Sailboat Bavaria Bavaria 38 Cruiser 11.86m

The Discovery is a Bavaria 38 Cruiser composed of 3 double cabins, one of which is the owner's cabin in the bow with direct bathroom access. It has a large dinette with a large kitchenette and a chart table. The Discovery boasts one of the largest cockpits in its category thanks to the fold-down beach at the stern, excellent for swimming and access to the cockpit. In the cockpit, 6 people can comfortably sit for relaxation, dinner or lunch. The deckhouse has large sunbathing and relaxation areas where you can read or sunbathe while being lulled by the waves of the Mediterranean. The boat is moored in Salivoli, a strategic port due to its proximity to the islands that make up the Tuscan archipelago, Elba, Giglio and Capraia. Setting sail from Salivoli in just 40 minutes, we dive into the waters of Elba in the Cavo and Rio Marina area, other locations that can be reached in a short time such as Porto Azzurro or Marciana. Capraia and Giglio are instead about 3 hours away by boat. Salivoli is in an interesting area of Tuscany, nearby you can reach all the best places of the Maremma such as Motalcino, Suvereto, Capalbio, Saturnia and other seaside resorts such as San Vicenzo, Castiglione della Pescaia, Follonica, etc.

A wonderful week on Elba! :) Discovery is a very comfortable boat, with all the comforts and a pleasure to sail. The skipper, Raffaele, is a fantastic person, the likes of which are hard to find. Kind, friendly, he knows all the island's secrets and is always ready to offer excellent advice on things to do and see along the way. This week we had equal pleasure in getting to know Elba, Discovery, and Raffaele, and we would recommend anyone to have an experience like ours.

Great experience, very comfortable boat, well maintained, clean and with all the comforts. There were 4 of us and we slept in the 3 double bedrooms, the owner's one was very spacious and had access to a private bathroom. Raffaele and Federico were two excellent skippers, as well as two people who were great company. We spent two wonderful days, to be repeated because with so little time we couldn't see the island of Elba well. Thanks for everything
