Bali 5.4

Comfort and generous space combined with excellent sailing characteristics without heeling. Aboard this spacious catamaran you will find room and privacy not only in the double cabins with private bathroom. Saloon and cockpit merge into a generous open-air saloon. Favourite spots are the sun loungers on the flybridge and the airy cockpit with benches and sun loungers on the foredeck. A bimini provides shade from the sun. The Bali 5.4 combines Catana's typically purist design with outstanding sailing qualities. The model was awarded Multihull of the Year at her market launch in 2019. She is fitted to a high standard with watermaker and generator.

On board

Relaxed yacht holiday

Simply enjoy. Plenty of room on the flybridge, in the cockpit, on the trampoline net and in the saloon. Cabins with private bathroom, partially air-conditioned.

Atmosphere aboard

You and your fellow guests spend a relaxed time together. The professional crew (skipper and cook/deckhand) look after the guests’ comfort and safety. You are a guest and may simply unwind – you are not expected to help out actively. The aim: a relaxed time with fine memories. The catamaran is usually underway for two to four hours a day.

Activities

  • Swimming from the bathing platform at the anchor stops
  • Shore excursions or going ashore on your own
  • Watersports: kayaks or SUP, snorkelling
  • Relaxing aboard during the passage to the next anchorage
  • Time on the beach

The adventure of being at sea

Gliding along the trampoline net above the waves. On this cruise aboard a sailing catamaran there is no entitlement that she will sail under canvas – in unfavourable winds she also proceeds under engine.

Simply arrive and unwind.

Cabins

Modern, light-filled cabins aboard the Bali 5.4

The catamaran offers 6 cabins for 12 guests. Each cabin has a private bathroom with shower and WC. Standard cabins are located amidships in the hulls. The Superior Cabins are positioned forward or aft in the hull, are slightly larger and brighter.

Route

The markers show possible anchorages. The skipper selects the specific places on site, depending on current conditions. Route, stops and order may change at the skipper's discretion. No mutual claims arise from route adjustments. Claims are not excluded where the route change is wilfully caused by the guest.

Region: Leeward Islands - the northern Lesser Antilles

What makes this region special

The British Virgin Islands are a small island group, just sixty kilometres at their longest extent. What makes them one of the most famous sailing grounds in the world is the Sir Francis Drake Passage - a long, sheltered corridor of water between the main islands, where the trade wind blows steadily all year round and the waves never build high. The islands are never more than two hours' sailing apart, and in every other bay a character of its own awaits you.

Tortola, the largest island, is the starting point of most voyages. Norman Island, with the bay of The Bight and the Caves for snorkelling, was supposedly the model for Stevenson's Treasure Island. Peter Island has White Bay with powder-white sand. Cooper Island is small and quiet, with a single little beach restaurant at the anchorage.

Virgin Gorda has the Baths - granite boulders, the emblem of the BVI - and in the north the North Sound, a huge sheltered anchorage. Anegada, in the far north and the only flat island in the group, has the longest sandy beaches and the best lobster restaurants in the Caribbean.

Jost Van Dyke, small and to the west, is famous for two bars that have become Caribbean classics: Foxy's in Great Harbour and the Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay. The latter got its name because, decades ago, guests swam ashore from their boats and laid their soaked banknotes on the counter. The Painkiller cocktail was invented here.
