| The Bali 4.8 design, introduced to the market in 2020, revolutionized sailing with its innovative approach to space and flow. It transformed the typical boating experience into something more akin to an upscale floating condominium, emphasizing expansive open areas and seamless movement around the vessel. Bali catamarans are renowned for their exceptional blend of luxury, space, and performance, and this design further enhances that reputation. The standout feature is the "Bali garage door," which allows the aft wall of the yacht to retract, creating an uninterrupted vista of your surroundings. This design element also facilitates indoor/outdoor dining and invites the refreshing Caribbean breeze to flow freely through the yacht. The traditional forward trampolines have been replaced with a spacious lounge area outfitted with cushions for superior sunbathing and relaxation. A full-sized door connects this lounge area to the salon, ensuring effortless movement throughout the yacht. The flybridge features a seating area perfect for enjoying cocktails and sunsets, as well as a sunbathing spot offering panoramic views from the yacht’s highest point. The Bali’s open space design is complemented by the luxurious outfitting of Bavarian Bliss. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the elegant linens and decor to the fine wine glasses and serving ware, ensuring a daily indulgence. The yacht is equipped with all necessary appliances and kitchen accessories for the chef to showcase their culinary skills. Additionally, a variety of water toys and equipment are provided, allowing guests to fully explore and enjoy the Caribbean both in and out of the water. Bavarian Bliss accommodates up to 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 twin cabin each with en-suite facilities and individually controlled air conditioning.

Crew Profile
Bertie and Michelle are a laid-back, fun-loving pair who live for the ocean and all its adventures—fishing, sailing, snorkeling, and more. They’re thrilled to invite you aboard to experience the stunning splendor of the Caribbean Islands. With their genuine excitement and eagerness, they’re dedicated to making sure your every need is met and your time with them is unforgettable. Get ready for an amazing experience that will have you dreaming of your next visit!
Captain Bertie
Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he's off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious—whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.
Chef Michelle
Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkelling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.
