About Yachten Meltl
Passion, Experience & a Yacht Center with History
With over 50 years of experience, Yachten Meltl is one of Europe's most renowned yacht centers. Its roots go back to 1969, when Josef Meltl transformed a small rowing boat rental on Lake Chiemsee into one of Europe's first yacht charter addresses. Soon after, he entered yacht sales – and through his involvement in Bavaria Yachtbau GmbH, a partnership emerged that made Bavaria Yachts one of the world's largest yacht providers.
From this rich history, a company developed that is now one of the leading contacts for yacht purchases, yacht services, and yacht investments in Europe.



From Lake Chiemsee to the World
What once began with small sailboats is now a modern yacht center with a broad range of services.
In the large showroom in Bernau am Chiemsee, 7-8 yachts between 28 and 48 feet are available for viewing all year round. Here, prospective buyers can compare and explore various models – at their leisure, in style, and without trade fair stress.
Yachten Meltl is an official Bavaria Yachts dealer
In addition to Bavaria Yachts, Yachten Meltl is also a dealer for other top brands – such as Nautitech, Bente, and Nuva Yachts, and other renowned shipyards.
This allows Yachten Meltl to offer an exceptionally wide range of models for all requirements – from sporty cruisers to luxurious catamarans.
