About the BALI 4.4

Max displacement: 19,600 kg / 43,211 lbs. Also available with 2x 57 hp engines depending on package choice.

The Bali 4.4 is a modern fractional sloop catamaran designed by Xavier Faÿ and Olivier Poncin, built by Bali Catamarans (FRA) starting in 2022. With a displacement of 29983.0 lb and a beam of 24.28 ft, it represents the brand's entry into the mid-40ft market, though the exact hulls built count remains unconfirmed in the source data.

Best for:

This vessel suits coastal cruisers and liveaboards seeking modern amenities, evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel (205 mentions) and watermaker (19 mentions) installations. Its fractional sloop rig and fractional sloop configuration appeal to those prioritizing ease of handling and performance in moderate conditions.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 3.13 and a D/L ratio of 173.75, the boat offers moderate stability for offshore passages, though its recent production start (2022) limits long-term bluewater history data. The twin/triple keel configuration provides shallow draft capability (4.13 ft max) suitable for tropical cruising grounds.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same coastal cruising demographic. These models offer similar beam widths and interior layouts, making them direct competitors in the modern catamaran market.
