Bavaria Ocean 47 CC Buyer's Guide
The Bavaria Ocean 47 CC is a center-cockpit cruiser built by Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH and designed by J&J Design at the end of the 1990s, with fewer than 100 completed. For a shopper on the brokerage market, the model presents as a solid-fiberglass, fin-keeled masthead sloop of just over 48 feet whose draft runs 6.56 to 6.86 feet loaded — a figure that shapes where she can berth.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both configurations are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The center-cockpit arrangement places the helm amid-ships, leaving distinct fore and aft cabin volumes. Ex-charter history is worth noting because those boats may show higher cycle counts on systems and rigging than privately owned sisters.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Power and energy systems on these boats commonly include an inverter, solar, lithium batteries, and a bow thruster, with autopilot, radar, AIS, and chartplotter also commonly fitted — a suite that means most buyers will inherit usable navigational and electrical foundations. Often-seen comfort and sail-handling additions include air conditioning, heating, a furling main, electric winches, and a short-handed setup, which together suggest many examples left the fleet already adapted for couples' cruising. A bimini, dodger, and cockpit shower are frequent, as are safety items like an EPIRB and life raft.
What to Inspect
A buyer's survey should follow normal used-yacht diligence rather than chasing a known weak point. Confirm the loaded draft against the specific boat's condition, since the 6.56 to 6.86 foot figure varies with load anchor, and check the solid-fiberglass hull and deck for usual osmotic or impact issues inherent to the material rather than any documented model-specific fault.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in the United Kingdom, United States, Turkey, Netherlands, and Tunisia. For a buyer, the checklist is straightforward: verify the layout and ex-charter history, confirm the core power and navigation equipment are operational, and budget for the draft when choosing a berth.
