Bavaria Yachts sold: 800 jobs secured

Bavaria Yachts has announced it has been bought by a private equity fund, securing 800 jobs in Germany and France

17 September 2018

Bavaria Yachts has been bought out of administration by a private equity fund.

The yacht builder went into self-administration in April, and has been looking for new backers since then. The move allowed the firm’s management to remain operational while new investors were sought.

In a statement, Bavaria said the unnamed private equity fund, which is advised by the Berlin-based investment company CMP Capital Management-Partners, has acquired Bavaria Yachts and all of the shares in the French subsidiary Bavaria Catamarans SAS.

All 550 employees of BAVARIA YACHTS in Giebelstadt and all 250 employees of BAVARIA CATAMARANS in Rochefort will transfer to the purchaser.

The purchase will be completed after merger control clearance by the German Federal Cartel Office, which is expected in a couple of weeks.

Both parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

CMP Capital Management-Partners is a German investment company that has specialised in the acquisition of companies in distress in Germany, Austria and Switzerland since its foundation in 2000.

With the investment in the company, CMP employees assume operative management responsibilities on site. In the case of Bavaria, Dr. Ralph Kudla, restructuring expert and partner at CMP, will join the executive board.

The managing director of CMP Capital Management-Partners, Kai Brandes, said: ‘We are convinced of Bavaria’s global market potential and will sustainably develop the company. The restructuring measures will focus on regaining market share and improving production costs.’

Restructuring expert Dr. Tobias Brinkmann, who has been managing director of Bavaria Yachtbau since insolvency proceedings began in April 2018, praised the commitment and reliability of Bavaria staff, who have built and delivered 220 yachts during the last five months.

‘Bavaria is an outstanding company with a strong brand, compelling products and a highly dedicated team. We are pleased to have found a well-known and experienced buyer in CMP who will lead Bavaria into the future,’ said Dr Brinkmann.

‘The entire management would like to thank our employees, yacht dealers, customers and suppliers. They have all supported Bavaria Yachtbau during the insolvency proceedings,’ he added.

22 May 2018

Bavaria Yachts says it has already had interest from potential investors, and hopes to make an announcement in July.

In a statement, the German yacht builder said production had ‘stabilised’ at its Giebelstadt yard, and it was continuing to take new orders and deliver new boats.

‘More than 30 yachts have left the shipyard over the past two weeks and have been handed over to customers,’ said the boat builder.

‘All 600 employees are on duty, and agreements were reached with all major suppliers for further delivery against short payment terms,’ it added.

‘The objective is to be able to present an investor in July 2018.’

There was widespread surprise when Bavaria announced it was going into self-administration last month.

The self-administration move allowed the firm’s management to remain operational while the business is re-organised

It only affected operations at Bavaria’s German operations. Nautitech – Bavaria’s catamaran arm – was unaffected.

Restructuring expert, Dr Tobias Brinkmann, who was appointed to find new investors, said: ‘We are continuing the operation and want to go into the coming order season with a new investor.

‘The first expressions of interest have already been received, and we are also actively approaching potential investors,’ he added.

24 April 2018

Bavaria Yachts has confirmed that it is now in self-administration, allowing the management to remain operational as it seeks new financial backing.

The move only affects Bavaria’s operations in Giebelstadt, Germany. Nautitech – Bavaria’s catamaran arm – remains unaffected and trading, delivery and after sales service at its base in Rochefort, France continues as normal.

600 workers are being kept updated, and their salaries and wages are secured by bankruptcy pre-financing until June 2018. Boat production and deliveries will also continue until then.

‘In the current situation, we want to supply our customers with the usual high quality,’ stressed Bavaria’s chief operating officer, Erik Appel in a statement released late yesterday.

Dr. Ing. Tobias Brinkmann, specialist lawyer for insolvency law and partner in the law firm Brinkmann & Partner, joins the management team.

Bavaria’s previous CEO, Lutz Henkel, left the management board last week.

Bavaria said its ‘top priority is now the search for an investor’, and against the background of a good market position, the aim was to ‘put the operation on a sound financial basis’.

