£262,000 Yacht Tour : Bavaria SR36

[@Themadhatton]

Just back from the hospital, sat on the bed and have never been so happy to see a new Aquaholic video. Thank you Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Wow, hope you are on the mend!

[@Anton-gd2kw]

So you're a doctor or a nurse?

[@stevemcfarland9533]

Why did you go to the hospital?

[@Themadhatton]

Had an assessment for surgery is all

[@L2HfT]

6:40 - the bottom window gives the impression that it is under the water. Imagine how cool would that be!

[@ImplantedMemories]

it is under water.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

A boat named after a "land locked" region in the middle of Germany shows brand confidence. And this fine craft is a great example of that ethos. Competitively priced for its class, the vessel is well appointed - thanks in part, to clever designs. A solid three season boat - and with the cockpit clad in zipped up canvas, this could also serve as a dock side winter get away. Oh, and with two staterooms and a large heads, it is ideal for two couples to share OR a family of four. Thanks, Bavaria and thank you Nick for a fun Tuesday tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you for watching! 🙂

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. A lovely 36ft cruiser. 2 good cabins and lower saloon. Spacious engine room. Great walkthrough video thanks 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@andycalvia]

Love that Bavaria, our old Bavaria 38 was solid and this looks very much the same. I love the concept of the table at the bathing platform and the accommodation on board is phenomenal. At £262,000 that is a great value weekender which with the correct configuration could be a good weekly cruiser. I love it.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

One of the best of 2022 for the brand new value for money factor, to be honest not many can beat this boat at this price point brand new, what a gem Nick, cheers !

[@laceyprine3354]

Nick was speed balling today....farewell from Biloxi Mississippi

[@ChrisDraussen]

Bavaria is not always a sign for quality, but yeah not so expensive. On the other hand... It is pretty good German design in my opinion.

[@debbiejudd4933]

Great way to spend a weekend. Thank you Nick.

[@MoultrieGeek]

Nick I am constantly amazed with how much room the manufacturers are able to utilize on these smaller yachts, that mid-cabin is enormous! What a brilliant use of space and having a nice sized head adds to the comfort. I can see this as a fantastic day boat and an occasional weekender for a couple or a small family. Nice!

[@ThePeacefulSerenityChannel]

You are such a positive and thoughtful person. I don't comment half as much as I should. But, we watch and 👍 every video. Thank you for the Inspiration for my own content, and for the simple but crucial enjoyment factor.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You are so kind

[@kutark]

Absolutely love the design of it, the contrast, the matte black counters on the galley, the wide decks. They really seem to have put a ton of thought into the idea that this boat is to be used. They're not trying to make it something it's not. It looks to me to be about as perfect of a weekender as it gets.

[@g9rud]

Some lovely innovations, really like the hull windows in the second cabin. Nice piece of kit. Well saved with the wine glass as well 🫣

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 😄

[@Boomerman36]

I feel we must tell you that the wife and I have developed an Aquaholic drinking game! When we watch your videos we raise a glass and drink on the following occasions. 1. When you wave to a mirror. 2. When you say "Getatable" 3. When you say "Thusly" (sp?) We are considering a 4th entry..When you knock something over!! Great fun of course and love your videos! Any suggestions for additions to our little game?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Someone once came up with an entire AQUAHOLIC Catch Phrase bingo card! 😄

[@moco_coco_999]

Have watched this one a few times now. I honestly think this is the best layout of a small yacht for a family of any Nick has looked at. Nothing ground breaking maybe, they've avoided compromising in all the important places and then executed really well. Impressive!

[@Orbiitoclast]

I love that boat, it is a manageable size and still lots of room and perfect for the kids!

[@Daveyengland]

There are just SO MANY of these videos on this channel… but I can’t get enough of them! Quality content, brilliant 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@danielamazing3264]

Always love new yachts, and I think Bavaria are heading in the right direction. I am also rather fond of the upholstery on this boat. Lovely tour as always Nick thanks!

[@shanehumberstone5262]

Now that is a hell of a lot of boat for the money,oh you do have the best job in the world

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I can't deny it... 😊

[@andrewhillier2734]

That is a great package! Really well laid out for its size! Great review. Thank you

[@br0ken_toast414]

Another great video from you Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ColinHarvey78]

Really nice boat. Would make a lovely family cruiser in the Mediterranean. Reminds me of family sailing holidays when we were growing up.

[@nickwebb9290]

That’s really nice, great layout and the quality looks very good. Like those rotary cabinet locks in the cockpit galley area too. So nice that you don’t edit out those ‘whoops-a-daisy’ moments 👍👍👍

[@faithful360]

Great video Nick - cabin 2 felt REALLY spacious for a 36 foot boat, that just felt much better than most sub 40 foot boats I've seen on this channel and that was a nice head to, just great design!!

