Bavaria Cruiser 40

The Bavaria Cruiser 40 is a 2012-built sailing yacht based at Marinturk Village Port in Bodrum, measuring 12.35 metres in length and accommodating up to seven guests across three cabins and six berths. The boat is available for whole-vessel charter only, meaning the deck, cockpit, salon and all shared spaces belong exclusively to your group throughout the trip.

Bavaria's Cruiser 40 has earned consistent respect among sailing enthusiasts for its spacious cockpit layout, wide saloon, and predictable handling in open-water conditions. The 2012 build reflects Bavaria's well-established approach to practical offshore cruising: generous headroom, a sensibly arranged three-cabin layout, and reliable rigging designed for varied sea conditions. The seventh berth provides useful flexibility for families or close-knit groups that travel in slightly larger numbers.

Marinturk Village Port sits on the southwestern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, placing the yacht within easy reach of the peninsula's sheltered coves as well as the broader Aegean cruising grounds. From this base, you can plan single-day sails among the Bodrum bays, anchoring in turquoise inlets for swimming and lunch, or you can extend into a multi-day blue cruise taking in the Gulf of Gökova and further along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast. The sailing yacht format suits groups who want to harness the wind rather than rely on an engine, and the Cruiser 40's performance-to-comfort ratio makes longer passages genuinely enjoyable rather than merely manageable.

For those searching Bodrum yacht charter options specifically in the sailing category, the Bavaria Cruiser 40 offers a well-proven hull with a comfortable live-aboard interior at a competitive size for private groups. A professional skipper can be arranged if needed, making the yacht accessible even to guests without formal sailing experience.
