EAGLE

Built in 2022 by Bali Catamarans, EAGLE brings the shipyard's practical, volume-first approach to cruising the Greek islands. At 14.94m / 49ft, she is a sailing catamaran in the truest sense: shallow draft, wide beam, and the kind of stability that lets you eat, sleep and move about without ever bracing yourself. Accommodation is unusually generous for the length. Five cabins host up to 12 guests — four with a double bed, and a fifth fitted with twin beds — each served by its own en-suite facilities. It is a layout that suits two or three families sailing together, or a group of friends who want their own space at the end of the day rather than a shared bunkroom. Life aboard a Bali catamaran centres on the connection between saloon and cockpit: the living space opens up into one continuous, shaded area, so the boundary between inside and out largely disappears. Add the forward deck lounging space typical of the range, and you have several distinct places to spend an afternoon at anchor in the Cyclades or the Ionian. Under power she cruises at 7 knots, with a top speed of 8 knots — the measured pace of island-hopping, where the point is the anchorage rather than the passage. Embarkation is from 17:00 on the first day, with the yacht delivered fuelled, watered and freshly prepared. Return to the base is required by 18:00 the evening before disembarkation, with guests ashore by 09:00.
