Big, bold and beautiful, the Bavaria 51 Cruiser delivers on so many fronts we could only list a few of them: Sailing capability, build quality and strength, modern functional design, fabulous looks, choice of layouts, massive range of options and so much more.

Modelled on the same hull and rig as the tireless Bavaria 50 Cruiser, this yacht has an imperious sailing heritage. With a few modifications to the deck layout, such as the widened transom platform, new cockpit table, life-raft storage option, the refinements are concise. Ease of handling and sailing performance remain as good as ever (or even better when using superb innovations such as the German mainsheet system).

Below decks you have a choice of three, four or five cabins with three heads and showers. The saloon is immense with comfortable seating surrounding the large saloon table. The galley is set to starboard in a u-shape with double sinks, bountiful storage and a full-sized, front-loading fridge with separate freezer. The identical aft cabins have plentiful storage, ventilation and very large berths and the two aft heads/showers are located on port and starboard in the aft section of the saloon.

The three cabin layout features a huge forward stateroom with a massive centreline double bed, settee, vanity table and an ensuite head with separate shower cubicle. Four cabins provides a double bunk room to port and the five cabin layout caters for two double bunk rooms meaning ten guests can be accommodated in abject comfort.

With a multitude of available options including three interior colour choices, a variety of fabric colours and materials, multiple electronic and entertainment solutions, this yacht is a customisable production yacht capable of fulfilling the most elementary and most ambitious of sailing needs.
