Profile/competences

Core competencies

Since 1978 Bavaria yachts have been synonymous with premium quality, solid and lasting values as well as an outstanding price-performance ratio. More than 3.000 motor and sailing yachts per year leave the shipyard ranking among the world?s largest and most successful yacht manufacturers. The shipyard has one of the most state-of-the-art series production facilities for sailing yachts worldwide. From hull lamination to final delivery, our yachts pass various assembly stations covering a distance of more than six kilometres. Bavaria applies standards that are considerably more rigorous than required by law. The GL Yacht Plus Certification, a voluntary yet strict certification process that far exceeds EU requirements offering an even greater degree of security, can be taken as an example.

Bavaria Yachts USA Open Atlanta HQ

Yachting Journal

The new Atlanta office is located in Atlanta's Midtown district, front and centers on Peachtree Street, the city's busiest thoroughfare. This location will serve as the company's national corporate headquarters, and a satellite sales location, as well as a "Port of Call" for Bavaria owners residing in, or visiting Atlanta, says Bavaria. "We are excited to continue our expansion across the U.S.," explains Kenny Feld, Managing Director of Bavaria Yachts USA, "we have been energized and humbled by the eager reception of U.S. boat buyers for Bavaria Yachts' premium quality and performance cruising sailboats, as well as our innovative factory-direct sales and owner support approach." Mr. Feld will be based in the new Atlanta location. The company opened its flagship Sales and Service location in the heart of Annapolis, Maryland in June of 2011, followed by its Mystic, Connecticut location in 2012 to serve the New England region, and the first West Coast location recently opened in late 2013 in San Diego, California. The opening of a fifth U.S. location is already in progress, another announcement will be coming this summer. About the Company Bavaria Yachts has been one of Europe's top-producing boat builders for 36 years. All Bavaria Yachts are built in a single, state-of-the-art factory in Northern Bavaria, Germany. Two sailing yacht model ranges are offered: the Vision Series (42 and 46), and the Cruiser Series (6 models ranging from 33' - 56'). http://www.bavariayachts.com/sailing-yachts.php

Bavaria Yachts

article-jpg

Yachts estranged from any navigable waters sounds perplexing at first. But the answer lies in Bavaria Yachts’ history; because revolution often happens where you least expect it. Bavaria Yachts, located in the small town of Giebelstadt in Würzburg, has not always manufactured yachts. With no navigable waters in sight, Winfried Herrmann’s idea to turn his company for plastic windows into a top-notch shipyard sprung from seeing a grand opportunity for true innovation. In 1978, Herrmann realised his ambitious plan and started to specialise in building yachts. The primary difference to other shipyards? Herrmann’s optimised manufacturing process.

Yachts customized for the yacht charter market

Experts from Bavaria Yachts Shipyard and Booking Manager team of professionals have a long-lasting bond of cooperation, resulting in Bavaria sailing yacht fleet that is now ideally suited to the needs of the yacht charter market. Not only are their yachts tailored by the market's latest trends , but they are an example of the perfect comfort and aesthetics mix.

Keeping up with the clients' needs has never been easier, due to numerous marketing research that Booking Manager does along with detailed statistics and a summary of its current state with feasible future tendencies. With that kind of up-to-date feedback from charter customers, Bavaria embodies a passion for sailing with engineering ingenuity to make their vessels customized for charter needs. Furthermore, Booking Manager provides their partners with information such as extras that are wanted by the customers, do they need an extra bed in the saloon or an additional cabin. Moreover, the Booking by Type part of the report can determine which type of yacht is high in demand; Catamaran, Sailing or Motor Yacht, and thus generate insightful information for the production planning. We can also notice the trend of renting sailing yachts up to 40 feet and see why Bavaria Shipyard focused their production on the new C38. On one hand, we have a Market Report stating which models of boats were bookable the most, and on the other, we have all that info deployed by the country, the brand, boats age and number of cabins.
