We are BAVARIA
One address. Every boat.
In 1978, the sailor Winfried Hermann converted a PVC window factory into a boat workshop. More than forty-five years later, the same address holds 200,000 m² of shipyard, four 125-metre production lines and around 700 boat builders, engineers and joiners.
We were the first shipyard to bring CNC systems to series boatbuilding. All the woodwork is done in our own joinery; each piece of wood receives up to six coats of paint on our own paint line. The principle has not changed: no boat leaves that we would not sail ourselves.
“Joy only comes with satisfaction — and satisfaction is only possible if the quality is right.”