‘We have years of experience building high-quality yachts and are industry leaders in many areas,’ said Appel.

Last month, Bavaria marked its 40th anniversary. It is considered one of the market leaders in European yacht building.

In a statement, Nautitech Catamarans, said: ‘To this day, the catamaran business remains in Rochefort France. It is an independent French company with its own employees, suppliers and bank accounts. Seen as the “jewel in the crown” of the Bavaria group, the well managed and profitable catamaran business is already attracting interest from potential buyers.

‘Whilst we understand that both the catamaran division and the struggling German operation will probably soon be under new ownership, or indeed ownerships, the operation of the catamaran business is completely unaffected by the situation in Germany. Therefore trading, delivery and after sales service continue as before.’

22 April 2018

Despite no official communique from the company itself, reports from Germany on Friday (20 April) indicate that Bavaria Yachts has gone into administration.

The company employs over 500 people in Giebelstadt, Bavaria making power and sail yachts up to 65ft long. A separately owned multihull brand, Nautitech, is based in La Rochelle, France and is expected to continue business as usual, according to several reports.

A statement is expected early in the week.

17 September 2018

Bavaria Yachts has been bought by a private equity fund advised by the German investment company CMP Capital Management-Partners.

The move secures 800 jobs in Germany and France.

The yacht builders went into self-administration in April, allowing the firm’s management to remain operational while new investors were sought. This also meant Bavaria could continue to build and deliver 220 yachts during that period.

The private equity fund will also acquire all shares in the French subsidiary Bavaria Catamarans SAS.

‘All 550 employees of BAVARIA YACHTS in Giebelstadt and all 250 employees of BAVARIA CATAMARANS in Rochefort will transfer to the purchaser,’ said Bavaria in a statement.

The purchase will be completed after merger control clearance by the German Federal Cartel Office, which is expected in a couple of weeks. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

22 May 2018

Bavaria Yachts has announced it is in the process of securing new investment and hopes to make an announcement in July.

The German yacht builder is continuing to take orders and deliver new boats.

‘Production has been stabilised and deliveries are continuing: more than 30 yachts have left the shipyard over the past two weeks and have been handed over to customers,’ said Bavaria in a statement.

‘All 600 employees are on duty, and agreements were reached with all major suppliers for further delivery against short payment terms,’ it added.

Bavaria went into self-administration last month. This allowed the firm’s management to remain operational while new investors are sought.

It only affected operations at Bavaria’s German operations. Nautitech – Bavaria’s catamaran arm – was unaffected.

The German shipyard said management and administrators have started an ‘investor process’ to rebuild Bavaria Yachts for the future.

‘The objective is to be able to present an investor in July 2018,’ said Bavaria.

The firm, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, was sold by its founder, Winfried Herrmann to the private equity group, Bain Capital in June 2007 for around €1.1 billion.

The American investment firms, Oaktree Capital and Anchorage Capital Group then became creditors post financial crisis in 2008.

As part of restructuring, Oaktree and Anchorage waived a substantial majority of their loans and became majority shareholders, investing ‘significant resource’.

‘Unfortunately, Bavaria Yachtbau was unable to recover operational profitability,’ said a spokesman for Oaktree and Anchorage.

As a result, Bavaria went into self-administration, and restructuring expert, Dr Tobias Brinkmann was appointed to find new investors.

‘We are continuing the operation and want to go into the coming order season with a new investor,’ stressed Dr Brinkmann.

‘The first expressions of interest have already been received, and we are also actively approaching potential investors,’ he added.

24 April 2018

Bavaria Yachts has confirmed that is has now gone into self-administration.

The German shipyard said boat production and deliveries will continue until June 2018. Wages and salaries for Bavaria’s 600 workers are also secure until then.

The self-administration, which allows the firm’s management to remain operational while an investor for the company is sought, only affects operations at Bavaria’s German operations.

Nautitech – Bavaria’s catamaran arm – remains unaffected and trading, delivery and after sales service at its base in Rochefort, France continues as normal.

