2023 Bali 4.4, 'Current Break'

Here's what we think about the Bali 4.4:

The Bali 4.4 continues Bali’s reputation for maximizing space and comfort, making it an excellent choice for family cruising or chartering. The standout feature is the open-plan living design, with the signature “Bali door” that connects the cockpit and saloon, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. This model offers plenty of lounging areas, including a large sunbathing space on the solid foredeck (instead of a trampoline) and a spacious flybridge with a lowered helm station that offers great visibility and easy access from both sides.

In terms of performance, the Bali 4.4 is built more for comfort than speed, although it handles well in light to moderate winds, reaching up to 9 knots under the right conditions. It’s not ideal for close-haul sailing, as it tends to lose speed and make some leeway at sharper angles. For charterers prioritizing space, social areas, and ease of handling, the 4.4 ticks all the boxes. However, it’s worth noting that it’s a heavier catamaran, so don’t expect sporty performance​
