Bavaria 49 · 2003

Ubicación: Puerto Plata, República Dominicana Blue Cloud Lady is an extensively upgraded 2003 Bavaria 49 in the desirable three-cabin owner layout, offered for sale from Ocean World Marina in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Designed by the Slovenian studio J&J Design at the height of their partnership with Bavaria Yachtbau, the Bavaria 49 was engineered as a true 50-footer for serious cruising: robust construction, generous accommodation, and systems meant to be sailed, maintained, and owned without drama. More than a thousand of these yachts were built — a production success that cemented the model as one of the most popular and proven cruising sailboats of its era, equally favored by private owners and charter guests. She is US Coast Guard registered and currently located at Ocean World Marina, Puerto Plata. Below decks she offers three private double cabins, three heads, and a separate shower room — the classic owner arrangement for family cruising, guests, or extended liveaboard use. Froli under-mattress systems help keep berths dry in the tropics, and air conditioning is aboard for comfort at the dock or at anchor. The saloon is open and inviting, with a comfortable settee, a well-styled dining table, sideboard stowage, and a proper chart table with room for charts and instruments. The galley is arranged for real use at sea and at rest, with gimballed cooking, abundant stowage, and upgraded refrigeration. As designed by Bavaria and J&J, the 49’s strength is usable volume: a yacht that feels larger than her length, with living spaces that work for long stays as well as passages. That is the foundation Blue Cloud Lady builds on — and her recent upgrades push her well beyond a stock boat. On deck she shows the thoughtful engineering that made this model a bestseller. Twin leather-covered wheels, lines led aft to the cockpit, teak on the cockpit seats and sole, a self-draining anchor locker with electric windlass, and a bathing platform with boarding ladder make her straightforward to handle under sail or power. The fractional sloop rig is set up for manageable sail handling. Blue Cloud Lady is equipped with a roller-furling mainsail, jib, and staysail, supported by autopilot, bow thruster, and wind vane for confident short-handed sailing. Solar panels and Starlink extend her independence for Caribbean cruising and modern connectivity.
