2002 Bavaria Cruiser 50 — Veritas

This 2002 Bavaria 50 has been a comfortable and capable home for a cruising family, with a generous 5 cabin 3 head layout that truly makes life at sea easy. Three double cabins, two single cabins, and a converted laundry room mean everyone has their own space.

She is powered by the dependable Volvo TMD22 turbo diesel with straight shaft and bronze prop.

Inside, she’s set up for real living with multiple 12V fridges, a gimbaled stove and propane system, a new washer, and a freshly rebuilt Schenker watermaker ready to go!

Her navigation and safety gear are equally reassuring: Raymarine C120 plotter, P70S autopilot, AIS650, radar, dual VHFs, Dragonfly sonar, and a bow thruster that makes tight marinas simple. 

Upgraded lithium batteries (942 Ah), 1,350 W of solar, a 2000 W inverter, and modern charge controllers keep the boat powered comfortably.

On deck you’ll find a 20 kg Delta anchor on a Lofrans windlass, secondary anchors, new 2025 canvas including bimini, dodger, and stackpack, a 10-man liferaft, stern shower, and spare dinghy davits. Standing rigging was replaced in 2021 for peace of mind. A Highfield dinghy with a 20 hp Tohatsu rounds out the package.

She’s a boat set up for real cruising and long stays aboard, with the systems, upgrades, and storage to match.
