BALI CATSMART — Croatia A Bali is recognisable before you even step aboard, and the Catsmart stays true to the family. The signature BALI door — the tilting glazed panel that lifts to merge saloon and cockpit into one continuous living space — is here, as is the solid foredeck that replaced the trampoline and gave the yard its reputation. It is a small design decision with a large daily consequence: the bow becomes a real place to sit, sunbathe and eat, not something you crawl across. Accommodation runs to six cabins for ten guests: four cabins with a double bed, and two cabins with a single bed. That layout suits the kind of charter this catamaran does best — extended families, two or three couples travelling together, groups who want their own door to close rather than a shared dormitory. Twin helm stations make manoeuvring and sailing straightforward, and the platform is built for the rhythm most guests actually want in Croatia: a few hours under sail between islands, then a long afternoon at anchor in a bay off Hvar or in the Kornati, swimming off the stern and returning to the shaded cockpit for lunch. Your crew handles the passage planning, the anchorages and the meals, adjusting the itinerary to the wind and to how the day is going. Uncomplicated, comfortable, well suited to the Adriatic.
