The Bavaria Cruiser 33 is an ideal family cruiser.  Easy to sail with rewarding performance and a comfortable layout for easy living below deck, it's no wonder that they remain so popular.  This excellent well-specified example has been carefully used and well maintained by her knowledgeable owner with sensible upgrades to improve the experience afloat.  She ticks all the boxes with Coppercoat antifouling, shallow draft, bow thruster, in-mast furling, electric windlass, a full electronics package and central heating.
