Sail in style aboard a sleek 2024 Bali 42-foot catamaran built around Bali’s signature open-concept layout: an expansive salon with panoramic windows, an oversized aft opening door that erases the line between interior and sea, multiple lounge areas and comfortable stateroom accommodations. The boat’s forward lounge and elevated flybridge create distinct settings for sunbathing and sunset cocktails, while the model’s stability and modern design make it equally suited to effortless half‑day coastal cruising or longer adventures.

THE BOAT

Open‑concept 42' Bali: roomy, modern, effortless

The 2024 Bali catamaran emphasizes volume and a seamless indoor‑outdoor flow: oversized aft door, panoramic salon windows, comfortable staterooms and multiple lounges that make the vessel feel far larger than its length implies.

THE VIEW

Flybridge and forward lounge for elevated sightlines

An elevated flybridge provides an ideal perch for sunset drinks and long views along the coast, while the forward lounge is designed for sunbathing and relaxed observation underway.

THE WILDLIFE

Dolphin encounters and personalized routing

Charlters frequently encounter marine life — if you find a playful pod, the crew can linger for dolphin watching — and itineraries are flexible so the route can be tailored to what guests want to see and do.

What the day feels like

What a Half‑Day Feels Like

A four‑hour outing on this Bali catamaran moves at an easy, social pace: slip out of the marina, spread out across multiple lounges, take turns on the forward sunpad and the flybridge, and let the crew set a relaxed rhythm. The design keeps everyone visually connected to the sea, so even at anchor you feel immersed in the coast and ready to respond to wildlife sightings or guest requests to tweak the route.
