Bali Catamarans produce so many model upgrades that it's hard to keep up with them all. The Bali 4.2 catamaran is promoted as having a deck area 10% larger than competitors in the same category, making it a great choice for family charter holidays. The model first appeared in charter in 2022, and the global fleet is growing steadily.
The Bali catamaran's success has seen the brand expand its range regularly, even during the difficult times of pandemics and supply chain issues. The Bali 4.2 continues the development of the boatyard's smaller models of catamaran that started with the 4.0 then advanced through the 4.1.
The design is bulkhead free with unobstructed living space from stem to stern. Te large forward cockpit is complemented by a coach roof relaxation area and wide bench seat aft. The moveable 'Bali door' and retractable windows turn the boat's living space outside-in, giving everyone the feeling of space and freedom that makes for a happy sailing holiday crew.
The Bali 4.2 was 1 year old and very comfortable and well suited to island cruising with shallow draft. It had plenty of room for 6 people, having 4 double cabins and their own en-suites. Main cabin very comfortable. Fridge freezer adequate good. The rear of main cabin opened like a large garage door allowing space even when rain was around. Cooking was good, with stovetop, oven and outside bbq all used.

Highlights of the destination: anchoring off Ile Mahaea, Tahaa over 2m sandy bottom, beautiful for swimming and fishing. Mooring at Taurere, Piti Aau, Bora Bora was the highlight, with breathtaking scenery and beautiful swimming. Mooring near Anapa Pearl farm, Raiatea, beautiful snorkelling and the Pearl farm tour and more snorkelling was worthwhile.
How was our service? Sail Connections were very helpful, particularly facilitating the switch from troubled New Caledonia to French Polynesia. We worked out our 8 night itinerary but it would be good for Sail Charters to have a suggested itinerary. The Base Guide did have suggested stops but no sample itineraries, with simple chart.
