Enjoyed your comments in the master cabin 😉
Great review, love that you point out the (slight) negative points with the good. I would be pretty happy if I was forced to spend a weekend on this 😉 Good job @Jack, thanks.
'they don't have to be on top of each other unless they want to be' at 17:47. the summary of this video lol.
🤫😂😂😂
On top Ok
looooooooooooooool
An excellent, thorough and honest review 👍
Not a boat that I would consider buying but am sure it’ll be popular
Nice looking boat at a reasonable price, with a grand review to boot.
Thanks Jack 👍
Well Jack. you asked what is the best looking 40ft boat in the market: it's Princess V40 or Windy W39 Camira - for handling.... you can't skip Botnia Targa T37 or T42 ;)
Great boat and presentation. Love the fact the instrument cluster is a little more vertical and wish more boats companies would catch on to this. Far too many are at 45 degree (or worse) angles from the Captain's view. Nice job by Bavaria and you, Jack.
Exellent video Jack, nice interior, but the best of this video are your shoes 😊😊😊
Excellent review and I really appreciate the price transparency in the first 60 seconds. My biggest gripe about Aquaholic is that for new boats he quotes base price exc VAT without mentioning the actual price of the boat being tested.
Agreed
There was an instance at the beginning where he mentioned that the boat as tested was about 450k or something. The title is a little misleading.
Agree with some other comments about the woodwork. Looks like a diy job, similar to when you watch someone convert a van or a bus into a motorhome. And piano black gloss finishes can never be kept free of dust. I know from experience. Thanks for the video. It’s all grist to the mill..!
Good value, and great layout.
Nice boat, I like the rear facing cockpit seats.
Really good review Jack.
Excellent review of a very sleek looking boat.
Fantastic value fit and finish for that sort of money, great specification and it packs a punch in performance. I think it looks great and I like the styling. Why pay more for less. Very nice 👌👍
Sweet boat! She’s nice and sleek. Need the glass doors.
The layout down below is perfect
This will sell really well, sure it isn't top spec, but it is a good price and reasonably well thought through.
That'll do quite nicely thanks 👍
I really enjoy your style of reporting on a boat. More analyst vs salesperson. Clearer picture I think.
Lovely boat Jack. I wouldn’t say no to it. We have a Grandezza27OC. It’s funny how you always compare any other boat to the one you currently own. Strange with Bavaria they do tend to leave off some of the most simplest items that are readily available and very cheap, the anchor locker with no gas struts, no hinge lid on the fender locker, simple things. We have modified out all of the niggles on the Grandezza by fitting all those little things, I still have a list of other things that I would like but I think you have to stop somewhere. Next for us is the 18 inch radome still waiting due to COVID.

a bang in your pocket for less boat ...
no blah ... that gys have no contact to reality, what is possible qnd sell stoneage shit.
or can that shit run only on photovoltaic or windgenerators without any additional worldrotting engin or sails?
no ... the reason why the wifes of the creators of such was not in a chinese concenttation camps, from 9 addopted cats 5 murdered (pathologyreport) and murderattempt get "normal" ...
because hightreasoners and massmurders like the tax on diesel and gasolin ...
the coanda drive ...

look in my channel ...
and ... I must put the next video togetherbut what is to see is already enough ...
8-10 million people die each year on sicknesses caused by polution ...
they are murdred for tax and controlling and especialy the not rich ... my drive does it ... he frees the poor ... its diy to build ... with 5000 usd you are in by a 40 footer when you know what you are doing ... and never tanking again.

@17:46. "Enough space in the bedroom, that people not goin to be *ON TOP OF EACH OTHER,* unless they want to be."
Great review Jack but to answer your question Princess V40 every time!
Reference the question early on in the vid...Princess V40
Good looking boat,
In my opinion the Grandezza 40ca is the best looking 40 ft on the market, because of the design, details and lines
Is the wood in the day head waterproof? I’ve always wondered about that! Or do you have to wipe it down immediately?
What does the warranty cover ???
Very nice the view from the helm across the front of the boat wasn't hitting on much at all. Other than that Very nice
I like the look, but better still is Jeanneau NC37...called 37 as in 37’, but in reality tip to tail it is a few inches shy of 40’; if you want to put one between two vertical walls, they would need to be 40’ apart for NC37 to fit.
Great looking yacht and even better looking at the price. I do like the Greenline 39 for looks but that Bavaria above is sexy. Ever the practical person in Britain i'd take the version with the door not just for warmth on a typical UK summers day but also for sound. Also just extends the season for a bit longer. One big question typical Englishman (i need a kettle for tea) sorry in advance but the kitchen area did not look like it had plug sockets is that correct?
ignore me 15.33 i can see them at the end of the racks, i should have triple checked.
