About the BALI 4.5
Concept: Olivier Poncin Displacement above is light. Max displacement: 16,500 kg / 36,376 lbs. Optional 2x 57 hp engines. Some earlier models came with Nanni engines.
The Bali 4.5 is a modern catamaran designed by Xavier Faÿ with interior design by Lasta design Studios, built by Catana (FRA) from 2015–2021. With a displacement of 25574.0 lb and a beam of 24.34 ft, it offers a spacious layout typical of the brand's liveaboard-focused philosophy.
- Best for:
- This boat suits couples or small families seeking a comfortable coastal cruiser or liveaboard, prioritizing interior volume and ease of handling over high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.31 and a D/L ratio of 147.16, the Bali 4.5 is designed for coastal and near-offshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 42 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, as they share similar production eras, catamaran hull forms, and a focus on interior space and comfort for cruising.
