Broker Remarks

Few Bavaria 42 Cruisers currently on the market have benefited from this level of thoughtful investment. Rather than simply replacing equipment, the current owners have carried out a comprehensive programme of upgrades based on survey findings and practical cruising experience. The renewed deck, extensive Victron lithium electrical system, substantial solar generation and significant mechanical improvements represent many tens of thousands of euros of investment that the next owner will not need to undertake.  Combined with the extensive cruising inventory, dinghy, outboard and numerous spare parts included in the sale, Magoo represents an outstanding opportunity to purchase a Bavaria 42 Cruiser that is genuinely equipped and ready for immediate cruising.
