With a starting price of €130,000 ex VAT is the Bavaria S29 the best-value new boat on sale today?

In this in-depth review and walkthrough tour, shot during the Düsseldorf Boat Show, we take a close look at this brilliantly packaged entry-level sportscruiser that is an ideal step up from a smaller sportsboat or weekender.

It’s a traditional sportscruiser design with a well-packaged main deck that incorporates a sun pad at its aft end, a U-shaped dinette on the port side and a wet bar with fridge, sink and optional grill to starboard, all protected by a deep wraparound windscreen. Whereas many rivals have a walk-through windscreen to access the foredeck, the S29 has symmetrical side decks that lead to the bow.

Below, the S29 is a treat for a 30ft boat. The headroom is good, it’s bright and spacious and you have a private double cabin amidships to partner the open-plan convertible dinette in the bow. A neat galley and separate bathroom with full standing headroom for someone of 6ft complete an impressive picture.

Single and twin petrol or diesel engine options on sterndrives provide a good mix of propulsion options and a top speed of 35 knots with the largest motors.
