Sailboat Review: New Models from Bali Catamaran

By Mark Pillsbury
November 14, 2022

When Cruising World ’s Boat of the Year judges step aboard a new sailboat, the first thing they ask the builder for is the boat’s design brief. Racing? Bluewater voyaging? Coastal cruising? Chartering? Daysailing? What’s the boat built to do?

In the case of two new Bali Catamarans , introduced to North America this past fall during the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, the manufacturer’s intent seemed perfectly clear: These cats were built for hanging out on the water with family and friends, or perhaps for owners interested in putting them into a charter fleet to help pay the bills. “Pampered crew” were two words that came immediately to mind when I stepped aboard.

Both cats—the Bali 4.6 and Bali Catspace—were conceived of by Olivier Poncin, founder of the Catana Group, and designed by the in-house team that has been building well-respected performance catamarans at their yard in France for nearly four decades now.

When I think about Catana Catamarans, features such as daggerboards, sleek hulls and powerful sail plans designed to gobble up ocean miles come immediately to mind. When I think about Bali, my mind turns to comfortable surroundings and tropical anchorages, with soothing trade winds blowing through the saloon and multiple places to lounge in the sun or shade.

The Catana Group launched the Bali brand in 2014, on the company’s 30th anniversary. At the time, the multihull market was exploding, and while Catana had a strong following at the performance end of the speed-comfort continuum, their boats were expensive and geared to a niche market. Balis, on the other hand, were designed and built to be “more accessible in terms of price,” the company’s online brochure notes, and “therefore aimed at a wider clientele.” It’s no accident that many of those clients chose to add their Balis to charter fleets in the Caribbean and other tropical spots around the world. As a result, the brand took off, to the point where today, it takes up the bulk of Catana’s production capacity.

The 4.6 and Catspace share many of the same features found across the Bali Range: solid composite foredecks rather than the trampolines found on most catamarans; multiple spaces to kick back and relax; home-style refrigerators in the galleys; large sliding windows on the cabin sides; and garage-style doors that open and lift overhead aft in the saloon, making it difficult to discern where the interior stops and the great outdoors begins.

The sail-away prices of the boats we visited in Annapolis were $920,000 for the 4.6 and $550,000 for the Catspace. In all, Bali manufactures seven sailing models and two power cats, so buyers have options when it comes to size and price.

Bali hulls and decks are resin-infused and foam-cored, which makes them strong and stiff while saving weight. Throughout the range, Balis are built with short, fixed keels, affixed to relatively beamy hulls that have abundant load-carrying capacity. In practice, that means the boats can be loaded with gear such as air conditioning, appliances and generators—and toys and provisions for all the crew.

With a length overall of 44 feet, 6 inches, the 4.6 presents a number of interesting features and options. First, there is the flybridge, set atop the cockpit Bimini and a portion of cabin top abaft the mast. It can be reached via steps on either side deck. A helm station is to port, with a bench that seats two comfortably. Adjacent to it is a good-size table with L-shaped seating around it, and sun beds behind. The wheel itself is mounted on a pedestal, and there’s room to walk in front, between it and the winches mounted on the cabin top. With this arrangement, there’s room for the crew to jump in and help trim sails, though without helpers, it does require the skipper to rely on the autopilot when leaving the helm to tend to sheets.

Underway, I liked the setup. There was good visibility, both around the boat and also of the mainsail overhead, thanks to a window in the canvas Bimini. The main was simple to control using the double-ended sheet led to blocks on the corners of the flybridge, replacing the traveler. The arrangement is especially good for jibing.

In a good breeze, 10 to 12 knots, our speed over the ground hovered right around 5 knots; we added a knot to that when we bore off to a beam reach. If I bought the boat and didn’t have plans to put it into charter, I’d definitely add a code zero to my sail arsenal.

Down below, I liked the layout of the saloon as well. With the sliding windows and overhead door open, I had the feeling of being outside, sitting in the shade. The dining table is to port; two chairs are opposite. Forward of the table is an L-shaped galley to port with loads of counter space; a large fridge and freezer sits opposite, with a proper nav station tucked forward, surrounded by windows and adjacent to the centerline door leading to another lounge area on the foredeck.

Depending on how the boat will be used, there are a few different layouts for the staterooms and heads, ranging from a three-stateroom version, where the entire starboard hull is the owner’s en suite, to four- and even five-stateroom layouts. In the latter, access to the port aft stateroom is by a companionway from the cockpit, and a stateroom with bunk beds is amidships, with a third stateroom forward. Crew berths in either forepeak are also available.

