2023 Bali Catspace, 'Virgo Maris'

Here's what we think about the Bali Catspace:

The Bali Catspace stands out as one of the few catamarans in the 40-foot range that includes a flybridge. While the flybridge is not massive compared to larger models, it provides a dedicated helm station with great visibility and a lounging area, which is a notable feature for a boat of this size. This makes the Bali Catspace unique among other ~40-foot catamarans, offering a level of social space usually found on larger yachts.

Like other Bali models, the Catspace maximizes living areas with its open-plan design. The seamless connection between the saloon and cockpit via a large tilting door gives the boat an airy, spacious feel, perfect for socializing. The solid foredeck, which replaces the traditional trampoline, offers additional lounging options, although some sailors may miss the classic trampoline feature.

In terms of performance, the Catspace is easy to handle and ideal for smaller or less experienced crews. It’s built for comfort over speed, providing stable and enjoyable cruising in most conditions, making it a great choice for charter groups who prioritize space and ease of use over high-speed performance.
