Quality and innovation are the revolutionary keywords in the boats mass production

    The German brand Bavaria Yachts is one of the main International player in the mass production of sailing boats and motor yachts. The shipyard, founded at the end of ‘70s, was the first one to introduce the modern CNC system in the nautical construction.
