51 CRUISER

With the new Bavaria 51 Cruiser, Bavaria has continued their concept of making a good thing better. Based on the success of the 50 Cruiser, the new Bavaria 51 Cruiser has an expanded cockpit, longer cockpit seats, a larger cockpit table and full-width swim platform. The newly designed interior of the 51 Cruiser with large owner’s stateroom, open layout and elegant dinette area, allows for gracious entertaining or casual relaxation.
51 Cruiser Sail Plan Refined power is probably the best way to describe this incredible performer from Bavaria. Sleek lines and exterior styling make the Bavaria Cruiser 51 a head turner in any anchorage. Easy stern boarding from the full-width swim platform provides access to a spacious and comfortable cockpit that is certain to be the central party location in any raft-up.

Cast off and the easily handled sail plan will instantly provide you with an exhilarating sailing experience regardless of the conditions. Hull lines that look so elegant at anchor now prove their true potential endowing this no-nonsense cruiser with a gentle motion and a sense of security that make you want to press the limits of your cruising horizons.

Below decks, the interior styling is fresh and alive, while still supplying the functionality that any true long distance cruiser must provide. In four or five cabin layouts, The Cruiser 51 boast three beautifully appointed heads, gourmet galley, and a dinette area that accommodates any entertaining with comfort and ease. The large navigation area provides for easily visible instrumentation and a work area that will handle full-sized charts.

Building on the success of its predecessors, the Bavaria Cruiser 51 is indeed worthy of the accolades
it receives.
