A practical look at Bavaria C38 before setting a course for Žut — an approach designed for sailors looking for several days of independence

  • Maximum capacity: 8 people approx.
  • Cabins: 3
  • Bathrooms: 2

Under way, the dimensions of Bavaria C38 create a platform of 11,31 m by 3,98 m. For a night near Kornati, the 1,65-2,05 m depending on keel draft makes depth, swinging room and the overnight forecast part of the decision.

To judge whether Bavaria C38 suits the holiday, it helps to picture the real use of its 11,31 m length and 3,98 m beam. sailors looking for several days of independence will find this 2023 sailing yacht supports shared cruising without losing private moments. Near Kornati, that balance becomes especially valuable once the day’s activity is over.

The waters around Sukosan 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.

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 3 cabins separate sleep from storage, while 2 bathrooms shape the morning when the boat is full. Bavaria C38 feels more comfortable when every berth has a clear place and the saloon table does not become a luggage shelf.

Bavaria C38 suits guests who want an organised trip without losing spontaneity. With the layout understood, an easy first stage and alternatives near Kornati, attention stays on cruising and enjoying the day rather than following a rigid programme.

Three ways to cruise from Sukosan on Bavaria C38 — the character of Bavaria C38 near Kornati · suited to sailors looking for several days of independence

Two days from Sukosan: cruising, swimming and a night near Kornati — cruising towards Žut with room for Levrnaka

After Žut, the leg to Kornati continues only while wind, rest and arrival time still work together. If conditions change, nearby shelter preserves the afternoon on board. The deck is cleared for the night, water and energy are checked, and the next morning begins with a fresh forecast.

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 Sukosan.

    We especially liked adapting the day. We dropped Levrnaka and enjoyed far more time near Kornati.

Time aboard Bavaria C38 between Žut, Kornati and Levrnaka — cruising towards Žut with room for Levrnaka

The departure improves when everybody arrives in good time; the party shares jobs and keeps the deck passages clear. During the passage towards Žut, the day finds a natural balance between cruising and rest. If the wind changes during the afternoon, shortening the stage often creates a fuller afternoon aboard. With dinner ready and the anchorage checked, the morning plan is discussed without turning it into a duty.

The first morning in Sukosan works best without a rush; every guest finds a place without filling the cockpit with bags. As the water opens near Žut, the swimming stop is chosen for shelter and depth, not only photographs. When the party wants more swimming and fewer miles, depth, swinging room and the morning exit matter more than reputation. Before the party divides the cabins for the night, one well-chosen stop matters more than a long list.

Before setting a course for Žut, the crew discusses the route and keeps one simple alternative. With the boat settled on its course, one person keeps watch while another checks position and the next mark. Before committing to a night near Kornati, an updated forecast makes a change of plan feel entirely normal. 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; nobody must learn everything, but everybody knows whom to ask. After the party has found a comfortable pace, conversation gives way to quiet moments watching the horizon. While daylight still allows two shelters to be compared, nobody loses the experience by dropping a late stop. The final conversation of the day often begins on deck; the crew discovers that slow travel can still feel far-reaching.

Bavaria C38 equipment: what to locate during handover — between Žut and Kornati on Bavaria C38

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.

  • Safety and swimming. Everybody knows where to find «lifejackets» and «dinghy». The briefing also covers movement on deck, when passages stay closed and what happens before entering the water. Rules are adapted when children or first-time guests are aboard.
  • Comfort on board. The use of «bimini», «hot water» and «solar panels» is clarified before provisions and luggage are stowed. Knowing what draws power, needs ventilation or must be closed under way keeps common areas pleasant during the night near Kornati.

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 Sukosan becomes more orderly.
