EPIPHANY

EPIPHANY — 17.07m (56ft) Bali Catamarans, 2023 There is a particular kind of ease that only a catamaran delivers in the Caribbean: the shallow draft that lets you tuck into an anchorage the monohulls have to admire from a distance, the level decks, the absence of roll at anchor. EPIPHANY, launched by Bali Catamarans in 2023, is built around exactly that logic. The layout is unusually democratic. Five cabins, each with a queen-size bed and its own en-suite — no hierarchy of good cabin and consolation cabin, which makes her a genuinely straightforward choice for two or three families travelling together, or a group of couples who would rather not draw lots. Ten guests, comfortably. A crew of two runs her, and on a yacht of this size that ratio works in the guests' favour: service that reads the day rather than imposing a schedule, and a captain who knows which bay will be quiet by late afternoon. Her cruising grounds are the ones this platform was made for — the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, then further down the chain through the Leewards and Windwards. Short hops between islands, long lunches at anchor, and the kind of week where the itinerary settles itself over breakfast.
