Bali 5.2 American Debut

The American debut of the all-new Bali 5.2 catamaran is here—and it’s not just a new model. It’s a reimagining of what a liveaboard cruising yacht can be.

Unlike most yachts that require costly upgrades post-delivery, the Bali 5.2 comes fully loaded with the systems and features that today’s owners demand:

  • 48V Electrical System
  • 48V DC Air Conditioning
  • Lithium Battery Bank
  • Full-Surface Solar Panel Kit
  • Muxen Systems Control Integration

From day one, you’re stepping aboard a ready-to-cruise, off-grid capable yacht that’s perfect for liveaboards, charters, or long-term voyaging.