@@nickmarks6066Tea is important, as is coffee, and for me, liquid Oxo steaming hot in a very large Mug (if you can find the big jars of it still ), so if sockets aren't immediately obvious, the question just has to be asked. tbh, I'd like a Gas hob and oven, with one of the portable single plate induction hobs. Maybe a Microwave, but I'm still not 100% sure if .I'd use one much on a boat. a Breadmaker and a slow cooker though if there's room for them. 👍 Best Wishes. Bob.
We want to see the S30 & S29 OPEN!
It's already a strangely designed boat inside and out. However, the reviewer made it even weirder by doing the performance test first and get the boat all wet then do the features afterwards. I can only assume there was some scheduling issues that made him do the test first. I do appreciate Jack's honesty in his review.
Very balanced review - I think it feels a bit cheap - the wood on the tables isn’t finished nicely, the helm station feels a bit cheap too - the gap on the steering wheel and the finish of the different parts of trim doesn’t feel very special. I normally really like Bavaria’s but this feels like they’ve cut some corners here...
Nice piece of kit but for the money I prefer the Sealine 430. Especially the three cabin version.
How much does noise isolation cost?
is certainly a good looking boat. Sunseeker Predator 40 is my fav
That left hand seat passenger will be legs round their neck if it’s bumpy lol, suppose that might appeal to some folk but those of us of a certain age would need new hips.
Very nice boat for the money, but as time goes on, id rather buy a used Princess boat in a similar size range that's a few years old. Love the comment "A couple of people can be here milling about, getting changed, and they're not going to be on top of each other... Unless they want to be"
Too much weight at the stern if it needs 50% tab just to run at an acceptable level. It is nice looking for a Bavaria though
I guess thats the compromise when you try to get a boat in a low-ish price point and have as much room. Id personally go for a used boat that has a better design and may be built a bit better.
Nothing wrong with this boat, it just doesn’t grab me, had a Bavaria before, great boat, but this leaves me a bit cold
85 decibels is the threshold for hearing loss if the exposure is prolonged.
Pardon??
I ordered a boat from a site a friend recommended and once it got brought infront of my house via mail i decided to check it out and realized the mast was full of stink. Not sure what it was but the mast smelled really bad.
I can't see where the 400k has gone, especially without the doors on the saloon! I'd have the twin petrol/gasoline erosion at 250k, but then I'd probably go for a 2nd user Fairline 38 with twin 400's and 44 knots czcams.com/video/KJB3uyw4C48/video.html!
No front opening fridge, no dishwasher drawer, no tender garage, a crawl in only bed for my guests and both double beds with a split in the middle! I can't see where the extra 150k has been spent!?
If you look close you can find the $150K. Comes with Merc but when you you select twin Volvo Penta D380 they do not give you credit for the Merc's. The teak deck. The teak lowering swim platform. The cockpit teak topped grill and fridge. The helm. The cushions (probably being two tone). The lower deck wood interior and flooring.
Man there are a lot of sharp edges on all that blah woodwork. It's going to look terribly dated in a few years.
Best 40 foot has to be a princess v40 hands down......
Agree...
Princess V 40
Great job Jack! Didn't Bavaria go bankrupt a few years ago? Seems to me that they cut corners with cheap materials.
Looks built to a price point.
It sound like you're in a train
not a Princess from Bavaria. wet bar swap the grill and sink around, sink guard not quite adequate
You'd have to be insane to spend over four hundred thousand on this plastic fantastic, there is so much available at that price point or less, this is way down the list of does it make sense for the money.
Lovely boat, does someone want to introduce Bavaria to gas struts? Otherwise it’s a lovely boat
Jack.... don’t go down the beard route....
Hard to understand what this extra 100 K is spent on. I see the hydraulic bathing platform, I see the grill, and then what?
Didn’t see much refrigeration, didn’t see a radar, a generator, air conditioning, passerelle, not a single tv screen (not that I watch tv, but for a family boat you have to give a screen to kids for play or movies).
If you were to upgrade this boat in order to make it useable in the Med, and not just a day boat, how much would it cost really? For a practically naked 40 ft motor cruiser, € 500K, is a lot of money! Really.
Galeon 405HTS
85dBA is the point where permanent hearing loss begins.
Not a single television?
The layout in parts of this boat are just not well thought out... and 100,000 in options was never explained other than the rear deck.
Lekker man lekker
Having an open stern is the worst type of vessel there is .. especially in bad weather ,
It only has ONE day head. It does NOT have day heads. Only one day head. And a master head. Not a master heads. Just one. One master head.
