2017 BAVARIA S40 COUPE — DAETRIP
TWIN VOLVO D6-400 DPH | 800 HP | GENERATOR | A/C | HYDRAULIC SWIM PLATFORM | 2023 HIGHFIELD TENDER with 25 HP YAMAHA
Not all Bavaria S40 Coupes are equipped alike.
For buyers comparing Bavaria S40s, Daetrip deserves a closer look.
She is powered by the desirable twin Volvo Penta D6-400 DPH package, producing 800 horsepower. These larger six-cylinder diesels give the S40 impressive performance, with a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 28 knots and a top speed of approximately 35 knots.
But horsepower is only part of what separates Daetrip.
She has been equipped as a genuine Pacific Northwest cruising boat, with an 8 kW Fisher Panda generator, 36,000 BTU air conditioning, diesel heat, 2 kW inverter, bow thruster and hydraulically lowering teak swim platform. Add her 2023 Highfield 340 Classic tender with Yamaha 25 hp outboard, and this is a remarkably complete cruising package.
Just as importantly, Daetrip comes with an exceptional maintenance history. She has been hauled annually for scheduled servicing using Volvo OEM parts and oils. Engines, DPH sterndrives, cooling systems, generator and underwater equipment have received extensive documented attention, including a 2026 haul-out and full service of both engines and sterndrives.
For an experienced buyer, condition, maintenance history, power package and equipment can matter far more than model year alone.

At the heart of Daetrip are twin Volvo Penta D6-400 diesels coupled to DPH sterndrives, producing a combined 800 horsepower.
The D6-400 installation gives Daetrip the power and reserve performance particularly well suited to this approximately 20,500-lb sport cruiser.
Daetrip has the systems aboard to comfortably extend the boating season and spend meaningful time away from the dock.
Whether cruising the Gulf Islands in July or extending the season into the cooler months, Daetrip has been equipped for the way we actually boat on the West Coast.
One of the S40’s most useful features is its large hydraulically operated teak swim platform.
Lower it to launch or retrieve the tender, or lower it into the water to create your own private swimming platform.
Daetrip’s owner has taken the system a step further with removable tender chocks positioned so the tender can be launched and retrieved whether the boat is tied port or starboard. Once the tender is launched, the chocks can be removed, leaving the platform unobstructed.
A custom mount also allows the Weber BBQ to be used conveniently from the stern.
Included is a 2023 Highfield 340 Classic with St. Croix steering and Yamaha 25 hp outboard.
The S40 Coupe does an exceptional job of combining indoor and outdoor living.
Large tinted sliding glass doors open the cockpit to the upper salon, while the enormous electrically operated hardtop sunroof can transform the enclosed deckhouse into an open-air entertaining area in seconds.
Daetrip also benefits from several thoughtful owner improvements.
The standard aft cockpit arrangement has been upgraded with a custom settee and Corian table. The table hydraulically lowers and, with custom cushions, converts the area into a large sunbed.
Inside, a custom matching Corian table and bar top make excellent use of the salon space. The salon table also lowers to create additional sleeping accommodation.
Additional features include:
The result is an exceptionally versatile entertaining space that can be opened completely on a summer afternoon or enclosed and heated when the weather changes.
Below decks, Bavaria makes excellent use of the S40’s 13’1″ beam.
The forward owner’s cabin features an island berth with excellent storage.
The spacious aft cabin provides unusual versatility: the California king berth can also be configured as two separate single berths, making the boat equally practical for couples, family or guests.
The lower salon provides additional seating and sleeping accommodation, while generous lockers, shelving and under-floor storage make longer trips practical.
The lower galley includes a ceramic cooktop, 12V refrigerator, double stainless-steel sink with covers, and generous countertop, cabinet and storage space.
The enclosed head features an electric-flush toilet, holding tank, deck pump-out/overboard discharge and full-size shower.
Visibility from the helm has been further improved with an upgraded captain’s chair and custom nine-inch riser, providing a better sightline over the bow while adding useful storage beneath.
Navigation and helm equipment includes:
This may be one of Daetrip’s most important attributes.
The vessel has been hauled every March for scheduled servicing using Volvo OEM parts and oils, with maintenance records documenting considerable investment in keeping the engines, sterndrives and associated systems properly serviced.

2024: Haul-out; both sterndrives serviced; zincs; bottom and sterndrive paint; generator service; new underwater lights; port engine water pump replaced; mechanical inspection.

An experienced cruiser knows the value of having the right part aboard when away from home.
Daetrip comes with an unusually extensive inventory of spares, including a Volvo D6 engine water pump, hydraulic swim-platform cylinder, 12V water pump, macerator, table lift motor, belts, wipers, zincs, generator service package, trim-motor circuit breakers and an uptime kit containing harder-to-source components.
A Bavaria S40 is already an excellent combination of performance, accommodation and indoor/outdoor living.
Daetrip takes that platform considerably further.
For the buyer comparing Bavaria S40 Coupes, model year is only one part of the equation. Condition, power package, equipment, maintenance history and what you may need to spend after purchase matter too.
Daetrip is already equipped to go cruising.
Come aboard and see the difference.
