Following the launch of the Catsmart, the smallest model in the Bali range, just over a year ago, it’s time for a new flagship! The Bali 5.4, voted Multihull of the Year in its category in 2019, will soon no longer be the largest Bali. A 5.8 has been announced, with a 1,500 square foot (139,5 m²) platform, a surface area almost 20% larger than other equivalent models.
The integral deck is able to offer both a forward cockpit and a real beach club area at the stern - connected to a hydraulic platform - but also optimal rigidity. To keep weight under control, the yard has used Catana technology, implementing carbon structural bulkheads. While the overall design remains in keeping with the Bali style, the coachroof is slightly larger, with narrower side decks.
On board, you’ll find the opening forward door, the saloon-cockpit (a true Bali signature) and the famous tilting aft door. The galley, chart table and cabins (of which there are anywhere from 3 to 6, depending on the version) are all designed in an XXL spirit that should satisfy the most demanding owners in terms of comfort. The saloon can accommodate no less than 12 guests. As for the flybridge, it becomes a genuine rooftop!
