also the marketing of your yacht will pay for themselves. 

The most important thing here is that you choose the right service - base and the best possible marketing.

But we would also like to tell you honestly: You should not necessarily look at yachtinvest as a great return opportunity. Rather it is an investment out of passion, which however is fun in comparison to private ownership from an entrepreneurial point of view. In addition, one saves charter costs and last but not least, after a few years, the surplus from the sale of used boats remains.

Above all, this kind of yacht ownership is a safe way to fulfill your dream. So you can look forward to your vacation! 

We offer the charter management program in Croatia, Turkey and Greece. No matter if catamaran, motor yacht or sailing yacht - we will definitely find the right model with the right equipment for you. Above all we take you by the hand, so that your ship becomes attractive. 

Charter management in a nutshell

Transparent offer about yacht and charter package Complete yacht provisioning and equipment Carefree yacht ownership  Leasing organization or private loan possible Cost recovery through chartering The yacht is always ready for your vacation  High maintenance standards and best service Booking overview of your own ship Transparent annual account Special conditions  Favorable financing Owner weeks / charter savings Insurance, fees and accounting are organized for you Support for resale Classic financing

You order the yacht of your choice from us and pay 100% of the purchase price shortly before delivery. The yacht will be transferred to a local company for tax reasons, so you do not have to pay the VAT. The income but also the costs for the bear you as the owner. The total statement will be neatly listed to you at the end of the year in the form of a statement. For owners who have to finance the yacht, monthly deductions can be agreed upon, which reduce the annual income and thus the bank liabilities can be serviced. In this model you can spend up to 6 owner weeks a year on the ship. After approx. 7 years you can either take over the ship privately or make it available for further charters.

Yacht - Leasing

You contribute about 50% of the share personally and the rest of the purchase price is financed by the local company. In this case you do not receive any income - but you also do not bear any costs. Should there still be a deficit at the end of the year, these must be taken over by the owner. Usually this is not the case - but especially after the learning effect from Covid - times you should be aware of a certain residual risk. But what would be an investment without risk - this is unfortunately almost impossible.

After approx. 6 years you can take over the yacht again privately or leave it in charter.

yacht-leasing-zacherl-yachtcharter.jpg

YACHTINVEST CONTRACTS

You will be managed as a so-called owner from the moment of order or payment. You receive a real-time accounting overview and documentation of maintenance work. 90% of the vessels are managed by the company on site, as accounting and taxation are thus handled by a central company. Of course, you could also set up your own company, but this involves additional costs.

As a so-called owner you will receive an owner's contract and a notarized security for your vessel.

How is the charter income divided?

In the classic case, the charter income is divided as follows. From the 100% income, 35% is deducted for service and marketing. These remain with the service company, or with the charter agency. In addition, the applicable value added tax is deducted. With the rest you have to pay for the berth, the repairs, the insurance and the financing.

The 35% includes for example the following:

Agency commission for a high occupancy rate Reception and assistance on site (check-in / check-out) Small repair works during the season Charter bookkeeping Yachtinvest - but which yacht should I choose?

Basically, the choice is entirely up to you - but we will gladly take you by the hand and guide you to a marketable basic option, which can be expanded according to your personal needs. The last few years have shown a clear trend towards more comfort and luxury, which is why we are happy to offer you our support here as well. In any case, you will get a clear direction from experience regarding the berth, the yacht selection and of course the basic equipment.

Yachtinvest - Registration?

As mentioned, we recommend to include the yacht in an existing company, but you can also start a company. Establishing a company in Croatia is not difficult and costs about 3.750,- EUR. Of this amount, approx. 2.500,- EUR is basic capital, which can be reused. We also offer support in this area - however, we always recommend using the existing company in order to keep downstream costs as low as possible.

By the way, you should also have thought about a name for your dream yacht by then - because it has to be registered in the ship's papers.

yachtinvest-zacherl-yachtcharter-1.jpg

Yachtinvest and damages

All yachts in the charter fleet are fully insured. In case of a fully comprehensive insurance, the driving guest is always liable with the deposit, which also represents the deductible. The cost of damage is borne by the insurance or from the deposit of the charter client who caused the damage. Again, it is important that the local service partner acts quickly and has a lot of experience, so that your ship can leave as soon as possible.

Yachtinvest & Resale

With proper maintenance, one assumes a resale value of about 50-60% after the 6-7 years in charter. In the end, this is also where most of the return is hidden, since during the term, pretty much all of the income has to cover the costs incurred. One must also be aware that a yacht investment is not a big business model and cannot be compared to real estate. But despite all that, you can use your ship during the year, save a lot of charter costs - if you could afford to charter for 4 weeks at all. And you have your dream yacht, which can be taken over at the end of the term.

CONCLUSION YACHTINVEST 

A successful interaction of owner, yacht charter base and marketing agency and for many a feasible way to the dream yacht.

If you are interested and would like a non-binding consultation, please do not hesitate to contact us! We would be happy to welcome you as a new owner!

