Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 vs Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 vs Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 380 hp, the Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 has a 160-hp advantage over the Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015's 220-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 carries 396 gallons versus 137 gallons in the Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Bavaria Yachts S45 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 45,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Bavaria Yachts Sport 360 Open/HT/Coupe 2015 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
