Overview

Seaspray Yacht Sales is pleased to present a genuine opportunity for the discerning cruiser: a 2013 Bavaria Cruiser 36 that has been lovingly maintained as a full-time liveaboard by her original and only owner. Now, she is ready for her next chapter, currently lying in Langkawi.

 

This is the sought-after 2-cabin version, offering a spacious saloon and generous storage—a layout that liveaboards and long-term cruisers truly appreciate. While she has been lived aboard and enjoyed, she has also been cared for with consistency and pride.

 

The current owner has invested significantly in her reliability and comfort over the years, ensuring she is ready for her next adventure. This is not a "showroom queen"—it is an honest, well-maintained, single-owner liveaboard that has been upgraded with intention. All the major expenses have been handled. She simply needs a new owner to continue the journey.