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

And a massif thanks to Nick for bring us this nice summer boat from Bavaria this SR36 there from Palma the weather looks great there a very nice looking summer boat and a great show again Nick I like the layout 2 cabines sleep 5 let we say but also the dining down stairs great to reed a book there Thank you Nick for this nice show

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The cabins are unexpectedly nicely done!

[@darthkek1953]

Lovely boat and for those thinking this is still a bit out of their reach (and perhaps then some) this is the sort of class of boat that few years down the line starts to become very affordable whilst still very enjoyable. The downstairs coffee nook, the NOT wet-head, the aft seating on the deck. Very nice.

[@BillWalkerSD]

I'd call it a half-wet head, since the toilet is still in the part that gets wet. Not quite the same as a separate shower stall, but better than fully wet with a dripping curtain.

[@MicMokum]

There's surprisingly much space on this relatively small yacht. It looks amazing. Thanks for the tour! :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinbanham2429]

A smart little boat lot’s of space for a good day out or a long weekend. Thanks as always Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@masaiwhite5933]

Cracking wee boat to be honest.Thumbs up for layput.The price is excellent for these rough times.

[@emmettcotter1206]

Beautiful boat. Another excellent tour. You're a natural presenter.....entertaining yet informative and always manage to accurately communicate the layout of the boats

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@Lon1001]

Really good design on this, a lot of boat for a 36 footer, as you say ticks a LOT of boxes.

[@2490debrick]

Oooooh I do like this... 👍 Awesomeness 👌 Looks like lots of fun for a weekender and I agree looks incredibly easy to run! Great stuff!!!

[@timtownsend4151]

That is a lovely boat. Great design and finish as you would expect from Bavaria.. As ever, than you Nick for another great tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@rodwilliams4170]

Of all the drawers I’ve ever seen, that one next to the fridge………wow!! I could watch that drawer open and close all day long. Nice rest of boat too!!🤪

[@Niallisababe1]

This is a cute little number. Just enough space for even a week long adventure without feeling cramped

[@strider6920]

Cool yacht. Surprisingly decent sized cabins. Thanks Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamarie1972]

Nice size boat for weekend cruising. Beautiful day to show off a good looking Boat, cheers Nick

[@paulgolding1009]

A good family yacht or to have friends. Excellent price as well.

[@colingratwick9239]

Yes love it. 36ft is hatd to believe. Great tour Nick.

[@WillowGTI]

Really enjoyed this Bavaria. You can clearly see it's missing some of the luxury and creature comforts of your Fairlines, Sunseekers etc. But at this price point, you have all you need for a lovely little Weekender. I personally love these Bavaria's and Sealines. They are much more attainable. 👍

[@laceyprine3354]

He makes my day also...I done got addicted to his film that I get mad when he don't make one as as fast as other but it is worth the wait

[@nicomeier8098]

This boat from Bavaria? WOW, well done Bavaria!

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Always loved bavarias wide teak decks, dare I say it ‘classic Bavaria!’. I do miss their open models though

[@smokeymotorsport]

Great review as always, and a lovely boat. Some nice innovations, and it's good to see some design compromises being made, risks taken as it were - that chaise up next to the helm wouldn't do it for me, but it does make that second cabin much nicer for access and changing. The transom seating area is excellent though, really like that

[@markrutherford4962]

Great video as always, looking forward to seeing the enclosed version as well as one with the open plan downstairs….

[@robertcasto8790]

I liked the windows underwater in the second cabin. Imagine being at anchor and watching the reef below you in clarity.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It looks like it, but it's above the waterline

[@robertcasto8790]

@@AQUAHOLIC that's disappointing but still nice.

[@michaelbellsmith5113]

What a fantastic boat, thank you Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@Michel-de4dx]

This is a very nice weekend boat. Best price/quality I have seen so far

[@VirtanenDK]

Like the little dinette down, you could sit there with a cup of "Joe" in the morning, or before you go to bed. Thx for the tour Nick 👍🏼

[@steinandersen6648]

A fantastic layout and price for a boat this size. I d definately go for the canvas hardtop to increase the open sports boat feel. As always, very well presented Nick

[@bobuncle8704]

Nicely laid out. Really like the rear seating area

[@chizzlemo3094]

presumably options on the table top wood as that looks rough! Great cabin spaces

[@jkennett9104]

What a great little boat thanks Nick great tour as usual

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@tetrisgoat]

Very neat little bucket this, isn't it? Lovely. Would not have been ashamed to own one of these.

[@9VARZ]

Really like how Bavaria never seems to have abandoned their sailing yachts roots by putting one of the VHF units below deck!

[@DrCrabfingers]

Nice boat! I just can't like the stripey wood effect 5:54 that all small boats seem to have these days...it reminds me of MFI furniture and DIY touring vehicles. The high gloss solid walnut finish of older boats just seems to look better to me. It's all MDF anyway..it's just the finish was better in older boats.....to my mind anyway. Great boat though...I love it! Thanks for the tour Nick....you've created the best job in the world for yourself...well played!!

