S/V Sunny 64 is a Panama based 2002 Bavaria 50 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.
This rare three-cabin version of the Bavaria 50 is a thoughtfully engineered cruiser that moves well in light air and carries ocean-rated credentials without sacrificing livability. Its beam-driven stability and long waterline make it a forgiving passage-maker. The current owners have sailed the vessel on long ocean passages from the Indian Ocean to Panama, where she awaits your inspection. Bavaria Yachtbau built the Bavaria 50 in Germany with a hull of hand-laid solid GRP below the waterline and sandwich construction above it. The Category A rating and the structural choices behind it place the boat in the company of serious blue-water cruisers rather than coastal weekenders. Overall, the Bavaria presents as a well-finished cruiser with a blue-water pedigree and enviable interior amenities and volume.
