Bali Charter Programs & Tax Program

Catamarans have become so popular in the last ten years that the demand far outweighs the supply. This is great for owners, but not so much for buyers. Catamaran values hold better and longer than monohull values because the market just does not have enough multihulls to fill the demand. New catamarans with increasingly high tech construction and bells and whistles throughout for creature comfort are becoming more and more expensive. So we are always looking at ways to reduce costs of yacht ownership for our clients. Learn about our charter yacht management programs and boat as a business programs  including our co- management program with tax advantages , monthly income and other attractive benefits. Bali catamarans are available in these programs and our services come at NO EXTRA cost to you!

Bali Catamaran Brokerage

Catamaran Guru can represent you as your buyer’s broker if you are in the market for a pre-owned catamaran. Being represented by a professional brokerage house does not add a penny to the yacht purchase price. Yes, the buyer’s broker is totally free to the buyer. So why not work with your own broker who will work for you when looking to buy a boat? Search our Global Catamaran Search for pre-owned catamarans .

Meet the Bali 5.8

• By Kim Kavin
• March 8, 2024

Catana Group has launched its 14th Bali Catamarans model: the Bali 5.8. It’s a 59-foot boat with a nearly 30-foot beam.

The design, according to the builder, allows for nearly 20 percent more space on board than traditional catamarans of the same size.

The owner’s stateroom is en suite with an oversized shower. Each of the guest staterooms has an island berth, allowing easy access on either side. Owners can also order the boat with twin berths, and a six-stateroom version is available. Bali’s team notes that even in that six-stateroom version, each of the staterooms has separate showers and toilets. In the master version of the vessel, a captain’s cabin is available.

The galley has cupboards and a widened countertop that is U-shaped, to accommodate several people underway. The dining area seats 12 people with a lounger where guests can relax in between meals. There’s also an integrated bar.

A deep, wide outside bench seat faces the saloon for stretching out with a good book, or indulging in a nap. Forward, there’s a door and an opening window, allowing in fresh air for natural ventilation.

The forward-facing chart table is set apart, so skippers can plan routes while being within earshot of the saloon, but without being disturbed.

Outside the forward door is a foredeck for sunbathing, dining and lounging. There’s also a rooftop for relaxing or congregating with friends.

The sail handling and helm areas are clearly delineated. A hardtop (or a Bimini top) covers the entire flybridge, and solar panels are integrated.

At the stern are steps for accessing the water. A chair is installed here for views aft. The optional hydraulic swim platform can lift a tender, or can be lowered just beneath the surface for use as an onboard beach.

In terms of sailing, there’s a self-tacking jib for upwind performance in strong winds. A code zero can be handled from the cockpit. The boat’s weight is reduced by the use of carbon in place of bulkhead reinforcements, similar to on the Catana line. This method of construction also helps to minimize squeaks and creaks underway.

When will sailors be able to get on board the Bali 5.8 for a look? The boat is expected to be at the Cannes Yachting Festival, which is scheduled to run September 10-15. It is Europe’s largest in-water show for new and pre-owned boats up to 164 feet long.

Bali 4.1 (Italy)

S/V Sabatica is a 2019 Bali 4.1 catamaran, for sale by owner. Never chartered. Second owners. Low engine hours. Major upgrades in 2023 for performance, comfort and security on the hook: Watermaker, Washing Machine, Ultra Anchor, 600 Ah Lithium House Batteries, Stainless Steel Solar Platform for a total of 1610W production, Solenoid switch propane control from the galley, Bow Sprit and Screecher, window screens, full cushions and foredeck sun shade. Hauled out and bottom painted in 2023. Engines and sail drives serviced in 2023.

We chose the Bali 4.1 model in general, and this 4 cabin/2 bathroom layout in particular, because we felt it offered the best comfort and living space in a vessel of this size while remaining a lively and seaworthy vessel.

Currently docked in Licata, Sicily. Could be available as soon as August in Western Italy or September in the Balearics. Thereafter moored in Southern Spain. Other locations are possible subject to negotiation. Sabatica would be sold ready to go with tools and cruising gear.

Bali 4.0 Open Space (Caribbean)

S/V Maeva is a 2019 Bali 4.0 catamaran, for sale by owner. We ordered and bought this catamaran new in March 2019, it was built at the Marans factory in La Rochelle. We spent our first year in the Canaries and Cape Verde, then crossed the Atlantic in 2020 and spent the last 4 years exploring the Caribbean.

It’s fully equipped (all the original options plus the excellence pack, AC watermaker, solar panels, etc.). She’s been maintained to an exemplary standard. She’s ready for your round-the-world trip or simply to live full-time in the Caribbean.

The Bali 4.0 offers a particularly innovative layout. A large saloon-cockpit area with a huge opening. Flying bridge and forward cockpit. A Owner’s version + 2 guest cabins and a large head in the starboard hull.

