It was one of the world premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival, one of the boats that charter operators, and not only them, had marked on their agendas: we are talking about the Catena Group’s new Bali 5.2.
A super cruiser, characterized by an extreme search for space and comfort, but as has been the case for a few models now Bali has not only designed the 5.2 for charter but also for owner cruising, focusing on a wide range of interior layouts. We went aboard the novelty on two hulls, and we tell you about it in this video preview.
Bali 5.2 – The Video
Bali 5.2, what a catamaran it is
The BALI 5.2 (115.90×8.16 m, full data sheet in the video) is available with 3, 4, 5 and 6 cabins. She offers a wide range of customizations and configurations to suit a family or charter crew program. If needed, the BALI 5.2 can accommodate up to 16 guests. The rear cabins of the 6-berth version can accommodate 3 people each, and for even greater comfort in this version, the toilets are separate from the showers. An additional bunk bed is available for the crew in this configuration.
Unmissable on the outside are some of the elements that have characterized Bali production in recent years: the swinging and revolving door, the foredeck and the door between the saloon and the forward cockpit.
The rear beach area offers a real BeachClub with a hydraulic platform that is also functional for the tender or for bathing. The forward cockpit, on the other hand, is a real space for playing, eating, chatting, and resting, even when sailing. The connection with the dinette through the entrance door makes it a space fully integrated into the boat.
In addition to the maneuvering area, the fly bridge is also designed to be used as a living area, with a table equipped with a refrigerator and a C-shaped sofa. The upper deck is covered by a hard top on which solar panels are optionally installed.
