Baia BAIA 40 used

Experience the timeless design and robust engineering of this Baia 40, an iconic Italian open cruiser built in 1990. Measuring 12.08 meters in length with a versatile 0.8-meter draft, this fiberglass vessel is designed for shallow-water accessibility and high-performance coastal cruising. Having undergone extensive maintenance in 2025, the boat is presented in excellent condition, ready for immediate use. Powering this vessel are two Caterpillar 3208 DITA engines, each delivering 435 HP. These are paired with Arneson surface drives, providing an exhilarating 30-knot top speed and a 24-knot cruise. Recent technical refinements include a complete overhaul of the Arneson transmissions, specific maintenance on the starboard inverter, a full engine service, and the installation of a bow thruster to simplify docking maneuvers. Exterior comfort is prioritized with a newly installed tinted windshield, a redesigned teak swim platform, and a 2024 exterior refrigerator. The spacious cockpit is perfect for daytime relaxation, complemented by generous sunbathing cushions. Interior living is equally refined, featuring a private double cabin at the bow, a central dinette with a convertible sofa for additional sleeping space, and a functional galley. The boat includes one bathroom and is equipped with a Garmin GPS/Plotter, VHF, and an integrated TV/stereo system. This Baia 40 is ideally suited for buyers who value the specific handling characteristics of Arneson drives combined with a classic Mediterranean aesthetic. With its shallow draft, it is a practical choice for exploring protected bays and coastal areas with ease. The vessel is currently offered for 65.000 EUR, with VAT paid.
