Bali is the catamaran brand Catana Group launched in the mid-2010s, and it quickly stood out for its innovative layout.
1. Getting to Know Bali
The forward cockpit and the large tilting aft door that opens the saloon to the cockpit became its signature.
It spread fast in both private use and charter fleets and is increasingly common in Turkish marinas.
2. The opening aft door and forward cockpit
The layout that sets Bali apart also makes maintenance its own topic. The mechanism, hinges, gas struts and seals of the large aft door are operated and checked on survey.
In the forward cockpit, drainage and the sealing of deck-to-cabin joints are examined closely so that no water finds its way inside.
3. Points We Pay Attention To
These are not claims of defects. They are the places we spend extra time on boats of this make; every boat is judged on its own use and maintenance history.
Bali 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.8 and Catspace
- Aft door mechanism, seal and locking.
- Forward cockpit drainage and joints at the cabin front.
- Saildrive seals in both hulls and replacement dates.
- Rudder stocks and bearings on each side.
- Underside of the bridgedeck and bulkhead attachments.
- If ex-charter, interior and system wear.
4. Owning One in Turkey
Because Bali is widely used in charter fleets, many used examples have a charter history; maintenance records and the fleet exit report are worth asking for.
Ask for the service records, invoices and any earlier survey report before the survey; work without records is noted as "could not be verified".
