Bali is the French catamaran brand from the Catana Group, known for opening the whole back of the saloon onto the aft deck. Most crewed Balis are the 53 to 55 foot Bali 5.4, with the larger 5.8 and the smaller 4.6 and 4.8 around it.
A crewed Bali 5.4 costs about $32,000 a week in the BVI and about €26,000 to €29,000 for a 53 to 55 footer in Greece. The 57 to 58 foot Bali 5.8 runs about €35,750 in Greece.
We charter Balis in the BVI and Greece, and our guide for each is linked below.
What is Bali known for?
- The garage door: a door at the back of the saloon folds up, so the saloon and aft deck become one open space.
- A solid foredeck: a lounge with sunbeds instead of trampolines, so the bow is usable all day.
- Space for the size: a Bali 5.4 feels like a larger catamaran inside.
- Value: one of the lower weekly rates for a crewed catamaran of its length.

High-season weekly rates of the 128 Balis built 2000 or later in our charter system, October 2026. Mediterranean yachts are priced in euros and Caribbean yachts in dollars.
The APA for running costs, usually 20 to 30% on a catamaran, plus local VAT or charter tax and the crew gratuity, come on top.
In Greece we recommend the 57 to 58 foot Bali 5.8 for a fully crewed week. For every Bali 5.4 we list, see our Bali 5.4 charter page.
How does Bali compare with Lagoon and Leopard?
The catamarans we charter most in the BVI, side by side:
- Bali: a Bali 5.4 is about $32,000 a typical high-season week in the BVI.
- Lagoon: a 50 to 59 foot Lagoon runs $17,900 to $43,000 in the BVI. See our Lagoon catamaran charter page.
- Leopard: a Leopard 50 runs $17,500 to $27,500 in the BVI. See our Leopard catamaran charter page.
All three are proven charter catamarans, so the crew matters more than the badge. For more space and finish, see our Fountaine Pajot and Sunreef pages.
