The Bavaria 42 Ocean Center Cockpit is an excellent two-person cruiser, and the owners of Sundance have spared little to the imagination outfitting her for long term cruising in mind.  

Descending the companionway, the roomy salon serves as a comfortable living room, dining room, and the heart of the boat.  Plenty of seating with a large L-shaped settee to port and straight settee to starboard can accommodate crowds for a pot luck diner at anchor, or stretching out to catch a nap or watch a movie.  The interior joinery is in great condition and there is lots of storage to be found.

The forward facing nav station to starboard is a great spot for the captain and crew to plot the next day's adventures and has storage to keep all the important paperwork and boat necessities at the ready.

The inline galley to port is tucked away so the chef has their space (and messes have their place). It has everything you need to prepare a quick meal while underway or an elaborate meal at anchor.  Lots of storage makes provisioning for extended cruises possible.

Through the galley is the main cabin with a centerline queen bed, great storage and lots of room to move around. Moving forward to starboard is the head with separate shower.  Forward is the second cabin featuring a v-berth and private head - perfect for guests or kids.

The Bavaria 42 Ocean CC is well set up for cruising or casual day sailing. The cockpit is an elevated, comfortable place to be, as is the aft deck, which is a perfect spot to watch the evening sun set. Bavaria hulls have an excellent reputation for strength and quality and this center cockpit design can actually sail pretty well too!
