Bavaria 37 Cruiser

Boat Overview

This beautiful Bavaria Cruiser 37, designed by Farr Yacht Design USA, has been lovingly cared for by her one and only owner. She is the popular two cabin Owner's version, which benefits from the larger heads compartment, a real chart table, and a cavernous aft cockpit locker. Kalami has been highly spec'd and boasts many extras including the uprated Volvo Penta D1-30, Side-Power bow thruster, Webasto AirTop warm air heating, and the superb Bavaria DuraDeck on the cockpit, bathing platform, and side decks, giving all the warm appearance of teak with virtually zero maintenance.
