Defined by its heritage of solid construction and Mediterranean style, this 1990 Baia 40 represents an opportunity to own a classic performance vessel. Recently refreshed through significant technical and aesthetic upgrades in 2025, this used boat is ready for immediate enjoyment. Key improvements include a new smoked windshield, the installation of a bow thruster, and a complete overhaul of the Arneson surface drive transmissions, including extraordinary maintenance on the starboard unit.
Power is supplied by twin Caterpillar 3208 DITA engines, each producing 435 HP. This powertrain provides a sporty experience with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. The shallow draft of just 0.80 meters ensures exceptional versatility, allowing for easy access to shallow coves and anchorages that are otherwise unreachable by similar-sized cruisers. The 2025 service also included a full engine tune-up and a revitalized teak swim platform.
On deck, the layout is designed for outdoor living, featuring ample sunbathing cushions and a functional teak cockpit. Technical navigation is supported by Garmin GPS/Plotter, depth sounder, and VHF systems. The onboard comfort is further enhanced by a 2024 exterior refrigerator, an inverter, and a dedicated TV/stereo system for entertainment while at anchor.
Below deck, the interior maintains the classic Baia identity with a well-organized layout. The forward master cabin is finished in wood and quality textiles, complemented by a central dinette with a convertible sofa that offers additional sleeping capacity. A fully equipped kitchen and a private, well-appointed bathroom with a shower ensure comfort for longer stays on board. The interior is characterized by a warm, inviting atmosphere with natural light that highlights the excellent state of preservation.
This vessel is currently located in Italy and is offered at a reduced price of 75.000 EUR with VAT paid status. This Baia 40 is a prime choice for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, performance-oriented open cruiser that has been kept to high standards of modern maintenance.
