Bavaria C38 sailboat – Zadar

Boat Overview

We’ve been advising sailing guests around the Adriatic for many years, and the Bavaria C38 in Zadar is one of those boats that simply feels right for a relaxed, well-organized charter. This is a modern sailboat built in 2024, designed for comfort under sail and for confident handling when the wind changes. We recommend it especially for groups who want three proper cabins and still have room to breathe.

The layout is practical: it accommodates 6 berths in cabins, plus 2 additional berths if you need flexibility. With 3 cabins and 2 toilets, our guests typically find morning routines smooth—no scrambling, no waiting. Length overall is 11.31 m with a beam of 3.98 m, a size that’s big enough for onboard comfort yet manageable for a professional crew or experienced skipper.

Based on our experience, Zadar is an excellent starting point for coastal cruising. From here, you can plan day sails, sunset stops, and quick hops along the islands while staying within easy reach of services. Actually, we’ve noticed that the combination of a newer build and reliable equipment reduces “small surprises” during the week!

For safety and convenience, we state with certainty that the Bavaria C38 is equipped for real charter use. You’ll find essentials such as an automatic inflatable life jacket system, life belts and jackets, and navigation support like VHF radio and GPS chart plotter. For day comfort aboard, there’s air conditioning, heating, hot water, and a cockpit shower—nice touch after swimming. The electric anchor windlass and autopilot also make the sailing feel calmer; the boat tracks steadily, and you can focus on the route. And yes—our guests love the bathing platform and the easy-to-use boarding setup. Ready for Zadar? We think you’ll enjoy how smoothly this sailboat works in practice!