‘In the current situation, we want to supply our customers with the usual high quality, stressed Bavaria’s chief operating officer, Erik Appel.

Dr. Ing. Tobias Brinkmann, specialist lawyer for insolvency law and partner in the law firm Brinkmann & Partner, joins the management team. Bavaria’s previous CEO, Lutz Henkel, left the management board last week.

Bavaria said its ‘top priority is now the search for an investor’

‘We have years of experience building high-quality yachts and are industry leaders in many areas,’ said Appel.

Bavaria said that against the background of a good market positioning, the aim was to ‘put the operation on a sound financial basis’.

Bavaria was founded in 1978 and is considered one of the market leaders in European yacht building. In January, it announced the new flagship C65 as well as the C45 models at Boot Düsseldorf.

Payment of wages and salaries for the months of April to June 2018 will be secured by bankruptcy pre-financing.

In a statement, Nautitech Catamarans, said: ‘To this day, the catamaran business remains in Rochefort France. It is an independent French company with its own employees, suppliers and bank accounts. Seen as the “jewel in the crown” of the Bavaria group, the well managed and profitable catamaran business is already attracting interest from potential buyers.

‘Whilst we understand that both the catamaran division and the struggling German operation will probably soon be under new ownership, or indeed ownerships, the operation of the catamaran business is completely unaffected by the situation in Germany. Therefore trading, delivery and after sales service continue as before.’

20 April 2018

The German yacht building giant Bavaria is expected to issue a statement later today, explaining that it is entering administration.

It is thought that the administration will apply to the Bavaria monohulls, but not to Bavaria catamarans. The company, which announced the new flagship C65 as well as the C45 models at Boot Düsseldorf earlier this year, is expected to continue construction and delivery of all current orders and will not be closing its factory.

The motorboat from BAVARIA YACHTS

Powerful, dynamic, safe, easy to handle and seaworthy - BAVARIA YACHTS motor yachts have many qualities. From bow to stern, they embody the masterful combination of many clever solutions. Decades of experience, extensive know-how and German engineering skills guarantee precision, quality and comfort. With excellent materials, excellent equipment and excellent craftsmanship, our shipyard creates what every BAVARIA stands for: the joy of yachting.

With the BAVARIA SR33 BAVARIA YACHTS completes its successful SR-LINE after the SR41 and the SR36. As on board all motor yachts of the BAVARIA SR-LINE, space for life on deck was the focus of the development. Below deck, the BAVARIA SR33 convinces at the same time with a well thought-out space concept with generous room for four people.

The BAVARIA SR36 offers a new sense of life on board and convinces with clever detailed solutions. An intelligent space concept and a sporty elegant design in combination with very safe driving characteristics make the BAVARIA SR36 unique, created for the perfect day with family and friends at sea.

A comfortable cockpit, a large sunbed that can be converted into a lounge area including a table right by the water in no time, and a large bathing platform make the BAVARIA SR41 the ideal motor yacht. Ideal for the perfect day at sea with family and friends.

The very design of the BAVARIA S29 tells you that this is a yacht with a great deal of power and sporting ambitions. She is ideal for drivers who like to go fast on the water and has an ergonomic helmstand with a clear layout to make this child’s play – just one of many special features.

With the BAVARIA S30 our engineers, boat builders and designers have focused on the essentials – dynamic, sporty driving and comfort that one hardly expects on a yacht this size. She is primarily intended for large lakes or tours along the coast.

The BAVARIA S33 stands for variability. Paired with excellent performance. She has brilliant handling characteristics, is agile and fast. Thanks to an intelligent hull design, she is also very safe. And on top of that, extremely comfortable on and below deck.

The BAVARIA S45 is a motor yacht for people who appreciate outstanding performance as well as an upscale, unique lifestyle, with an exterior and interior that will delight you anew every day.

The BAVARIA R40 impresses with very clear, very elegant lines. Her whole appearance radiates style and sportiness. And puts both into practice: with a unique amount of space on and below deck, as well as powerful engines that you can choose according to your needs. Just like the superstructure: The BAVARIA R40 is available as a COUPE and FLY version.

