Bavaria Yachts

Yachts estranged from any navigable waters sounds perplexing at first. But the answer lies in Bavaria Yachts’ history; because revolution often happens where you least expect it. Bavaria Yachts, located in the small town of Giebelstadt in Würzburg, has not always manufactured yachts. With no navigable waters in sight, Winfried Herrmann’s idea to turn his company for plastic windows into a top-notch shipyard sprung from seeing a grand opportunity for true innovation. In 1978, Herrmann realised his ambitious plan and started to specialise in building yachts. The primary difference to other shipyards? Herrmann’s optimised manufacturing process.

Profile/competences

Core competencies

Since 1978 Bavaria yachts have been synonymous with premium quality, solid and lasting values as well as an outstanding price-performance ratio. More than 3.000 motor and sailing yachts per year leave the shipyard ranking among the world?s largest and most successful yacht manufacturers. The shipyard has one of the most state-of-the-art series production facilities for sailing yachts worldwide. From hull lamination to final delivery, our yachts pass various assembly stations covering a distance of more than six kilometres. Bavaria applies standards that are considerably more rigorous than required by law. The GL Yacht Plus Certification, a voluntary yet strict certification process that far exceeds EU requirements offering an even greater degree of security, can be taken as an example.

We understand

The craft of boatbuilding.

Knierim builds custom yachts according to the owner's individual wishes, using the latest wood or composite construction methods (carbon or GRP). Whether 30 feet or 30 meters long, an open motorboat, a comfortable cruising yacht for family vacations or an ocean-going racer for regattas - our know-how is your gain!

We prepare your yacht for the next season or regatta with the same precision as for a new build - carefully and on time. We use our own crane to lift yachts of up to 30 tons out of the water at any time, lay and set your mast, ensure a smooth underwater hull, carry out technical modifications, lay new teak decks, paint the hull, deck, natural wood parts or mast and boom, repair damage, carry out maintenance work on all systems and supply the necessary equipment.

For boat storage, two large heated halls are used on our carefully guarded premises. Berths are available at short notice and for service purposes at our pier in the Kiel Canal.

Perfection according to your wishes

In 1978, the first yacht of the Bavaria brand came off the stocks at a shipyard in the German city of Gibelshdat. It was the 807. The founder of the company, Winfred Hermann, could not have imagined at the time that in a few years his production would have the most modern facilities to produce a wide range of yachts.

This manufacturer of plastic windows decided to re-equip its factory for the production of inexpensive cruise yachts, and the assembly of models on an on-line conveyor became a feature of the shipyard's work. This made it possible to speed up the production of finished products, divide functions among the working staff, improve quality control at each stage of assembly . Over time, Bavaria became the first company in the yachting world to use robotic technology in the construction of yachts and boats.

Constantly feeling the pulse of the market, this company has been mastering the production of motor boats since 2003 . Today their share in the total number of manufactured products is 40%.

Today BAVARIA-Yachtbau is a shipyard with 200 thousand sq. m. production space . 70 thousand sq.m. were allocated directly for the body molding shops, workshops, carpentry shops and five assembly lines. The model range of the manufacturer includes 40 models of sailing cruising catamarans and planing yachts with a flybridge with a hull length from 9 to 18 meters. The main production facilities with a staff of 600 are located in the German Giebelstadt. In La Rochelle, France, the company employs 250 people to assemble Nautitech catamarans. Every year 2 thousand motor and sailing yachts leave the stocks of this leader of the yachting industry with an excellent combination of price and quality. It is for him that many experts on the yacht and boat market call BAVARIA-Yachtbau a people's brand.

The shipyard's own test center in Markbraith am Main also takes an active part in the technological chain. The work of this division allows you to research, test, modify yachts, bring innovations to their designs. The center's specialists work on each model until the quality inspectors of the shipyard give their approval for its serial launch. In the structure of the center, there is a test pool, in which yachts, before falling into the hands of their owners, are tested for their strength and reliability indicators.

All Bavaria yachts and boats are certified and meet the most stringent quality standards .
