Bavaria 370
Description
The Bavaria 370 (also known as the Bavaria 370 Lagoon or Caribic in some markets/variants) is a well-regarded family cruising sailboat from Bavaria Yachts in Germany, produced primarily in the early to mid-1990s (around 1991–1995). It's a step up from the smaller Bavaria models (300, 320, 350), offering more length, beam, volume, and offshore capability while maintaining Bavaria's signature emphasis on spacious interiors, practical layout, and good value. Designed for comfortable coastal and longer cruises, it's praised for solid build, easy handling (even short-handed), and a balanced sailing performance that's forgiving yet responsive. Variants include the Lagoon (often with enhanced teak/woodwork) and Caribic (slightly different fit-outs), but core specs are consistent.
