Bavaria Cruiser 40

Bavaria Cruiser 40 is a 12.35-metre sailing yacht built in 2012 and based at Marinturk Village Port in Bodrum. Three cabins and six berths make it a straightforward fit for overnight groups, and a seventh guest can join for day sails. The yacht charters as a whole boat for one private group only, so the cockpit, saloon and every metre of deck remain exclusively yours from the moment you cast off until you return to the marina.

One of the most notable practical qualities of this yacht is its consistent, predictable handling across varying wind conditions. The helm responds well in light air and holds steady as the breeze builds, making Bavaria Cruiser 40 a sensible choice for groups that bring together experienced sailors and complete beginners. Under way, the wide cockpit serves as a proper sailing station. Once the anchor is down, it naturally becomes the social heart of the boat. Below deck, the integrated saloon and dining area comfortably seats all seven guests, and on calm anchorage afternoons it lends itself to long, unhurried meals.

From Marinturk Village Port, day sails to the sheltered bays and hidden coves along the Bodrum peninsula are the most immediate option and fit practically any schedule. For groups with more time, a multi-day blue cruise into the Gulf of Gökova is well within reach: clear water, quiet anchorages and slow evenings in small coastal villages suit both the pace of this yacht and the rhythm of a proper sailing holiday. Bavaria Cruiser 40 handles these longer passages with a reliability that gives the crew and guests genuine confidence on the water.

For anyone exploring Bodrum sailing yacht charter options, Bavaria Cruiser 40 offers capable, well-maintained performance with full exclusivity for a single private group. Get in touch for current availability and a quote tailored to your dates and group size.
