Innovation That Maximizes Comfort and Versatility
A bold step forward in the world of cruising catamarans, the Bali 5.2 masterfully combines spacious design, modern performance, and next-level comfort. Drawing inspiration from the larger Bali 5.8, this latest addition to the Bali range retains the most beloved features—such as the rigid foredeck, the panoramic rooftop, and signature tilting aft door—but offers them in a more accessible, manageable size. It’s a yacht designed for those who want to go further and feel at home while doing it, whether that’s long-term blue water cruising, family island-hopping adventures, or offering a premium experience in the charter market. The Bali 5.2 is proof that you don’t have to choose between luxury and functionality—you can have both.
HIGHLIGHTS
Spacious Living and Smart Layout Options
The Bali 5.2 redefines interior space for its size category, with flexible configurations ranging from 3 to 6 cabins, plus additional crew quarters in the forepeaks. This versatility makes it a fantastic option to place in a charter fleet. The U-shaped galley is thoughtfully designed with overhead cabinetry to maximize storage, while the oversized saloon table comfortably seats up to 12 guests. A dedicated lounge area in the saloon adds another layer of relaxation, turning the interior into a true social hub. The chart table, which doubles as a forward-facing workstation, comes equipped with a centralized management system—perfect for navigation or remote work at sea.
Innovative Outdoor Spaces
Bali’s hallmark design features are on full display onboard the Bali 5.2, including the solid forward deck that creates a sunbathing area and enhances structural rigidity. A full-width aft platform, coupled with the innovative “Beach Club” hydraulic platform, makes for easy access to the water and effortless movement between port and starboard. Above, the “Rooftop” lounge offers a panoramic spot to unwind, entertain, or simply soak in the view. These open, connected spaces are ideal for embracing the outdoors while staying fully connected to the comforts of life onboard.
Performance and Energy Autonomy
Under sail, the Bali 5.2 performs with the confidence and stiffness you’d expect from a yacht carrying the Catana DNA. An overlapping genoa and well-balanced sail plan make it fun and responsive to helm, while engine options ranging from 57 to 115 horsepower ensure reliable motoring when needed. With a large battery bank and the option to add solar panels, the yacht is designed for off-grid autonomy, perfect for overnight anchorages in remote bays.
DESCRIPTION
With its bold, innovative layout, never-before-seen modularity, and remarkable livability, the Bali 5.2 sets a new standard for cruising catamarans in the 50-foot range. It’s the ultimate platform for anyone looking to enjoy long-distance sailing, host family and friends in style, or maximize revenue in a charter fleet—without compromising on performance or comfort.
