Bali 4.2 layout: multiple lounges and seamless indoor-outdoor flow
Wanderlust’s design emphasizes social life aboard: a solid forward lounge, an aft cockpit linked to the salon by Bali’s signature door system, a panoramic climate-controlled salon, and an elevated flybridge provide varied vantage points as the sun sets.
Wide-beam stability and dry bow seating
The twin-hull Bali platform delivers a smooth, level ride whether underway or at anchor, and the couch-style bow seating offers a dry, front-row view of the horizon.
Anchor, sip, and watch the light change
Charters typically glide past waterfront homes, pause in calm waters for conversation or cocktails, and use the swim platform for brief anchorage moments — golden hour on the water is the trip’s defining image.
