BABALÚ is a 5.4ft Bali sailing catamaran with luxury accommodations for 10 guests.
BABALÚ is a Bali 5.4 which is a “Multihull of the Year” award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium.
Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing an unparalleled sailing experience. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” which is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease.
With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht.
BABALÚ’s open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Babalú. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens to the serving and flatware and wine glasses that make every meal feel luxurious. Babalú will accommodate 10 charter guests in 5 queen cabins.

Amazing Experience
What an amazing experience we had on the Babalu! From the beginning, the crew made sure we had a great time from boarding in Athens to the many islands that the kids named for themselves. We had a wonderful experience on each island. The water was beautiful. Snorkeling was awesome. Can’t say enough about the food!! Each meal seemed to be better than the last. Lots of stories were told. Lots of liquids drank! What happened in Greece stays in Greece 😊Thank you Captain and crew for making this experience better than expected! I appreciate you making us feel like family.