The 4.6 we tested in Annapolis was powered by a pair of 57 hp Yanmars with saildrives; 45 hp Yanmars are standard.

A t just over 37 feet length overall, the Catspace is one of the smaller production cats available these days. It also has an airy feeling in the saloon’s dining and lounging area, thanks to a similar aft door arrangement. But space doesn’t permit a second door to the foredeck. Instead, there’s a larger center window that opens to let in the breeze, and the galley (including a full-size fridge) is in the forward starboard corner of the main cabin.

Available layouts include a three-stateroom version, where the owner’s stateroom occupies the port hull, or a charter-friendly four-stateroom layout, with athwartship bunks in the two forward staterooms.

As with its bigger sister, the Catspace has lounge areas on the foredeck and atop its flybridge. The helm station is up top too, to starboard, and is surrounded on the side and behind with cushions. Unlike the 4.6, the Catspace’s winches are close at hand when sitting at the wheel. A singlehander or skipper with a short-handed crew will appreciate this. I found access to the flybridge via stairs from either side deck to be quite good, with handholds located where I needed them.

Again, if I planned to buy and sail the Catspace, I’d include a code zero or some other all-round reaching sail to add a little more get-up-and-go. We went sailing in about 15 knots of wind and notched about 4 knots on the speedo closehauled. In a higher puff, I saw just under 6 knots reaching. But was it a comfortable ride? You bet.

As stated at the outset, sailboats are built to suit a purpose. During a Boat of the Year debrief this past fall, judge Tim Murphy told his colleagues that overall, he thought that the open-air concept incorporated into the design of the 4.6 and Catspace works quite well. Recalling a weeklong vacation spent with five friends aboard an earlier Bali model, he said, “On the charter, it was actually delightful.”

Next Generation Bali

New for 2020, the Bali 4.6 builds on the success of the 4.5 , as well as other acclaimed Bali models, while simultaneously raising the bar for her class of recreational cruising catamarans . This ambitious new model from Olivier Poncin and the acclaimed CATANA R&D team is a head-turner from the start with smooth modern lines, integrated hull windows, and more space for living in comfort and style . You’ll immediately recognize the Bali DNA in many of her design features, including the sweeping, rigid foredeck cockpit providing the perfect sunbathing area , and the signature garage door-style aft opening that seamlessly joins interior and exterior spaces. And naturally, she provides the peace of mind and seakeeping qualities that comes with a yacht with a CATANA shipyard build.

Unprecedented Flow

The easy flow throughout is impossible to miss, starting with dual access points to the striking flybridge via the safe built-in stairs on either side. Once topside, visibility and handling from the port-side helm station is excellent , and guests will enjoy the cushioned L-shaped lounge area and massive double sunbed . Flow is further enhanced by the glass door opening from the saloon to the forward cockpit. Wide side decks make it safe and easy to traverse from the foredeck to aft, where built-in transom steps provide convenient access to the water.

Airy Accommodations

The Bali 4.6 rewrites the definition of a sleek, modern interior , all the while maintaining many of the breezy comforts and conveniences of home . Natural light and ventilation are maximized by opening doors and windows both fore and aft. Her galley is spacious and efficient , with plenty of storage , along with a full-size refrigerator/freezer that will delight the ship’s cook. Throughout, the saloon, galley and cockpit provide an unmatched open-air living experience and a generous volume that’s more commonly found on a much larger yacht. Owners will delight in the numerous cabin layout options that include a 3-cabin/3-bath version with decadent starboard owner’s suite, a 4-cabin/4-bath version – and a 5-cabin/4-bath version unprecedented in the class.

The Bali 4.6 Catamaran

Catana continues to astound with another large catamaran full on innovation and elegance. Announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019, the daring new model was at the top of multi-hull enthusiasts’ must-see models at the show. The 4.6 replaces the Bali 4.5

Bali 4.6 design incorporates the wow factor we expect from Bali including the front door and saloon open to the cockpit through sliding glass doors or the brand’s tilting door. The catamaran’s layout offers a unique walkaround traffic path on its deck and a beautiful flybridge. Setting the Bali 4.6 from the rest of the range are subtle but powerful changes in design such as softening of her lines with completely integrated hull windows and sleeker bows. Her accommodating 5 cabin/4 bath layout option is one-of-a-kind in its class.

