47' 2000 Bavaria

Accommodation

Stepping below decks, the layout is configured with three cabins. The in-line galley to port is a hallmark of this era, providing extensive workspace and excellent storage, though some traditionalists find it less secure than a U-shaped galley when preparing meals at a high angle of heel.

Tankage is generous for a production boat of this size. With approximately 460 litres (101 gallons) of fuel and 600 litres (132 gallons) of water, the Bavaria 47 is well equipped for extended periods away from the marina.

The cockpit is designed for socialising, with a large fixed table and dual steering wheels on later versions. This allows for an easy thoroughfare to the sugar-scoop stern, a blessing for Caribbean-style boarding or swimming.

Owners Comments and Boat History

I have owned Voyage now for 7 years. Sailed extensively in the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

We started in April 2025 from the Baltic Sea for our trip going through the Dover Strait, all along the European Coast, crossing Biscayne Bay, following Portugal and Spain down to Gibraltar, and went to Madeira. From the Canaries and Cabo Verde, we passages to Barbados and then cruised along the Caribbean islands. In June 2026, we hauled out in Saint Martin for new antifouling and propeller change.

The boat went safely and comfortably through rough weather and has always been stable and secure.

Here we have bought a catamaran and therefore we must sell our trusty, reliable lady, "Voyage."

I greatly respect this boat in that it is reliable and safe even if the conditions become challengingly rough. In my opinion, it is very nice that you can stay dry in the fully canvas-enclosed cockpit during rain by setting the enclosure while you are still sailing. You can do everything from the cockpit and no need to go on deck. This makes you safe when weather is rough.

Also, the spacious galley and cockpit is a highlight. We had parties with 8 people dancing in the cockpit.

All in all, we also have some tears in the eyes by selling the boat. But now we have purchased a catamaran.