BAVARIA C65 – The largest yacht ever built by the shipyard

The BAVARIA C65 is the new flagship of the BAVARIA YACHTS fleet of sailing yachts and, following the successful presentation of the yacht this spring, is the next logical step in the expansion of the BAVARIA C-Line .

With the BAVARIA C65, BAVARIA YACHTS brings fresh impetus to the booming market segment of sailing yachts between 55 and 75 feet. The BAVARIA C65 impresses both on and below deck thanks to its elegant and modern design. BAVARIA YACHTS offers a high level of customisation with numerous different layout options available below deck for the owner to choose from.

Bavaria C65

It is the largest yacht ever built by BAVARIA YACHTS. Production of the new yacht has already begun. The first sea trials are planned for the autumn.

bavaria yacht leasing

The BAVARIA C65 is a masterpiece in design, engineering and technology. She was designed for sailors who place high expectations on their yacht. Her fast and reliable sailing performance is impressive. Even on long trips, the BAVARIA C65 can be sailed with very small crews or even single-handedly. It is classed as a fast cruiser and is also the perfect yacht for blue water sailing. From Cannes to Nice, or from Hamburg to the Caribbean, the BAVARIA C65 opens up every sea to its owners.

Length overall

Beam overall, 2.6 m / 3.5 m.

The clear line of its hull, its flat wide deck and its sporty rigging define the design of the BAVARIA C65. The large windows in the hull fit elegantly into the line of the hull lending even more dynamism to its length. The dynamic lines of the C65 support the flat design with its narrow strip of windows running from the mast to the cockpit support. The large XXL bathing platform in the stern plays host to the dinghy garage and provides the ideal location for bathing, preparing for a thrilling dive, or enjoying some sunbathing. There is easily enough room in the dinghy garage for a jet tender and other equipment.

DISCOVER MORE FREEDOM TO DECIDE. There are four configurations to choose from in the BAVARIA C65. Each of them can be adapted to your needs. The benefit for owners is that they can combine different areas flexibly, just the way they want them.

bavaria yacht leasing

A glance at the technical specifications for the C65 immediately reveals the perfect balance between elegant design, a generous amount of space, a high level of reliability at sea, and fast sailing capabilities. At 19.45 metres in length and with a breadth of 5.40 metres the C65 has a very streamlined appearance. But below deck, it’s quite a different story. Whether in the 3-cabin or 4-cabin version, with the skipper cabin in the forecastle, the BAVARIA C65 is unbelievably luxurious when it comes to space.

BAVARIA YACHTS’ vision is to build the best yachts in their class. The BAVARIA C65 was developed with exactly this vision in mind. The designers, engineers and boat builders challenged this vision again and again at each development stage until they found the best solutions.

BAVARIA 38 OCEAN CC Year 1997

Drawned by J&J Designs and built in the great age of the German shipyard, the Bavaria 38 Ocean combines a remarkably well built hull - sandwich above the waterline, Kevlar shield on the bow and up to the first third of the hull, reinforced floors and lead keel - to a warm and spacious interior with beautiful woodwork. The central cockpit allows a safe navigation and the installation of a large and comfortable aft cabin. She is a unit in good condition, never rented. This Bavaria 38 Ocean is well equiped to allow beautiful cruises with reduced crew.

Owner's words

This Bavaria 38 Ocean has been part of our life during almost ten years. She was our first boat. We rented many boats at the time we were still in work. We enjoyed her during the first part of our retreat, and now, we want to buy a bigger sailboat to welcome frinds and family. It is also made for that a boat according to us. We put on sale our Bavaria which suprised us on many points. first of all, her finishes. The shipyard has a downing reputation and the collective imagination has forgotten the incredible quality of boats it built until the end of the 2000s. She is solid, well done, equiped with seriousness, woodworks are remarkables and the arrangements well thought out. She is also a boat that works well under sails and motor.

BAVARIA C38 – THIS YEAR'S NEXT WORLD PREMIERE FROM BAVARIA YACHTS

published on 26 August 2020

BAVARIA YACHTS will present its new BAVARIA C38 in autumn. After the BAVARIA C42, this is the second newly developed sailing yacht this year. Striking design elements, such as the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and chines at the stern, guarantee safe, fast sailing characteristics and an incredible amount of space below decks.

bavaria yacht leasing

Perfect sailing characteristics, simple handling, maximum usage of the interior below decks and the highest level of comfort...

...what might once have been a contradiction in the field of yacht design, the new BAVARIA C38 proves to be possible without compromises. Just as with the larger BAVARIA C42, the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and distinctive chines at the stern are two crucial design elements of the new BAVARIA C38.

“Chines increase stability while sailing at a heeling angle of between 15 and 20 degrees. When designing the bottom of the hull, the dynamic effect of the chines can also be used to provide faster water drainage from the hull. Modern sailboats often have a very wide stern and therefore a lot of volume in the rear of the hull. When the sailboat gets more wind and the heel increases, the hull gets out of balance. The stern comes further out of the water and the bow is pushed further into the water. As a result the pressure on the rudder increases. A V-Bow with more volume compensates this effect and the boat is easier to steer.” explains Maurizio Cossutti, the yacht designer responsible alongside his team for the hull shape.

