Bavaria SR33 yacht tour: First look at this compact and classy newcomer
- Top stories
- yacht tours
Reporting from the 2023 Boot Düsseldorf Boat Show, MBY editor Hugo Andreae takes us on a full tour of the Bavaria SR33, which was making its global debut...
The new sterndrive-propelled Bavaria SR33 features the same distinctive ‘open-with-hardtop’ formula developed to such good effect for the Bavaria SR41 and Bavaria SR36 .
Designed to offer the sportiness of Bavaria’s S-Line with the superior comfort and luxury of the R-Line, it has proved a big hit both with dealers and customers.
Based on a MiCad deep-vee hull, with styling inside and out by Marco Casali, the new Bavaria SR33 is a Cat B/C design with what appears to be substantial freeboard for its length.
In fact, all the dimensions seem to be unusually generous with an LOA of 37ft 5in (including bathing platform) and a maximum beam of 11ft 4in. As with its larger SR siblings, it features a hard top with sunroof and a distinctive aft-facing transom dinette that converts to a sunpad.
Inside the cockpit itself there’s a second, larger dinette to port opposite a wet bar with a chaise longue and helm station forward.

Below decks, there is sleeping space for up to five people, but whereas the SR36 has two separate double cabins and a lower saloon, the Bavaria SR33 only has one separate double cabin aft of the companionway steps.
The forward double is open plan to the saloon seating, which itself converts to an occasional fifth berth with the aid of a drop-down table and infill cushion. The heads and shower compartment remains to starboard.
Bavaria is still in discussion with Volvo and Mercruiser over propulsion options, but the show model was fitted with twin 250hp inboard engines.

BAVARIA SR33
Space for infinite adventures, the latest premiere of the successful sr-line.
With the BAVARIA SR33, BAVARIA YACHTS introduce another model of their successful SR-LINE for the 2023 season, following the SR41 and the SR36. As with all motor yachts of the BAVARIA SR-LINE, the focus during development was on creating space for life on deck. Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33 impresses with a well-thought-out room layout, providing generous space for four people.
The BAVARIA SR33 clearly follows the design philosophy of the SR-LINE
As with the sister ships of the SR-LINE, the BAVARIA SR33’s design and lines come from the famous Italian yacht designer Marco Casali and his team. The concept, layout and engineering are, of course, from BAVARIA’s experienced development team. The 11.40 m long and 3.46 m wide hull was optimised for rapid, safe handling characteristics by the experts from the naval architecture office Micad. Double engines from Volvo Penta and Mercruiser of 500 to 700 HP provide powerful yet economical propulsion.

First look: Bavaria C46 – proven concept, bigger size
- Theo Stocker
- February 10, 2023
The new Bavaria C46 follows hot on the heels of an impressive C38 and C42, and should deliver plenty of volume below without sacrificing sailing comfort
Product Overview
We tested the latest Bavaria C45 in 2018, which at the time was the first Cossutti designed Bavaria in that size range. Just five years later, Bavaria are bringing out a boat just one foot longer, although for the time being they say that the older boat will remain in the lineup.
The Bavaria C46 will follow in the footsteps of the Bavaria C38 and Bavaria C42 in maximising hull volume with full-length hull chines and a wide beam of 4.7m carried all the way aft. The hull is controlled with a single, deep and balanced spade rudder, and seakindliness is improved by a v-bow section in the forefoot – a concept that appeared to work well when I tested the C38, making the Bavaria C46’s smaller sister engaging and enjoyable to sail despite the large volume.
Where the new Bavaria C46 really shines, however, is the sheer amount of space and accommodation on board. The only fixed point of the accommodation is the saloon and galley, with C-shaped seating around a table to starboard with a bench seat amidships, and a large C-shaped galley along the hull side to port. Aft of the galley is a forward facing chart table – these are making their way back onto boats as remote working from on board is now commonplace.
Plenty of volume makes for a very spacious interior.
This is where the options kick in. The boat comes in three, four, or five cabin layouts, with either one or two double cabins forwards. The fifth comes from replacing the heads and shower compartment starboard aft with a bunk cabin, meaning two families of five could comfortably sail together.
For those looking to cruise without so many guests, the port heads and chart table can be replaced with a utility room, making space for washing machines and dryers, as well as ample stowage space for tools or as a wet locker.
If you go for the four double cabin layout, you can also have en suite heads for every cabin. Some of these layouts will appeal more for charter companies, but the drawings look like Bavaria have got the heart of the boat right, and highly practical.
On deck, the cockpit is wider than it is long, with L-shaped seats on either side around either one or two cockpit tables, which convert to sunpads. Most lines are led aft to the helm stations, though some options have coaming-top genoa winches. Genoa car tracks are mounted on the coachroof for a fine sheeting angle.
There isn’t an option to have boom-end mainsheet attachment sadly, but otherwise this all looks like a sensible and easily-handled boat.

