YACHT DESCRIPTION

Clever concept.

The jury said: "European Yacht of the Year 2015". We say: that comes as no surprise! That is because you would be hard pressed to find another sailing yacht in its class that offers more space, more comfort, more luxury if you want it, and is also this easy to handle. One special feature: if you would like to make 4 cabins out of the 3-cabin version, the huge forward cabin can be transformed into two smaller cabins in just a few steps. Clever and innovative – like everything from BAVARIA.

The yacht of your dreams with many possibilities and an unbelievable spaciousness. No matter if 3 or 4 cabins, the CRUISER 46 is a bestseller.

Relax together with the family or cruise over the sea with friends. The CRUISER 46 has the perfect dimensions for short or long trips.

Why Choose the Bavaria CR46?

⛵ Sailing Performance and Handling

Balanced for fast cruising with responsive helm and efficient sail plan
Jeanneau 490 is agile but less suited for offshore passages
Catalina 445 offers solid stability but lacks modern hull dynamics

📐 Interior Volume & Layout Flexibility

Wide beam and optimized hull design by Cossutti deliver exceptional interior space
Multiple layout options: 3 or 4 cabins, 2 or 3 heads—ideal for private owners or charter fleets
Modern, spacious interior surpasses Catalina’s more traditional layout

🛠️ Construction & Engineering Superiority

Vacuum-infused hull with integrated bulkheads and furniture for rigidity and weight savings
Lead keel standard—better ballast efficiency and corrosion resistance than cast iron
Twin rudders for enhanced control and balance under heel

💰 Value & Resale

Premium features at a lower price point than Beneteau and Jeanneau
Strong resale value in Europe and charter markets
Catalina holds value well in the US but lacks global charter appeal
