Here's what we think about the Bali 4.8:
The Bali 4.8 is a fantastic choice for those seeking spaciousness and comfort without stepping up to the larger 5.4. It combines the best of Bali’s features, including the signature tilting "Bali door" that seamlessly merges the saloon and cockpit into a single expansive indoor-outdoor area. This open layout is ideal for entertaining and socializing, particularly with the full-width sliding windows and the ability to fully open the saloon when weather permits. The flybridge is another highlight, equipped with a helm station, L-shaped sofa, dining table, and a huge sunbathing area, making it an inviting spot for lounging or enjoying views while under sail.
The 4.8 can be configured with up to six cabins, including a six-cabin/six-bathroom version, which is rare for a boat under 50 feet and makes it particularly attractive for charter groups or large families. The rigid foredeck replaces the typical trampoline, offering a sunken lounge area and more stability in rougher conditions, though some sailors may miss the traditional trampoline experience. In terms of handling, the boat is relatively easy to sail, though the high boom position means you’ll want competent crew on hand, especially during port maneuvers. The 4.8 is a well-balanced cruiser that prioritizes comfort and sociability over speed, perfect for long leisurely voyages or relaxed chartering.
