1990 Bavaria 38 L

Bavaria Lagoon 38 - JEN et ROSS

The Bavaria Lagoon 38 is one of the earlier designs from the boat-building powerhouse. Built in a traditional fashion, it features a sleek hull with a spacious and well-protected cockpit. Below decks, the open plan interior features a saloon offset to port with a linear galley to starboard. The master cabin forward benefits from an en-suite heads. Aft, there are two symmetrical aft cabins with a second head to starboard, aft of the galley.
