The Bali Catamaran Range

Bali doesn’t just make one type of catamaran. They’ve thoughtfully designed boats for different ways people want to experience the water. In 2014, Catana Group expanded its offerings by launching the Bali brand, diversifying its range to cater to sailors who wanted the space of an apartment combined with the seaworthiness of a catamaran. Bali Catamarans provide the versatility to suit every journey.

Bali offers a variety of catamaran models for charter, primarily focused on sailing catamarans but also expanding into power. Whether you’re starting your journey with a Bali catamaran or planning your next adventure, there’s a model to match your needs.

Sailing Catamarans – The Open Space Series: These are the catamarans we recommend most often to families and groups. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice how bright and open they feel—unlike any other boat. The designers clearly spent time thinking about what makes people comfortable: removing bulkheads, installing the signature “tilting garage door,” and creating a seamless flow between the cockpit and saloon. The layout of the cabins and saloon is designed for both comfort and functionality, making the most of the available space for relaxing and socialising.

The current sailing range includes models from the Catspace to the 5.8, known for spacious interiors and customizable options. Bali designs are also characterised by modern hull shapes with fine entry bows, which enhance stability and performance on the water. Bali catamarans are available in a range of lengths and beams, providing options for different group sizes and preferences.

For Those Who Want More Zip: If you’re the type who appreciates the pedigree of the Bali catamarans, you’ll find that even these cruising-focused Balis handle beautifully. They come with self-tacking jibs and high-set booms, and that finely-tuned balance that makes sailing feel accessible yet rewarding.

Power Catamarans – The MY Line: Prefer the purr of an engine to the snap of a sail? Bali’s motor catamarans are sleek, stable, and wonderfully practical. They’re particularly popular around the Mediterranean and Balearics, where guests want to relax on the flybridge, soak up the sun, and glide smoothly from one beautiful spot to the next. Bali expanded into motorboat manufacturing recently, which proved successful and added a new dimension to their offerings.

Optional packs are available to enhance your charter experience, bundling services and amenities for added convenience.

Advantages of Chartering Bali Catamarans

We’ve watched thousands of guests sail off on Bali catamarans, and here’s what they consistently tell us they appreciate:

Layouts That Just Make Sense: The “Bali Door” allows you to lift the entire back wall of the saloon, creating one massive living area where everyone can gather comfortably. This signature feature enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, and with just a touch, you can effortlessly open or close it for ultimate convenience. These boats feel like they were designed by people who understand that holiday sailing is about socialising.

The Rigid Foredeck: Unlike traditional nets, Bali uses a solid foredeck with lounge cushions and tables. This creates a second cockpit at the front, perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks, and transforms the foredeck into a protected, comfortable 'home' living space. The rigid foredeck also provides a unique usable deck area, expanding your options for relaxation and socialising.

Easy to Handle: Whether you’re a seasoned skipper or relatively new to chartering, you’ll appreciate how responsive and balanced these catamarans are. Bali Catamarans are ideal for both experienced sailors and those just starting their journey. They don’t fight you—they work with you. Each Bali catamaran comes equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and stress-free sailing experience.

Support When You Need It: The Catana Group has built a strong network across Europe and beyond, which means if anything needs attention, help isn’t far away. Our dedicated service ensures you have customer assistance and support functions whenever you need them. That peace of mind matters.

Excellent Value: Luxury doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank. Bali offers features you’d expect from super catamarans (like flybridges and full-size fridges), but at rates that make chartering accessible. Optional extras and special discount offers may be available, further enhancing the value for customers. Bali Catamarans also feature large windows and wide aft bench seats, providing exceptional panoramas for everyone on board.

Bali catamarans are renowned for their excellent value for money, innovative French engineering, and seamless integration of comfort with sailing efficiency.

Consistency You Can Count On: Because Bali maintains strict production standards at their factories, you get similar comfort and performance whether you’re chartering in Croatia or the Caribbean.

Crewed or Bareboat Options

We offer Bali catamarans in whatever format suits your experience and preferences. Bali catamarans are available for both bareboat and skippered charters, giving you flexibility in how you want to sail.

Bareboat Charter: If you have your license and love the freedom of being your own captain, this is for you. The boat is yours to command, and the adventure is entirely in your hands.

Skippered Charter: Want to relax without the responsibility? You can hire a professional skipper to operate the catamaran, ensuring a stress-free experience. We’ll pair you with a skipper who knows the local waters. You can be as involved in the sailing as you’d like or simply enjoy the ride.

Crewed Charter: For the ultimate experience, some of our larger Bali catamarans (like the 5.4) come with a full crew. Think of it as a floating boutique hotel where someone else handles absolutely everything.

The License Requirement

If you’re going bareboat, you’ll need to show us:

• A valid sailing license (ICC, RYA Day Skipper, or equivalent national certificate). Note: Some larger catamarans may require a specific catamaran endorsement or higher-level license.

• A VHF radio operator’s certificate (required in Croatia, Greece, Italy, and several other destinations).

After meeting the license requirements, you can begin the booking process by using the search function on our booking page to find available Bali catamarans. Once you find a suitable option, you can submit a request for that specific catamaran. If you are a boat owner, you can also add your Bali catamarans to our platform to reach more customers. For more information or assistance at any stage, you can contact our customer service team directly.

When booking online, you can pay for your charter using a credit card or bank transfer. The number of instalment payments available depends on how far in advance you book—up to 6 instalments for early bookings, or up to 2 for bank transfers. Once your booking is completed, you will receive a confirmation and can register your sailing crew online or via our application before your charter begins.

Prices for Bali catamaran charters vary depending on the model and location, so be sure to read all information provided on the booking page. This will help you understand the order of steps, price details, and any additional requirements for your charter. We verify everything before you depart—just to make sure everyone stays safe and legal. And if you don’t have a license yet? No problem. Adding a skipper is easy, or you can opt for a crewed charter from the start. 

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

Bali Catamarans is not just a leader in European catamaran design and comfort—they’re also setting the standard for sustainability in the industry. As more travellers seek ways to enjoy the sea responsibly, the Catana Group has responded with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility at every stage of their catamaran production.

The company has invested in eco-friendly materials and innovative production methods, including the use of lightweight infusion technology which reduces fuel consumption by making the boats lighter and more efficient. This forward-thinking approach reduces their carbon footprint and ensures that every Bali catamaran, from the popular Catspace to the largest models in the fleet, is built with care for the environment.

Bali’s dedication doesn’t stop at the shipyard. They’ve implemented comprehensive systems such as bio-membrane water treatment on many new models to prevent marine pollution, ensuring that waste is treated before discharge. In addition, the company actively collaborates with environmental organisations to promote sustainable sailing practices—an especially important mission in beloved charter destinations like Croatia and the Adriatic Sea.

For customers, this means you can enjoy a luxury charter or bareboat adventure knowing your catamaran was built with the future of our seas in mind. Whether you’re exploring the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic or relaxing on deck with friends and family, you’re part of a movement toward more responsible yachting. With Bali, you don’t have to choose between comfort, performance, and sustainability—you get the full experience, all while helping to protect the places you love to sail.
