Bavaria 49 2003

Introducing Blue Cloud Lady, an extensively upgraded 2003 Bavaria 49 featuring a sought-after three-cabin owner layout, now available for sale at Ocean World Marina in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Designed by the renowned Slovenian studio J&J Design, the Bavaria 49 was built with serious cruising in mind, offering robust construction, ample living space, and user-friendly systems that make sailing, maintenance, and ownership a breeze. Over a thousand of these yachts have been crafted, establishing the model as one of the most popular cruising sailboats of its time, cherished by both private owners and charter guests alike. Currently registered with the US Coast Guard and docked at Ocean World Marina, this vessel offers three private double cabins, three heads, and a separate shower room below deck — ideal for family cruising, hosting guests, or extended liveaboard adventures. With Froli under-mattress systems to keep berths dry in tropical climates and air conditioning for added comfort at the dock or at anchor, every convenience is considered. The saloon is spacious and inviting, featuring a cozy settee, a stylish dining table, sideboard storage, and a well-equipped chart table perfect for navigation. The galley is designed for practical use whether at sea or at rest, boasting gimballed cooking, generous storage, and upgraded refrigeration. As envisioned by Bavaria and J&J, the 49 excels in usable volume, offering a feeling of spaciousness that accommodates long stays and passages comfortably. Blue Cloud Lady’s recent upgrades elevate her beyond standard offerings. On deck, thoughtful engineering highlights the features that made this model a bestseller. Twin leather-covered wheels allow for easy handling, with lines led aft to the cockpit, teak finishes on the cockpit seats and sole, a self-draining anchor locker equipped with an electric windlass, and a bathing platform with a boarding ladder, ensuring straightforward operation under both sail and power. The fractional sloop rig is set up for manageable sail handling, complete with a roller-furling mainsail, jib, and staysail, complemented by autopilot, bow thruster, and wind vane for confident short-handed sailing. Solar panels and Starlink satellite internet enhance her independence for Caribbean cruising and modern connectivity.
