⚙️ How to Drive Bavaria S33 Properly?

🚫 Why Very Low Speeds Are Not Recommended

Running the engines at too low RPM (< 1,500) may cause:

• incomplete fuel combustion
• soot build-up in the exhaust system
• turbocharger strain or early wear

✅ Optimal Cruising Range

• RPM: 2,800 – 3,000
• Speed: approx. 20 – 24 knots
• Fuel use: 44 – 50 l/h total

🧊 Engine Cool-Down After Cruising

After longer cruising at higher RPM, we recommend driving for about 5 minutes at reduced RPM (1,500–1,800) to allow the turbochargers to cool gradually. This extends engine life and prevents thermal shock.

⚓ A Perfect Family or Couple Cruiser

• Kitchen, WC, and shower
• Spacious cockpit and sunbed

The boat is currently in the water during the charter season, and stored & serviced in Dry Marina Biograd over winter.
