Bavaria C38 offers a distinctly Mediterranean way to cruise from Zadar: active mornings, a long pause near Žut and room for everybody to find their own pace. The boat works best when the plan leaves space for a change of mind. With room for 8 people, 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, it works particularly well for a relaxed party focused on swimming, rest and good food. The route between Žut, Kornati and Levrnaka can change without losing its appeal when wind or mood suggests another pace.

The starting price is €2,500/week. A simple list of inclusions and extras, particularly fuel, cleaning, harbours and skipper, keeps the final day free from avoidable questions about payment.
The personality of Bavaria C38 appears when its proportions meet the plan: 11,31 m in length, 3,98 m in beam and an opening passage towards Žut. On this 2024 sailing yacht, a relaxed party focused on swimming, rest and good food can shape the day around cruising and swimming, keeping Levrnaka for conditions that truly invite a longer stage.
The waters around Zadar allow the day to be shaped as it unfolds. If Žut is busy, an alternative can be chosen before continuing to Kornati; when the wind helps, Levrnaka extends the route. A comfortable return remains part of the plan.
Bavaria C38 measures 11,31 m by 3,98 m. Those proportions are welcome during the stay, especially when sharing the deck, and worth remembering on the approach to Kornati. With a draft of 1,65-2,05 m depending on keel, shelter is chosen according to depth and actual conditions.
Life on board is organised around 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms. For a party of up to 8 people, common areas are best kept for meals and rest, with luggage inside the cabins. That leaves the cockpit and deck passages clear from the departure in Zadar.
With a flexible plan and a careful handover, Bavaria C38 is enjoyable from the first manoeuvre. Žut, Kornati and Levrnaka are possibilities; the measure of the trip is returning to Zadar rested and eager to go again.

For a short outing, Žut brings enough change of scenery without consuming the day in transfers. Bavaria C38 remains at anchor for lunch, swimming and rest. The return begins in daylight and ends calmly, with luggage away from the passages.
When the forecast opens a stable window, Žut can begin a longer stage towards Kornati. The group keeps a sheltered alternative and a decision time. That discipline does not reduce freedom; it protects an easy return to Zadar.
With provisions already stowed below, lines, fenders and documents are located before the engine starts. In the opening miles on Bavaria C38, lunch can wait until a genuinely comfortable bay appears. If the wind changes during the afternoon, a nearby alternative preserves good humour and a daylight arrival. The final conversation of the day often begins on deck; everybody puts belongings away and common areas feel open again.
As the harbour wakes around Bavaria C38, every guest finds a place without filling the cockpit with bags. As the water opens near Žut, one person keeps watch while another checks position and the next mark. If Kornati looks busy on arrival, depth, swinging room and the morning exit matter more than reputation. A night near Kornati is more enjoyable; the crew discovers that slow travel can still feel far-reaching.
The first morning in Zadar works best without a rush; the party shares jobs and keeps the deck passages clear. During the passage towards Žut, conversation gives way to quiet moments watching the horizon. When choosing between Kornati and Levrnaka, shortening the stage often creates a fuller afternoon aboard. After swimwear and loose equipment are collected, water, batteries and weather are checked for an easy start.
An early coffee leaves room to study the forecast; the crew discusses the route and keeps one simple alternative. Once Zadar begins to fall astern, the deck feels better when it is not a permanent corridor. When the party wants more swimming and fewer miles, an updated forecast makes a change of plan feel entirely normal. As evening settles over Bavaria C38, one well-chosen stop matters more than a long list.

Handover is the best time to walk through Bavaria C38 calmly and connect each item with a real situation. Nobody needs to memorise everything: several people should know where essential equipment is kept, how it is left after use and whom to call if something differs from the agreement.
With these references clear, Bavaria C38 is easier to share. The crew can change the stage between Žut and Levrnaka without losing time to searches, and handover in Zadar becomes more orderly.
Every plan for Bavaria C38 needs a sheltered version. It may reduce distance, use the other side of an island or replace an anchorage with a harbour. The alternative still contains real sailing, swimming or time ashore, so it feels complete rather than improvised. The forecast is checked before departure and again while under way. With that clear, the crew can concentrate on cruising instead of solving last-minute doubts.
From €2,500/week

A very complete plan: morning passage, relaxed lunch and beautiful evening light before returning aboard.

We travelled as a family and appreciated the unhurried route. The children loved the swimming and the adults enjoyed a long afternoon on board.