Bali 4.5 Flybridge (Florida)

S/V Ocean Ghost is a Canadian Flagged 2019, 4+2 Cabin/ 4 head live aboard ready Bali 4.5 Flybridge model catamaran, for sale by owner. Exceptional design and layout make this 45 foot catamaran feel much larger. Spacious cabins, tons of outdoor living space, including the Bali signature solid foredeck!

The Catana Bali 4.5 was built to mark the 30th anniversary of the Catana Group. The aim was to attract a wider range of cruiser sailors by continuing using high quality building materials and processes while offering a reasonable price range.

This boat has been expertly cared for and maintained, and shows like brand new. With a full size residential fridge and TONS of storage space, and loads of upgrades, this boat is ready for its next family to enjoy and explore the world!

The Bali is well-thought-out as a cruising boat. It is clean, modern, functional and airy with easy to maintain surfaces. The “interactive” inside-outside living areas, all on one level, makes this 45ft catamaran feel huge. Immense interior and exterior living spaces with a sleek design, incredibly bright, panoramic views, fully opening forward window, forward and cockpit sunbathing areas, fully equipped and a level of self-sufficiency unique in its class.

The popular Bali Catamaran in all its variations

The Bali catamaran, designed and built specifically with chartering in mind, has become so popular that it’s been hard to keep up with all the new models, hard to spot which one has just the right size and amenities to perfectly fit your group's sailing holiday charter needs. 

So we decided to write a short article for our blog. It’s not exhaustive, and it’s not intended to place the Bali above the rest of the cruising catamaran brands in charter. Quite the opposite. The table below forms a snapshot of one popular brand typical of all those out there. We hope it helps you cut through the noise as your selection process begins.

Beginnings of the Bali Catamaran

Bali charter catamarans come from the French boatbuilder Catana Group. Prior to the Bali’s appearance, Catana had carved a name for their true blue-water cruiser, boats with dagger boards and large sail plans.

Recognising these boats were not ideal for holiday chartering, and to meet the growing demand in this new leisure travel sector, Catana set its designers to work on a craft that was specifically designed an built with chartering in mind. The Bali is the result - a new sort of cat, one that emphasised living space and ease of helming for the modern leisure sailor with family and friends along on vacation. 

That's not to say the other catamaran manufacturers were not already offering new charter boat options. The likes of Lagoon, Leopard and Fountaine Pajot were equally developing ranges to meet market demand, and through the 2000s some fabulous cruising cats suitable for charter began coming into service.

So many Bali cats in an expanding market

Bali's innovations gave them a footing in the fast-growing sailing vacation market of the early 2010s and success has bred success. Catana have launched so many Bali models in the ensuing decade that it is often quite challenging to convey differences in models, differences often subtle but important in our drive to ensure our boat recommendations are the right ones.

In 2014 The first Bali model hit the water - the four-cabin 4.5, appearing on the books of charter operators in the Mediterranean and Caribbean before spreading elsewhere. There was a new name in our vocabulary, and it fast became a frequently used one.

In the years since, we have added all Bali models to our charter offerings as they have progressively been introduced to the market. Our collection now stands at nine current and five older models ranging from 11 metres (37ft) to 16.4 metres (54 feet), from versions with two double cabins to six, and with a motor boat for those who prefer power to sail. All are available for bareboat charter with or without skipper, and there are a number of 5.4s in charter fully crewed.

A summary of Bali catamarans for charter

With boats dating back to 2014 and three completely new models in the 2020’s, our Bali selection now appears as follows:

Notes re cabin numbers:

Most Bali models include the option of fewer cabins than itemised above. Those boats are Owner’s Versions , with one large cabin fully occupying a hull. In charter, the higher number of cabins listed for each model, as above, is the standard and are a significant majority of the options available at any given time. 

Bow cabins are small singles, normally used by crew if engaged.

Making your choice of catamarans for charter

All of these Bali catamarans are listed on our website in the destinations they operate. There are many factors in setting prices and older does not necessarily mean cheaper. Furthermore, there are many cats in charter from other boatyards that can undoubtedly be considered alongside the Bali boats.

If you are considering a great all-round catamaran with modern innovations for charter in any of our destinations, we hope this guide provides a practical overview of one popular brand. The next step is to talk to us for full details of the options that best suit your group, and informed comparisons for making your choice. Book your ideal sailing holiday charter catamaran, and then just go sailing!

A Mediterranean sailing charter is the ultimate yachting adventure for weekend sailors. An experience that’s very accessible, but keep in mind that in Europe there’s also a formal requirement for chartering bareboat.

Bareboat Luxury at an Affordable Price: Crunching the Numbers

In 2019 the Bali 5.4 catamaran entered charter fleets with the bareboat option added. Until now such a large boat was only available with paid skipper and crew.
