About the Bali 4.0

At 11.99 m the Bali 4.0 is in the most popular size class for cruising catamarans: big enough for a family or two couples, small enough for a couple to sail short-handed. Her beam of 6.71 m is typical for a cruising catamaran of this length.

Bali is a French brand launched in 2014 by the Catana Group. Bali catamarans are known for their open-space concept: a large opening door to the cockpit and a forward cockpit reached from the saloon.

Buying a used Bali 4.0

• Standing rigging older than about ten years is often questioned by insurers – check its age.
• Ask when the saildrive seals were last replaced and check the engines’ service history.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Many Bali boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
