BAVARIA Yachtbau was founded in 1978 by Winfried Herrman, a window manufacturer, and Josef Meltl, a yacht charter broker. Bavaria is one of the largest yacht manufacturers in Europe and the largest shipyard in Germany, which today employs over a thousand people. It is also one of the world's top three market leaders for 9-18 meter yachts and can produce over 1,200 boats per year. In July 2014, Bavaria acquired the French catamaran manufacturer Nautitech Catamarans. With this purchase, the yard has expanded its product portfolio to include this growing sector. Bavaria's model range includes sailboats, powerboats and catamarans. Although Bavaria started out as a manufacturer of sailboats, motorboats are also very popular today. Their boats are well represented in the rental sector because of their excellent value for money. On April 20, 2018, Boote magazine reported that Bavaria filed for bankruptcy. According to information available to Boote, investors have withdrawn their capital support. Capital Management-Partners GmbH (CMP) officially acquires Bavaria as a new financial investor. It was only at the last moment before the final closure of the shipyard that the purchase contract with CMP was signed on September 17th. The new management team of Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH includes from August 2021 Marc Diening as CEO. In January 2021, the Bavaria C42 was voted European Yacht of the Year. The international jury of specialized journalists, particularly praised the high level of comfort and the perfect navigation characteristics of this one.
