Exceptional Mid-Size Cruising

Building on its popular “open space” concept sailing catamarans, the new Bali 4.2 is well-positioned to reign in the mid-sized market with the customary CATANA shipyard innovations and seakeeping qualities that make for an exceptional cruising experience.

Designed by Olivier Poncin, Xavier FAŸ, and the CATANA team, the 4.2 features spacious unobstructed social areas, panoramic views and a saloon that opens entirely to the aft cockpit with the signature Bali tilt-and-turn door.

As always, Bali has delivered a cruiser that optimizes living space and comfort without compromising safety and performance – an outstanding catamaran for both day sailing and extended bluewater cruising.

 

Outdoor Comfort Redefined

Social gathering spaces are a priority on the Bali 4.2, as evidenced by the expansive foredeck cockpit with wraparound bench seating and dinette. A massive cushioned sun bed replaces the traditional catamaran trampoline – ideal for relaxed lounging and socializing.

The flybridge is accessed via the port or starboard stairs, and features forward-facing lounge seating, plus a large sunbed area. Both allow guests plenty of room to enjoy 360 views and easy conversation with the helmsman.

To aft, the wide transom steps provide access for swimming or to the dinghy davits for easily launching the tender. The aft cockpit integrates with the interior saloon using the electric tilting “garage door” style opener, to instantly create a large open-air gathering area.

 

Modern Efficiency

Another exciting feature on the Bali 4.2 – normally found only on larger catamarans – is a convenient front door for access to the forward deck from the saloon and galley. Both the foredeck and saloon dining areas are conveniently served from the large well-equipped galley, complete with a full size refrigerator.
The saloon has a warm, comfortable feel with clean lines and modern finishes.

The 4.2 is available in your choice of 3- or 4-cabin layout. The 3-cabin/3-bath layout features a massive owner’s suite occupying the port hull, with settee, desk area, and bath with separate shower stall. Or, choose a 4-cabin/4-bath version for charter or larger crews.
