Carmen of Zabbar is an exceptionally well-maintained 2001 Bavaria 44, representing everything that has made this German-built cruiser one of the most respected yachts in her class. Designed for comfortable offshore passagemaking and effortless liveaboard cruising, she combines solid construction, refined sailing performance and an impressive list of modern upgrades, making her a genuine turnkey bluewater cruiser.
Lovingly owned by the same owner since new, Carmen of Zabbar has benefited from meticulous care and continual investment throughout her life. A major upgrade programme has transformed her into a highly capable modern cruiser, including a near-new Volvo Penta D55 engine installed in 2018 with only around 705 hours, new standing rigging, renewed sails, upgraded electronics, retractable bow thruster, Fischer Panda generator and a fully electric galley. Every major system has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the quality and practicality that Bavaria is renowned for.
Under sail, Carmen of Zabbar is both responsive and rewarding. Her fractional sloop rig, in-mast furling mainsail, furling genoa and FeatherStream feathering propeller deliver efficient performance whether cruising offshore or enjoying relaxed coastal passages. The retractable bow thruster and twin-wheel steering make close-quarters manoeuvring simple, while her substantial 100-metre anchor chain and electric windlass provide confidence when anchoring in deeper waters.
Below deck, the redesigned saloon blends timeless Bavarian craftsmanship with modern functionality. The spacious four-cabin layout comfortably accommodates family and guests, while the fully electric galley features an induction cooktop, combi oven, generous refrigeration and abundant storage — ideal for extended cruising without relying on LPG. Air conditioning, heating, watermaker, generator and Starlink connectivity further enhance onboard comfort and independence wherever your adventures take you.
Currently lying in Kotor, Montenegro, Carmen of Zabbar is UK flagged, UK VAT paid, with her marina berth already paid through June 2027. Beautifully presented, comprehensively equipped and ready to cruise immediately, she offers an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a proven bluewater yacht with exceptional ownership history and nothing left to spend.