Classic lines and a timeless design, the BAVARIA VIRTESS 420 is one of the best motor yachts in the world and is at home on all coasts. A generous space concept with three cabins and a grandiose salon are just as convincing as clever detailed solutions such as the variable cockpit concept, with table and bench sliding on rails. She is available as FLY or COUPE.

The BAVARIA VIDA 33 is available in two versions, an open version and a version with a hard top. Together with the sporty hull design with recessed hull windows, the result is the BAVARIA VIDA 33’s dynamically elegant silhouette. The foreship also offers two layout variants. The choice is between a flat foredeck with space for a generous sunbed area and a lounge area at the bows with a cocktail table and space for six people.

Experience the pure joy of yachting.

The fascination of yachting.

Enabling you to enjoy wonderful moments on the water is what drives us every day. Motorboats and yachts stand for tangible power, perfect handling characteristics and dynamism. These characteristics are at the centre of the design and construction of our exclusive boats. We spare no effort and regularly put everything to the test so that you can enjoy a safe and sporty day on the water.

Comfort and individuality for every motorboat enthusiast

BAVARIA YACHTS is one of the most modern manufacturers of motorboats and motor yachts in the world. At our shipyard in Giebelstadt, Franconia, we build exclusive yachts for the discerning customer. Around 700 employees produce over 600 sailing and motor yachts per year. Our portfolio leaves nothing to be desired: The motor yacht series R-LINE (lengths from 12.65 m to 17.95 m), SR-LINE (lengths from 10.87 m - 11.86 m), S-LINE (lengths from 8.76 m to 13.83 m), VIRTESS LINE (12.39 m long) and VIDA LINE (9.93 m long) offer the right type with individual configuration options for every motorboat enthusiast.

Our motorboats: economical and powerful

One of the world's most innovative shipyards naturally only works with the best engine suppliers: MerCruiser and Volvo Penta. BAVARIA YACHTS was one of the first manufacturers to use the modern IPS system from Volvo Penta, a POD system with forward-facing twin propellers. The advantages of an IPS drive are particularly noticeable in terms of performance, exhaust emissions and comfort: 40 per cent more range with 20 per cent higher top speed, 30 per cent lower fuel consumption and therefore 30 per cent lower CO2 emissions. A joystick and software developed specifically for each model make the two IPS drives a perfect docking system in the harbour. Docking with your fingertips - and child's play. MerCruiser has been supplying petrol gensets for BAVARIA since 1999. When developing a new motor yacht, the engineers from MerCruiser and Volvo Penta sit at the same table as the technicians from BAVARIA to ensure the right propulsion.

Safe and durable

Seaworthiness is a basic requirement for a motor yacht from BAVARIA YACHTS. Among other things, this is ensured by a perfectly moulded hull. But an R, S or VIRTESS is not only safe to sail, it is also safe to move around on: wide gangways and a railing that runs from bow to stern are part of the package. Isophthalic acid resins in the outer layers ensure the highest quality in the hulls of a BAVARIA. The isophthalic acid resins effectively protect the outer layers against osmosis and guarantee the well-known longevity of BAVARIA yachts. The hull and deck consist of a sandwich construction with foam inserts.

Maximum precision for outstanding motorboat quality

There are over 40 positions on the deck and in the cockpit of every BAVARIA yacht. This calls for an efficient layout. To ensure that every piece of equipment is perfectly positioned, we combine the many years of experience of our product managers, designers and boat builders with the precision of modern CAD/CAM software. It is used for the exact planning, development and manufacture of prototypes, finished products and production processes. When building the deck, aluminium plates are laminated into the sandwich construction at key points to guarantee above-average stability.

During production, computer-controlled milling machines and drills are used at the exact points previously defined by the product team, here too with millimetre precision. The dimensionally accurate execution of milling and drilling for the fittings and hatches on deck is ultimately the decisive factor for the subsequent tightness. In order to be able to carry out this fundamental work with consistently high quality, we had our own CNC system developed years ago, which is unrivalled in the yacht and boat building industry to date.
