On the first weekend in February, BAVARIA YACHTS in Giebelstadt and more than twenty BAVARIA YACHTS dealers worldwide opened their doors for the INTERNATIONAL BAVARIA YACHTS SHOWROOM WEEKEND. More than 200 customers and owners accepted the invitation to the shipyard near Würzburg.

In addition to the presentation of the new BAVARIA SR35 OPTEN TOP and BAVARIA VIDA motorboats, BAVARIA YACHTS showed it’s new hardtop for the BAVARIA C46 for the first time.

Right on time on Saturday 1st February at 10 am, the first cars arrived in front of the Yachten Meltl showroom in Bernau. Many customers took the opportunity get a view on the sailing yachts from BAVARIA YACHTS together with the team from Yachten Meltl and the experts for charter and yacht investment from Nautic Alliance. The Saal Marina at the Danube, Bavaria Norge in Oslo, Evasion in the south of France and all other participating dealers reported a full house on Saturday.

At the BAVARIA YACHTS shipyard, many customers had already been given a tour of the production facilities on Friday and by the weekend it was really crowded. Over 200 guests were counted by sunday evening. In addition to the shipyard itself, visitors focused on the sailing and motor boats on display in the showroom.

In addition to the sprayhood and bimini top, BAVARIA YACHTS is offering a hardtop as a new option on the price list for its larger sailing yachts BAVARIA C46, C50 and C57 for the new season. The elegant GRP hardtop has a large fabric sliding roof so that a clear view of the sails is always guaranteed. In the event of wind and spray from the front, the front part of the hardtop is fitted with a fabric windscreen and thus offers the same protection as a sprayhood.

In the harbour, the camper cover with large viewing windows quickly and easily transforms the hardtop into a comfortable protective space in the cockpit. The solar panels on the hardtop provide additional battery charging.

In the motorboat segment, BAVARIA YACHTS presented the BAVARIA VIDA with a new cockpit layout and new Suzuki engines for the first time. The BAVARIA VIDA has also changed a lot below deck. In the layout with a large sun lounger on the foredeck, the berth in the cabin has grown to 2.10 metres in length and over 2 metres in width.

In addition to the classic hardtop version, BAVARIA YACHTS is starting the new year with an OPEN TOP version of its successful BAVARIA SR35. A lowered windscreen gives the BAVARIA SR35 a real open feeling and therefore even more driving pleasure.

“In cooperation with our dealers in Europe and North America, the INTERNATIONAL BAVARIA YACHTS SHOWROOM WEEKEND was a complete success that we will certainly repeat. When else do you have the opportunity to talk to customers in a relaxed atmosphere and clarify specific questions directly on the boat,” reports BAVARIA YACHTS CEO Michael Müller.

But before a new Showroom Weekend is planned, BAVARIA YACHTS and its dealer network have the spring boat shows in Tulln, St. Malo and Neustadt, for example, and a trial sail for customers of Yachts Meltl in Croatia at the beginning of April on the agenda.