The C46: a new Bavaria by Cossutti Yacht Design
Bavaria Yachts announce an impressive addition to their C-LINE sailing yachts for 2023. The new BAVARIA C46 sets a new standard in its class and is a yacht that combines long-standing BAVARIA strengths with new features, offering a convincing combination for the most diverse requirements on board. Like all C‐LINE models, the C46 was created in cooperation between the Bavaria development team and our studio.
After the C57 , C45 , C50 , C38 and C42 our collaboration with BAVARIA YACHTS is going to present the next evolution. For the new BAVARIA C46, the C-LINE concept has been further developed and re-interpreted in all areas. For example, the characteristic features of the hull design with the typical BAVARIA V-bow and chines , which not only give the BAVARIA C46 impressive sailing characteristics , but also create more light space and living comfort below deck in the saloon as well as the cabins.
BAVARIA YACHTS will present further details about the BAVARIA C46 early next year at Boot 2023 .
The BAVARIA C46 sets new standards in the combination of ample room, excellent sailing characteristics and innovative solutions. She combines the typical generous BAVARIA space on board and the proven Made‐in‐Germany solidity with even more sailing performance and greater comfort on board. The distinctive chines at the stern and the BAVARIA V‐bow have already given the BAVARIA C38 and C42 exceptionally good and fast sailing characteristics.
We have applied this design philosophy again to the 14.86 meters long and 4.70 meters wide hull of the C46. As a result, this new yacht possesses agile steering, converts the wind even faster into boat speed and, at the same time, allows for maximally large cabins in the stern and foreship. Thus, space and sailing pleasure are a winning combination on the BAVARIA C46. .
. “After the presentation of the C38 and C42, which was also named the 2021 European Yacht of the Year, our customers have very clearly signaled to us that they look forward to a quick continuation of the concept. Therefore, we have put all our energy into the further development of the concept and are now in a position to present our customers the BAVARIA C46 with its convincing solutions” explains Marc Diening, CEO of BAVARIA YACHTS .
Whether relaxed and safe sailing with a small crew, single‐handed sailing or cruising with a large crew with sporting ambitions – the BAVARIA C46 offers all the necessary options for pure sailing pleasure with six optional winch positions, well over 100 square meters of sail area on the wind and optional Gennaker and Code 0.
From the very spacious cockpit, the sun loungers on the foredeck or after a relaxing time on the large bathing platform, you can quickly get into the water. Heavy but useful water sports equipment is always stored within reach in the BAVARIA B-BOX, so that the hours at anchor or in water can be enjoyed in a relaxed way by the entire crew.
Decades of experience on coastal and long‐distance cruises have shaped further smart options on board. Customers can choose from various layouts ranging from 3 to 5 cabins, including a 4‐cabin layout with 4 in‐suite heads or a 3‐cabin layout with an additional separate room at the companionway. This can be used, for example, as a storage and tool room or as a directly accessible locker for wet oilskins. A full navigation station is always on board with the BAVARIA C46.
“The requirements for a sailing yacht around 15 meters are much more versatile today and can no longer simply be divided into classic categories such as performance or family cruiser, charter or owner’s yacht. During the development of the BAVARIA C46, the focus was solely on what offers our customers real added value on board. And when looking for the right solution, detail by detail, we were able to disprove supposed necessary compromises in many places. With the BAVARIA C46, we have found the balance that customers expect from a sailing yacht of this size with many well‐thought‐out solutions” reports Marc Diening.
In the first half of 2023, the BAVARIA C46 will do her first test sails. Further details about the BAVARIA C46 will be presented at Boot 2023 in Dusseldorf from January 21st to 29th.
BAVARIA C46 – Technical Data:
Length overall (LMAX) = 14.860 m Length of the hull (LH) = 13.950 m Length of the waterline (LWL) = 13.315 m Beam of the hull (BH) = 4.700 m Maximum draught (TMAX) = 2.30 m Projected sail area (AS) = 125 m2
