Bali 4.6 — Greece The Bali 4.6 carries forward the design language first seen on the Bali 4.8 and later echoed across the Catspace range: softer lines, hull windows set more cleanly into the topsides, and fuller bows. On the water it reads less like a production catamaran and more like a considered piece of naval architecture — which, once you are aboard in the Cyclades with the wind astern, translates into something simpler still: space, stability and shade. Accommodation runs to seven cabins for twelve guests. Four cabins are fitted with a double bed, two with a single bed, and one with bunk beds — a layout that suits two families sailing together, or a group of friends who would rather not draw lots for the best cabin. Everyone has a berth of their own, and nobody is asked to sleep in the saloon. Greece is the natural stage for a catamaran of this kind. Shallow draft opens up anchorages a monohull of the same length would have to admire from a distance, and the wide beam means breakfast, siesta and sundowners can each have their own corner of the deck without anyone moving furniture. The yacht is offered with crew, who handle navigation, meals and the daily rhythm of the charter — including the quiet work of knowing which bay will be calm when the meltemi fills in.