[@jacobandlisaevert711]

Nick, love your tours. Though I do believe you missed a pretty neat feature I haven’t noticed before in your tours of boats this size…Cabin #2 has windows below the waterline! It’d be like sleeping in an aquarium when out at anchor!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Actually it doesn't, although it does look a little like it in the video.

[@markwalsh8913]

Just love these size boats, seem to see much more innovation

[@matthewlynch5645]

Awwww you guys are my favourite couple that I've never met 😘

[@nicbennett6554]

Great boat for the money with plenty of neat touches. Impressive! I do wonder, when you say “I’ll edit that out later”, do you ever edit it out? Love seeing those bits, so do keep them in!! 😁

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Maybe... 😳

[@Kim_Jensen]

Thats a very interesting boat, its just amazing how much usable space this boat has. Thanks 😀

[@siraff4461]

Hi, Nick. I know its not your usual topic but how would you feel about doing a video on the reasoning behind prices? I'm genuinely interested to see what differences there are between a 1/4 million boat and the multi-million ones. Of course there is size but I think it goes a lot further than that and some of the expected features for a few price levels would be nice to see. Edit - maybe go all the way down to a RIB and work up to something with a helipad? Just food for thought.

[@ProductofNZ]

That incident gave me a fright haha! Besides that, what a great weekender. Thanks for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Me too! 😳

[@Guy-zf5of]

I've seen boats with the same size, half of these features and double the price. I don't know about SB3 but this is a very tempting option at least for me

[@paulgolding1009]

Editing forgotten again😂 Don’t bother just adds to the enjoyment of these videos. A very interesting yacht and options for it.

[@nolanrunciman5064]

Thoroughly enjoyable tour as ever Nick. I'm waiting for the first tour where the owner has put out plastic crockery 🤣

[@paulskinback717]

That'd be a great yacht for cruising round the UK in good review nick

[@barryrudge1576]

A much nice boat than the catamaran you showed us the other day this one is so much more practicable at considerably less cost. Cabins quite often look cramped with trying to pack so much in but with the galley location as is it makes for two cabins that are bigger than one would expect for the size of boat. If only I could win that lottery

[@randrewp]

Love the hull windows that are under water

[@AQUAHOLIC]

There aren't any hull windows under water (it does look a bit like there are though, I agree!)

[@stuartsutherland7664]

Clever use of space especially under the wheelhouse. Think I'd prefer some doors at the back though.

[@LScofield1]

Very nice boat. Thanks for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Greetings Nick Excellent tour. This is a very nice boat. Great cruiser or multi purpose vessel. Decent size and great visibility. Thanks for another lovely boat vid. Cheers

[@narwhalNL]

It's so cool that those windows in the midcabin are submerged under water! I hope it's not too difficult to keep clean though!

[@narwhalNL]

let me correct myself, its the reflection of the boats next to it hahahaha

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It does look a little like it in the video! But you're right, they are above the waterline.

[@jacktyler7599]

Quite novel in some respects...which means one needs to consider one's lifestyle afloat to see if it 'fits'. Hard to imagine how the back portion of the boat 'works' if it's closed off with glass door and glass panel. Thank you, Nick.

[@dougdavis8986]

Sweet. I wonder if anyone will ever use the chaise lounge by the helm? There has to be a better use for that space

[@itsallgonemad]

Absolutely superb boat Nick, great features, layout, styling & price too. Side decks look MASSIVE, perhaps they could have nabbed a bit more interior space instead but all-in-all, fabulous!!! 😃👋🏻

I dislike gas installation as well. Probably standard due to price, but since I spotted an optional Fischer Panda genny in the engine bay, upgrading to induction electric cooking should be simple I do love a Magma gas grill, and then the grill and gasbottle is always kept outdoor, in this boat in the storage below the aft facing seats.

[@clifbradley]

Nick trying to show us the impracticality of the below deck dinette option and did so brilliantly by knocking over a wine goblet that no doubt had it been on someone's boat for real, would have been Waterford or Versace Medusa, and several hundred dollars worth of tears down the pipe. Surely nobody who owns one of these boats knows of the inherent constant and sometimes unpredictable nature of boats rolling amongst the waves and turbulent seas and would get wine glasses made of Symglass, or Tritan. Oh the horror!

[@Strontium_Dog]

Another informative video, thanks. I've just seen an intriguing couple of boats, one called a Protector Targa 410 and the other is a Rayglass 3500. As you haven't featured many RIBs, I would be interested to see a video on the Targa.

Very interesting concept. It is a different concept than the Beneteau, but a practical and accomplished concept nonetheless. It remains to be seen what the market has to say about it, reflected in the sales, but the Bavaria stands its chance. Nice video.
