Bali 4.1 — Greece A catamaran charter in Greece answers a simple question: how much space do you actually want around you? On board a Bali 4.1, the answer is generous. The platform is wide, stable and open, and the day organises itself around where you feel like sitting — forward on the trampolines as the anchor comes up, aft in the shade once the sun climbs, or on the flybridge for the long crossing between islands. Accommodation is arranged across six cabins for up to twelve guests: four cabins with a double bed and two cabins with a single bed. It is a layout that suits a large family or two or three couples travelling together — everyone has somewhere to retreat to, which matters more than people expect after a week at sea. Catamarans reward a certain kind of itinerary in Greece. Shallow draft opens up anchorages a monohull of similar size would have to admire from a distance, and the absence of heel makes lunch at anchor, or a passage across the Cyclades in a stiff meltemi afternoon, considerably more civilised. The crew handles the sailing, the provisioning and the daily rhythm of the charter, working around your pace rather than a schedule. Tell them what kind of week you have in mind — busy and social, or slow and anchored — and the route follows from there.
