Astreamlined, in-house approach to handling newbuild projects -including adoption of a "100% made in Germany" ethos - is shaping Bavaria Yachts' plans for future success, as the yard recovers from the rollercoaster ride that was 2018. In April last year, the builder was legally ordered into self-administration, beginning a period of uncertainty and job fears that lasted until September, when a private equity fund advised by Berlin-based investment company CMP Capital Management-Partners acquired Bavaria Yachts' entire business, thus saving an estimated 800 jobs in total. This tally included some 550 workers in Bavaria Yachts' Giebelstadt HQ in Wurzburg, Germany, plus the 250 employees of the groups Bavaria Catamarans subsidiary, based in Rochefort, France.
