From my observations, I generally think of Bavarias as being near the bottom of the list of high production builders when it comes to build quality. These are comparable boats to the lower cost Beneteaus, Hunters and Catalinas and perhaps not even as well built as the better model Beneteaus. These would not be boats that I would consider for cruising the more remote areas of the world. There are dozens of brands that would be better suited.

On the other hand, Halberg Rasseys have one of the best reputations for quality offshore cruisers.
