Why More and More Yacht Buyers from Austria, Switzerland, and Southern Germany Come to Bernau am Chiemsee
Bernau Yacht Center
A Yacht Is Not Bought on a Whim
The purchase of a sailing or motor yacht is far more than an investment – it marks the beginning of a new chapter in life. Whether it’s for relaxing weekends on the water, family holidays in Croatia, or longer cruises in the Mediterranean: the right yacht should bring joy for many years.
That’s why many interested parties consciously take their time with their decision. They compare different models, gather extensive information, and seek a partner who not only sells yachts but also competently guides them through the entire purchase process.
Precisely for this reason, many yacht buyers find their way to Bernau am Chiemsee.
At the Bernau Yacht Center, Yachten Meltl operates a year-round showroom and assists customers from Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Poland on their journey to finding the perfect sailing or motor yacht.
A Location Ideally Situated for Buyers from Central Europe
Bernau am Chiemsee is located in the heart of Europe and is surprisingly quick to reach for many interested yacht buyers.
From Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Linz, or Zurich, the journey often takes only a few hours. More and more customers from Prague, Brno, Wroclaw, or Krakow are also consciously choosing to travel to Upper Bavaria.
The advantage is clear: instead of visiting multiple dealers or crowded boat shows, various yacht models can be compared in one place – in a relaxed atmosphere and with ample time for personal discussions.
For many guests, a visit to Chiemsee also becomes a short getaway. The region offers the ideal setting to explore yacht purchasing without time pressure.


Personal Consultation Instead of a Quick Sale
Every yacht is as individual as its future owners.
Therefore, good advice begins not with the model, but with the people who will later live and travel on board.
Together with customers, the following questions, among others, are answered:
- Should the yacht primarily be used in Croatia or the Mediterranean?
- Is a sailing yacht or a motor yacht the better choice?
- What size suits the planned cruises?
- New boat or high-quality used yacht?
- Which equipment increases comfort and safety?
- Which services are useful after the purchase?
The goal is not a quick sale, but a yacht that meets personal requirements in the long term.
The Big Advantage: A Year-Round Showroom Instead of Trade Fair Stress
Anyone who has ever visited an international boat show knows the situation: crowded halls, long waiting times, and often only a few minutes for a consultation.
It’s different at the Bernau Yacht Center.
Yachten Meltl’s year-round showroom allows selected sailing and motor yachts to be viewed at leisure. Cabins, cockpit, storage space, technology, and equipment variants can be experienced and compared without time pressure.
At the same time, there is ample room for personal questions. Which yacht suits the planned cruising area? What size makes sense? Which equipment pays off in the long run? Such decisions are not made between two trade fair appointments, but in an open conversation.
Especially first-time buyers and families find this calm atmosphere a great advantage.
Why Customers from Austria Like to Come to Bernau
For Austrian yacht buyers, Bernau am Chiemsee is easily accessible.
The yacht center can be reached quickly from Salzburg, Tyrol, or Upper Austria. But even interested parties from Vienna or Graz are happy to make the journey to experience several yacht models live and receive personal advice.
Many of the yachts purchased later are used in Croatia or other Adriatic cruising areas. Accordingly, questions about equipment, handover, and long-term support are incorporated into the consultation early on.
A Trusted Contact for Yacht Buyers from Switzerland
Customers from Switzerland also appreciate the opportunity to get to know various yachts in a relaxed atmosphere.
Those who can directly compare several models gain a much better impression than through brochures or online images alone. Materials, sense of space, and craftsmanship can only truly be experienced on board.
Many Swiss visitors combine their appointment at the Bernau Yacht Center with a stay at Chiemsee and consciously take their time for their decision.
More and More Interested Parties from the Czech Republic and Poland Discover Bernau
Interest in the Bernau Yacht Center is also growing outside the German-speaking area.
Buyers from Prague, Brno, Warsaw, Krakow, or Wroclaw specifically seek an experienced contact person in Southern Germany when it comes to high-quality sailing and motor yachts.
Personal contact, renowned brands, many years of experience, and the opportunity to view selected yachts all year round make Bernau an attractive destination for these target groups as well.

More Than a Yacht Dealer – A Long-Term Partner
