Overview
"I want a sport cruiser that doesn't pick a side — a real overnighter for two couples, sharp enough to enjoy a single-handed afternoon, and built to survive a Mediterranean season."
Who this boat is for
Couples and families who want a true two-cabin / two-head sport boat with proper Mediterranean attitude — without crossing into 50-foot pricing.
Hisham's take
Designed by Marco Casali (Too Design, Italy) with the BAVARIA YACHTS development team, the SR41 launched the SR-Line and won UK Motor Boat of the Year in 2022. Two cabins, two heads, a midship owner's suite with separate shower, and a convertible aft sun lounge that doubles as a waterside lounge or extra cockpit bench. Twin Mercruiser or Volvo Penta sterndrive power, 35-kn top end, and a hardtop with electric sliding sunroof as standard. The hull's broad black window stripe is doing real work — daylight floods every cabin below.
