The boat was originally purchased by first owner in UK and sailed in that area the first two years. In 2010 the previous owner bought hear and sailed mainly summertime along the coast of Great Britain. Current owner bought her and sailed te English Chanel to France and across the Bay of Biscay to Spain and the beautiful Galicia on the Atlantic coast to Portugal. She is now on a permanent berth Lagos, Portugal and have here mainly sailed daytrips on the beautiful coast of Algarve. She has proven her strength in both longer overnight sailtrips on open water and also coastal waters for day and weekend trips. The Bavaria 34 been proven the perfect and cost optimal size for both longer trips and for day/vacation use. The current owner now wish to upgrade to larger vessel for Blue Water Cruising and live aboard and therefore let her on to new owners. The contract for the berth in Marina de Lagos can follow with the boat if required.

The boat is today registered in UK, and new owner therefore have pay VAT/IVA in Portugal if new owner want to register boat in EU.
