Bavaria 42

The Bavaria 42 bluewater cruiser has a solid reputation as a comfortable and capable family cruiser. A large cockpit provides comfortable day sailing for crews of up to 8. At the helm, excellent visibility aids in ease of handling, while a dodger helps protect crew from the elements.

Designed to feel open and airy, the interior layout with inline galley and midship bench is well-thought out for entertaining and elbow room. Her high freeboards provide ample headroom for taller sailors below deck. Three cabins and a comfortable settee in the salon provide comfort for 6 to 7 crew to sleep aboard overnight.

The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.

I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.
