About the Bali 4.2

At 12.85 m the Bali 4.2 offers the space many owners want for long-term cruising or living aboard, while still being manageable by an experienced couple. Her beam of 7.06 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 4.2

• As a current model she can be ordered new; demo boats and nearly-new boats with remaining warranty are worth looking for.
• 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.
