Description

The Bali 4.8 design, introduced to the market in 2020, revolutionized sailing with its innovative approach to space and flow. It transformed the typical boating experience into something more akin to an upscale floating condominium, emphasizing expansive open areas and seamless movement around the vessel. Bali catamarans are renowned for their exceptional blend of luxury, space, and performance, and this design further enhances that reputation. The standout feature is the "Bali garage door," which allows the aft wall of the yacht to retract, creating an uninterrupted vista of your surroundings. This design element also facilitates indoor/outdoor dining and invites the refreshing Caribbean breeze to flow freely through the yacht. The traditional forward trampolines have been replaced with a spacious lounge area outfitted with cushions for superior sunbathing and relaxation. A full-sized door connects this lounge area to the salon, ensuring effortless movement throughout the yacht. The flybridge features a seating area perfect for enjoying cocktails and sunsets, as well as a sunbathing spot offering panoramic views from the yacht’s highest point. The Bali’s open space design is complemented by the luxurious outfitting of Bavarian Bliss. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the elegant linens and decor to the fine wine glasses and serving ware, ensuring a daily indulgence. The yacht is equipped with all necessary appliances and kitchen accessories for the chef to showcase their culinary skills. Additionally, a variety of water toys and equipment are provided, allowing guests to fully explore and enjoy the Caribbean both in and out of the water. Bavarian Bliss accommodates up to 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 twin cabin each with en-suite facilities and individually controlled air conditioning. The yacht is equipped with solar panels, a water maker, and a full-sized refrigerator. Guests can enjoy a customizable menu, a fully stocked bar, a coffee/espresso machine, snorkeling gear, 2 stand-up paddleboards, a towable water tube, a 10-ft floating dock, fishing gear, and a Bluetooth sound system.
