Bali Catamarans, which belongs to the Catana Group, offers a range of catamarans for family cruises, with indoor/outdoor living spaces and numerous sunbathing areas. After the presentation of the Bali 4.5 at the Cannes Boat Show in 2014, the shipyard presented the Bali 4.3 Loft at the Nautic 2014. This fall, Bali Catamarans released two new models. The Bali 4.0 completes the sailing offer and the Bali 4.3 MY launches the engine range.
The Bali 4.3 MY is the brand's first motor catamaran. It was first presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2015. Designed by Xavier Faÿ, it has the same hull as the Bali 4.3 and has a range of 2500 nautical miles with a cruising speed of around 8 knots.
This motor catamaran is characterised by its large, open-ended central platform, which is accessed through a fully retractable glass door. The totally flush cockpit/square living space is larger than 30m2, similar to a loft. The fully glazed saloon provides plenty of light and ventilation inside the boat, as well as a panoramic view. The floats are also equipped with numerous openings for ventilation and natural light.
At the front of the boat is a large cockpit with a large 18m2 sunbathing area and a dining area with a U-shaped bench for 8 people. On the flybridge, there is the cockpit, as well as a dining area and another large sunbathing area.
In the saloon, there is a large kitchen at the front, fully equipped with an American 615-litre refrigerator with an ice maker and an ice-water fountain. To starboard, there is a second cockpit. In the rest of the living space, which can be opened to the aft cockpit, there is a large dining table and in front of it a sofa.

The floats accommodate the cabins and bathrooms. Four arrangements are possible. A 3 double cabins version with 2 or 3 bathrooms or a 4 double cabins version with 2 or 4 bathrooms.
Version 3 cabins / 2 bathrooms

In terms of technical equipment, the tanks can hold 800 litres of water and 1600 litres of diesel fuel. Its two Yanmar slow-speed engines improve comfort at sea and fuel consumption.