Bali 4.6 Layout Options

The Bali 4.6 offers 4 versions:

Owners’ Suite with 3 cabins / 3 bathrooms
Owners’ Suite with 4 cabins / 3 bathrooms
Charter version with 4 cabins / 4 bathrooms
Charter version 5 cabins / 4 bathrooms.(excellent option for crewed charter)

Bali 4.6 Design and Exterior

Bali 4.6 interior, bali 4.6 performance, bali 4.6 customer feedback.

Final Verdict for Bali 4.6

The Bali 4.6 is just over 14m in length, with a sleek design and a spacious layout. As with every catamaran, the hulls house the boat’s accommodation, and she can come in a 3, 4, or 5 cabin version.

The deck offers substantial space to relax: a large cozy seating area on the flybridge next to the helm, a salon with a family-style table, and an amazing sunbed at the foredeck.

She has a large fully battened mainsail, a self-tacking jib, and electrical winches which makes sailing very easy - exactly what you need for a safe and enjoyable holiday! The rigging on this beauty is well designed, resulting in easy control of the sails too!

Bali Catamarans are specific as they have a solid foredeck (no trampoline), their famous garage-style door, high quality construction, and impressive performance. You cannot miss a Bali Catamaran as they truly stand out.

The interior is extraordinary. The cabins have en-suite bathrooms and large windows for natural light and spectacular views that you can enjoy while still laying in bed. Cabins are functional and comfortable so whichever cabin version catamaran you choose, storage will never be an issue.

The galley is 5-star level and fully equipped: with a double-sided fridge, gas stove, dishwasher, freezer with chilled water, and an ice maker (different charter yachts will feature different amenities). Its open living area merges the cockpit and saloon into one large spac e.

This top-notch yacht is well equipped with all the latest technology - modern navigation and electronic equipment, autopilot systems, GPS chart plotters, inverters, generators and solar panels. You’ve got it all.

Thinking about chilling with a movie? Relax in front of the flat screen TV and turn up the cinema-like stereo system to get the full experience. If nights are hot, you can cool down the interior with the air conditioning, or turn on the heating when the nights are cool.

The Bali 4.6 is fast and easy to sail. She has a self-tacking jib - which is very helpful as the crew does not have to adjust the sail’s angle manually, making this catamaran easier to handle and more maneuverable.

She also has a raised helm station which provides excellent visibility when sailing, especially in tight spaces. The 360’ view makes sailing so much easier. She is very easy to maneuver as she is equipped with twin diesel engines, allowing for a lot of power and control.

The Bali 4.6 is designed with both comfort and ease of use in mind, making her an excellent choice for sailors. However, if you want a truly relaxing holiday on this catamaran, we recommend chartering her with a skipper and for an extra luxurious stay onboard, additional crew (hostess/chef). Read more about skippered holidays .

The Bali 4.6 has been well-received and praised by many sailors. Some of the stand-out points are that she is a luxurious, comfortable, easy-to-use, and well-designed catamaran. The open space concept is highlighted as one of her greatest attributes for socializing.

It is hard to point out the cons of such a popular catamaran. If you are traveling with large bulky items, storage might be an issue. Price is also something to consider as she can be more expensive compared to others in her class, especially in the high season!

Up for a tan? The foredeck sunbeds are where you can enjoy most of the sun! If you want to enjoy beautiful 360 views and drink your cocktail while anchored in a secluded bay in the shade, head for the helm station.

This popular catamaran is often compared to other catamarans. The Lagoon 46 is a similar sized catamaran with a spacious interior, but is more performance oriented. You can read more in our Lagoon 46 review .

Final Verdict for Bali 4.6

Bali Catamarans can be found in several sizes and models. The new Catsmart and Catspace models are the future of the Bali Catamarans, as well as larger Bali models such as Bali 4.8 and Bali 5.4. Feel free to contact the Yacht4Less team to get more information about these models if you are in the market for an even bigger catamaran.

If you feel that the Bali 4.6 is a perfect fit, the Yacht4Less team will gladly help you find a local one available for your preferred dates and destination. Since these catamarans are very popular, we suggest booking yours sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.

Overall, the Bali 4.6 is a unique and innovative catamaran offering luxurious living, hotel-style designs and excellent performance. She combines the best of both worlds, sailing and entertainment, and is ideal for a large group of friends or family.