Almost 80 square metres of sail area across the mainsail (46m 2 ) and the 109% Genoa (35m 2 ) ensure optimal propulsion by the wind. Simple handling while tacking is guaranteed by the standard self-tacking jib (30m 2 ). Code0 (70m 2 ) and gennaker (130m 2 ) sails complete the BAVARIA C38’s sporty sail plan.

Below decks, the BAVARIA V-shaped bow and the chines at the stern opened up completely new opportunities for the BAVARIA YACHTS development team to use the space. “The V-shaped bow provides us with more space in the bow cabin below decks too. The chines mean we can place the large stern cabins a little further aft. Both these aspects benefit the lounge, allowing seven people to comfortably enjoy their dinner at the salon table,” explains Pascal Kuhn, who is responsible for the new development of sailing and motor yachts at BAVARIA YACHTS.

And there really is plenty of space below decks in the cabins. In the owner’s cabin in the bow, the double bed measures a sensational 1.73 x 2 metres. The berths in the stern cabins measure 1.50 x 2 metres, which must also be close to a record for this size of boat.

For individual configurations of the BAVARIA C38, BAVARIA YACHTS offers layouts with 2 or 3 cabins. Alongside the generous bathroom with a separate shower midships to starboard, an additional bathroom for the owner in the bow cabin can be requested. The large, bright lounge with L-shaped pantry, U-shaped sofa, lounge bench and card table offers real living space for the whole crew. The BAVARIA C38 is ready to sail for 128.900 € excluding VAT.

The BAVARIA C38 completes BAVARIA YACHTS’ C-line, alongside the larger models BAVARIA C42, C45 and C50 as well as the flagship BAVARIA C57. The public will be able to view the BAVARIA C38 for the first time at the boot 2021 trade fair. The world premiere will already have completed its first tests and production for the BAVARIA C38 will be in full swing at the shipyard in Giebelstadt.

Bateau Bavaria C42

BAVARIA C42

Élu voilier de l’année Européen et Français 2021 , Le Bavaria C42 fait beaucoup parler de lui. Il marque notamment le retour de Bavaria sur la scène Européenne.

Une forme de coque moderne à bouchains et une étrave en forme de V développées par Bavaria Yachts garantissent à la fois des bonnes performances de navigation et un volume intérieur important.

Lors des essais du bateau avec des journalistes en septembre 2020 à La Rochelle, Le Bavaria C42 a impressionné par son haut niveau de confort et sa capacité à s’adapter en fonction de la météo. Il navigue rapidement dans toutes les conditions et son utilisation est simple.

What our clients say.

Now that this whole drama has been settled, at least in terms of insurance, I would like to thank you once again “officially” for your support. Without your tireless efforts “well beyond the way of duty” I would be in a different situation now.

Thank you for the quick processing, I am very satisfied with the handling of the insurance claim.

Have received the amount with thanks.

An unsightly scratch on our Danish client’s brand new boat, caused by the tarpaulin, created a sad mood. The damage was settled by us immediately. Paint, scratch and scuff damage are excluded by many insurance providers, but not by BAVARIA AG. The customer’s comment: „ Dear Bavaria-Crew, thank you from Denmark for the professional and smooth handling of my case.“

January 2022

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the BAVARIA AG team very much. I feel very well looked after.”

“Thank you very much for your message, the quick processing and the positive response. I’ll pass it on to the boatyard and get back to you as soon as the damage has been repaired.”

December 2021

“I hope we see each other again with a Sundowner and then don’t have to fret about damage. Even if this one was definitely solved by BAVARIA AG.”

October 2021

“We are very pleased that this case can now be shelved and would like to thank you very much for the good dialogue and excellent service.”

“Thank you very much for your support and the quick and uncomplicated settlement. It already eases the pain and anger a lot in such an event.”

“Have many thanks for the super-fast processing of our request, with which you help to ensure that our holiday still succeeds.”

September 2020

“That was a very quick transaction with you and a very pleasant contact. I will definitely recommend you to others.”

August 2020

“Now that I have experienced how professional you work and how important your customers are to you, I am simply thrilled. BAVARIA AG is an absolute recommendation.”

“Thank you very much for your feedback and the extremely fast processing. It’s nice that the settlement went so smoothly.”

“I would like to thank you for the swift and unbureaucratic handling of the claim. You can recommend insurance companies like this with confidence.”

“Thank you very much for your commitment. Unfortunately, it’s very rare to find something like that anymore. Now all we have to do is wait for the workshop to finish on time and our holiday is saved.”

“Thank you very much for the quick and smooth processing. As soon as the police recover the motor, we will of course notify them immediately.”

“Thank you very much for the very quick handling of the two damages. We really appreciate it and so do the customers as they can now still use their boat.”

“Thank you very much for your support. I am extremely satisfied with the generous handling of the claim.”

“Thank you very much for your commitment and responsiveness. This is not a matter of course and, above all, extremely professional.”

“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the quick and uncomplicated handling of the claim. You have no idea how difficult the pitiful condition of my boat was to endure.”

“Many thanks for your equally competent, friendly and prompt support.”
