Deck & Flybridge Catana® Group has entered the Leisure / Chartering Yachting Market by creating a unique breed of pleasure Catamarans: BALI® Catamarans. The France’s leading performance boat builder per excellence, has certainly had the entire industry jaw dropping reactions, especially on their new creative designs and the BALI® innovations. During its world premiere in April, at Multihull Show in France, BALI® proudly presented the first POWER CAT ever: The “BALI® 4.3 MY”, a powerful 42 ft Catamaran with a whopping 500 HP. To make this even bigger, the Showboat #1 Hull is coming straight to the Philippines, thanks to Sustainable Charters (www.catamaran.ph), Bali’s nr 1 Distributor in South- East Asia. I have been privileged, to be invited aboard it’s “sister boat” the Bali 4.3 Sail, when it was in Subic Bay for the Verde Island Regatta. I also boarded the Bali 4.1 Sail, in Manila Yacht club. And I was able to see first-hand the luxurious opulence of the Catana Bali boats, and it’s “Open Space Concept”. Bali’s innovations, designs & finishes exceeded all my expectations, to be honest. It was like stepping onboard a Catamaran re-invented in all aspects. Every space is ergonomically designed. The finishes are flawless. You get on board a 42ft Catamaran of BALI® but you have the impression to be on a 52 footer boat right away. Bali is all about space & luxury. In 2012, Catana® Group, decided to create a new line of Catamarans made for the Leisure and Chartering segment. The BALI® Catamaran series, 4.0, 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.8 up to the flagship 5.4 were created. The BALI 5.4 SAIL, just won best Catamaran <strong>2019</strong> Worldwide, during the EU Show in La Grande Motte, April <strong>2019</strong>. But what really sets BALI® Catamarans apart from all the others brands out there, is that they have innovated, with the “customer “ in mind. Indeed after several years of listening to customers and all Party Deck & Salon Cabins & Suite the charter companies worldwide, BALI’s® Creative Team, came up with the “Open Space Concept” for the ultimate Catamaran experience. Understanding the sense of space, Interiors and most importantly constant airflow & ventilation, BALI® is now the best selling Catamaran in the Philippines for the year up to now. The new BALI 4.3 MY, and the entire BALI Line of catamarans are all featuring voluminous, usable, ergonomic “Open Space” features, such as Aft swing main Door, main galley service window connecting the bar/kitchen to the huge bow “Beach club Bow Sitting/ dining area” and of course the multiple deck access points. BALI® became this year’s most innovative Yachts builder in France. To own a BALI® Catamaran, is like to own a luxurious floating hotel, and to be swift on waters. Best of all the configuration, is the “Owner’s layout”, as the entire port side becomes a real Owners Suite, with lots of space and headroom. On Starboard side, two double cabins are comfortably designed for your guests. Other options are available for large families or those considering to charter, with 4 cabins & 4 bathrooms. All are accessed by steps in the forepart of the saloon, the owner’s suite has a vanity desk, lot of Cabinet storage, Master bed aft and large walk-in bathroom forward, even with its own washing machine. The designers have also ensured there is heaps of storage space in all areas of the boat. All interiors of the Bali are 100% bespoke thanks to Sustainable Charters Group of Companies, which will go out of their way to make sure nothing else on the market is comparable. Client’s wishes are no limits. The Bali 4.3 MY, comes with 2 powerful 250 HP Yanmar (4LV250), allowing an incredible manoeuvrability and inbuilt redundancy. Showing a to top speed of 24.10 knots. Upper deck has a huge party flybridge, being the largest flybridge on Powercat in it’s category. Last but least BALI® 4.3 MY is certified for up to 26 persons (CE-D). With double commanding from Flybridge and the main deck, the BALI® 4.3 Motoryacht is a pleasure to pilot at seas. BALI® 4.3 MY is outclassing by far, its competitors like Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Aquila & others in price, but mostly with innovation, performance & design. Sustainable Charters Inc.
