About this yacht

Bavaria 42 Sport located in Naples (NA), offered at €190,000 VAT included.

Boat ready on the dock in excellent general condition, impeccably maintained.

This 2008 Bavaria 42 Sport combines performance, comfort, and practical layout, making her ideal for family cruising or extended weekends at sea. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 370 IPS 500 engines (overhauled in 2024) with 850 engine hours, she delivers reliability and smooth handling. The extended swim platform and refined exterior layout enhance onboard comfort and usability.

About Bavaria Motorboats. Bavaria expanded into motor yachts in the early 2000s with the Sport / Vida line — German-built planing motor yachts designed by BMW Designworks for the 30-50 foot segment. The 42 Sport (in production 2007-2012) was Bavaria's mid-range hardtop sport cruiser.

Cruising profile. A 13-metre hardtop sport cruiser — typically two-cabin layout (master forward + guest aft), single open helm on the main deck, large aft cockpit suitable for Italian Tyrrhenian and Aegean weekending. Cruising speeds in the 20-25 knot range with twin Volvo Penta diesel power.

Build characteristics. Bavaria Sport hulls are generally robust, with Volvo Penta engines that are well-supported across Mediterranean service networks. The hardtop integration and the swim platform mechanics are typical inspection priorities for this generation. Two-cabin format with separate heads is the standard layout.

Buyer notes. Inspection priorities for a 2008 Bavaria 42 Sport: engine hours, hydraulic systems, gelcoat finish, electronics generation, and hardtop window/seal condition. German production quality is consistent; service history typically clean. Naples-area lying makes for convenient Italian survey logistics.
