Bavaria 43 Cruiser

A rugged and comfortable cruising sailing yacht that blends performance with comfortable live-aboard amenities. It was designed to be easy to handle for cruising couples and families while offering generous interior space.

“Allura” is a spacious and well-appointed cruising yacht, offering an excellent balance of performance and comfort.

Featuring three double cabins and two heads, she provides generous accommodation for family cruising or hosting guests. “Allura” is very well equipped and has benefited from numerous upgrades in recent years, ensuring she is presented in ready-to-sail condition.

Her comprehensive sail wardrobe includes a spinnaker and cruising chute, giving versatility and strong performance across a range of conditions.

Under power, she is fitted with a Volvo Penta D2-55 saildrive engine with a 3 blade feathering propeller, delivering efficient cruising and smooth manoeuvrability. A bow thruster further enhances ease of handling in tight quarters.