The outside looks good, but the inside wood looks cheap and the grill should never be right behind the seat. I know they have to cut costs in the build to sell this boat at that price, but in the end, I'd rather buy a used boat of higher quality, than a new one of lower quality. Sorry Bavaria, but this boat looks like a $30,000 RV on the inside.
Very clunky design. For that sort of money I'd prefer better quality. What were the 100k extras?
Big engines was the only thing i heard/saw.
Clunky is an understatement. Some of the design choices are head scratching. So much of the interior seems poorly executed
For that kind of money, it seems like they just don’t give a crap about details.
My boat is only 6ft/2m longer and it’s got way more room then that thing. Look up DeFever 49.
#1 six feet / 2 meters is a huge amount more
#2 you're comparing a 30+ year old trawler to a brand new sports cruiser
@@darthkek1953 So you agree then that a boat that was designed and built 30 years ago was built to a better standard then this POS. Six feet/ two meters is not that much bigger, it’s just how you make use of space.
@@McFingal i agree that you're comparing mouldy oranges with fresh tangerines.
I found one! www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/Cruiser/defever-49-pilothouse/319535
Quite nice, but perhaps not as a direct comparison to the Bavaria.
An amusing analogy for both of you... the Bavaria is today’s modern house with all fake wooden flooring and not a carpet in sight. Much beloved of the under 50’s (I had to pick an arbitrary age bracket - guess which side I’m on..) to show their style credentials and keep a young trendy family happy. Effective, impressive, but easy to fall out of love with when the next best thing comes along.
The DeFever, the old solid house in the woods that requires much upkeep but is beautifully and agelessly styled (in the eye of the beholder - before the young buyers rip it to shreds and modernise it...). It may not be fuel efficient and even if it is your vegan granddaughter will turn her nose up at it because it hasn’t got built in WiFi!
So unwise to compare rotting with mouldy or new with old. I wouldn’t have the Bavaria because I haven’t got the latest Discovery to go with it (damn I nailed my colours to the mast rather obviously there didn’t I) but no doubt it’s competent and Jack always gives a fair review and it will suit today’s modern family. But in my mind the DeFever will turn more heads - and require the owner/skipper to be more than a dab hand at maintenance!
@@PhilbyFavourites Well said, and you nailed the age dead on.
Great video but for God's sake - someone in the advertising department needs taking into a dark room and beating senseless. Far too many adverts. Otherwise brilliant thorough review.
Subtle, but made me laugh 👍🏻
The videos may be free to watch but they aren't free to create! We have to make money somewhere... Glad you enjoyed the review, though.
Adblock stops adverts appearing (Jack, I subscribe to MBY, so you get some money from me that way 😃)
@@jackhaines123 I think we all realise, and certainly see, the effort and professionalism put in to producing this content.
CZcams has been here for really just the blink of an eye, but every viewer has become used to it being free. That’s not an excuse, but it is a challenge to the content producers how they define or integrate the advertising. We all buy magazines, some of us takeout subscriptions but show us an annoying advert on CZcams (I thought Nigel Farage was done with now he pops up on here trying to flog me something I don’t want or need - I can’t click fast enough to get rid of him) and we’re back into “Angry of Tunbridge Wells.”
You do a great job and the delights of CZcams allow the viewer a voice (not always a good thing). Maybe there’s mileage in explaining the monetisation aspects to the wider audience? And adverts, yes an understandable necessity. Perhaps we could choose not to have them associated with or delivered by someone who has so successfully decimated Brits boating abroad!
Keep up the good work and occasionally suffer the slings and arrows of outraged viewers 👍🏻👍🏻
@@alanj9391 good man, thanks 😊
Can't help but think day heads and an en suite is an unnecessary luxury.
I'll take a pre owned Princess etc and save money. Sorry but for £440k this boat looked cheap in too many areas.
*SImrad not SHImrad.
SHorry 🙄
A boat full of compromises.
To a novice like my self it kinda looks all cheap
Meh.
Not sure I understand the point of your sensuous whisper guy. Are you trying to bone that boat?
Looks old already
That's the worst design I've ever seen, noisey engines, top heavy at anchor I bet it'll wobble horribly. The engine access is just unacceptably tight. The cabin design looks unloved, furniture plonked about carelessly, and compared to the elegant Cranchi Z35 with similar price just doesn't compare.
Ugh the interior details are mostly pretty awful.
it`s made for charter tours. The Interior looks like IKEA made.
Very noisy.
Fridge and TV is missing diss is way boat is not my taste 👎
