2016 Bavaria 400 HT

The 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT is a 40-foot sport yacht that blends day-boat agility with overnight capability.

Is the 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT for Sale?

Yes, this 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France, and is ready for immediate use. Because the Bavaria brand has solid resale support in Europe and this example carries valuable options, availability of a comparable boat in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Volvo Penta service records, hull condition, interior finishes, and the operation of the opening hardtop, hydraulic platform, and air conditioning should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with complete service records can have a very different ownership profile from another Sport 400 HT that has deferred maintenance.
 

2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT Price

The asking price for this 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. The Bavaria brand has solid resale support in Europe, which helps protect value if you keep service records complete. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 40-foot sport yacht. Running a 40-foot sport yacht with a single Volvo Penta engine usually means lower maintenance than twin-engine alternatives, though fuel burn at planning speed still adds up. At 20 knots cruising, a 750-liter tank supports around 200 nautical miles, so plan fuel stops for longer trips. Buyers should also budget for annual berthing, insurance, and engine servicing in France before committing, along with a professional survey, haul-out, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Bavaria Sport 400 HT is powered by a single Volvo Penta engine, which usually means lower maintenance than twin-engine alternatives. The Volvo Penta package is a well-regarded marine diesel known for reliable operation, and the single-engine configuration keeps servicing straightforward for an owner-operator. Bow and stern thrusters make docking a 40-foot yacht far less stressful.
 

The hull is designed to blend day-boat agility with overnight capability, and the engine provides efficient cruising for Mediterranean coastal hopping. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should include marina maneuvering and a full engine survey. At 20 knots cruising, a 750-liter tank supports around 200 nautical miles, so plan fuel stops for longer trips.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT features an opening hard top that transforms the main deck for sun or shade in seconds, plus a hydraulic submersible rear bathing platform and hydraulic gangway that simplify tender and swim access. Teak deck converts into a spacious sunbathing area for anchorage days, while bow and stern thrusters make docking easier. The exterior layout is designed for day-boat agility and quick access to the water.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The opening hardtop, hydraulic bathing platform, hydraulic gangway, teak deck, and thrusters should all be tested to confirm they operate smoothly. Deck hardware and railings should also be checked during a personal viewing in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT offers two private cabins and a generous shower room that support weekend trips, along with reversible air conditioning that keeps the saloon and cabins comfortable across climates. The twin-cabin layout makes the boat practical for a family or couple who wants a versatile yacht for coastal hopping and occasional overnight stays. The interior is designed for comfort without adding the weight of a larger vessel.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The reversible air conditioning and generous shower room are valuable features for Mediterranean cruising.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2016 Bavaria Sport 400 HT

Before making an offer on this used yacht, arrange a sea trial that includes marina maneuvering and a full engine survey. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, plumbing, and bilge systems. The opening hardtop, hydraulic platform, hydraulic gangway, teak deck, and air conditioning are valuable options, so confirm they operate smoothly.
 

The single Volvo Penta engine should be inspected carefully, including engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling system, and propeller. Buyers should also test bow and stern thrusters, navigation electronics, VHF radio, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, and other onboard systems. If the engine hours are reasonable and the hull reports are clean, this Bavaria Sport 400 HT for sale can be a smart entry into luxury yacht ownership.
