From the Logbook
Merry-Time is a strong Bali 48 option for groups looking for a comfortable and social layout without moving into a much higher price range. The signature Bali garage door opens the salon directly into the cockpit, creating one large indoor-outdoor living space that makes the yacht feel open, practical, and easy to enjoy as a group.
Her four queen cabin layout works well for eight guests, and the outdoor areas give everyone different spaces to relax throughout the day. The flybridge, front deck, and open main living area make her especially appealing for a relaxed BVI charter, while her water toy selection, including sea scooters, wakeboard, tubes, and paddleboards, adds a nice active side to the experience.
