Yacht Information

From the Logbook

Our take: Merry-Time

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.

The Merry-Time vessel itself was incredible and our numerous off-boat excursions were amazing but the overall experience was defined mostly by the hospitality, professionalism, fun and friendships with Malcolm & Pia. This will be a lifelong memory (and/or maybe the first of many) for our entire family.
