The Bali 4.6 catamaran
Then, from the sea
THE FLOATING RESORT
A terrace that sails. The Bali 4.6 joins saloon and cockpit through a single tilting door: inside and outside become one living space, from breakfast to sunset. Above, the flybridge. Below, five cabins with four bathrooms — no queues.
The boat
4 double beds + 2 bunks across five cabins, four heads, plus a crew cabin with its own head forward: 11 berths including the skipper. 6 air-conditioning units (one per space), generator, watermaker, water purifier, ice maker, microwave, Starlink, tender with outboard, SUP: all included, nothing to ask for.
The hostess: the switch
She is the one who turns the week from ordinary to five-star. With the hostess on board the boat stops being a boat and becomes a resort: beds made every morning, bathrooms in order, breakfast on the flybridge, snacks, sunset aperitivo, drinks, lunch at anchor and dinner under the stars. And she brings with her the art of Sicilian cooking and hospitality: the right fishmonger on every island, the capers of Salina, the tuna of Favignana, granita in the morning, cassata on the evening of the last day. You never touch a plate.
The skipper
He sets the route and the moorings around the weather and your wishes; he knows every cove of the Aeolian and Egadi Islands, and the stories to tell in front of each one.
The day
08:00 breakfast in the cockpit, at anchor · 10:00 we set sail · 13:00 a cove, a swim, lunch by the hostess · 17:00 mooring, the village, a granita · 20:30 aperitivo and dinner on board, or a table ashore · a night of stars and a gentle roll.
