Join us on an extensive tour of Polaris, our beloved Bavaria Cruiser 46 from 2017. Over the past 7 years, we have poured our hearts into transforming her into our cosy, comfortable floating home. In this video, we unveil every inch of her evolution, from the deck layout featuring her trusted Rocna 33 anchor, the boom preventer set up and our selection of sails. We show her solar arch, the removable forestay, and her custom design sprayhood that gets close to a proper pilot house.

Below deck, experience the warmth of our saloon, the heart of Polaris, and inviting main work and living room. Discover the three generous cabins, each with ensuite toilets, and marvel at the boat’s huge storage capacity. Her fully electric galley, boasting an electric 3 ring glass ceramic hob and oven, a Thermomix multicooker, a single plate induction cooker (as a backup), an electric kettle, a toaster and even a milk frother is powered by a robust bank of 600Ah of lithium batteries and supplemented by 1.2kW photovoltaic panels or by a 5kWA diesel generator, awaits your inspection.

Delve into the engineering marvels that make life aboard Polaris a breeze. From the installation of a 60lph watermaker to the 9kW hydronic central water heating system, ensuring comfort, dryness and warmth even in the cold of winter.
