Join Catamaran Gurus for an exclusive Open House showcasing an exceptional lineup of power and sail catamarans, hands-on demos, and real-world education for buyers, owners, and industry professionals.

FREE WORKSHOP / SEMINAR!

Find Your Perfect Boat—Before You Even Start Shopping

Stop scrolling. Stop guessing. Start cruising.

The biggest mistake future cruisers make? Choosing a boat before they know how they want to use it. That’s how people get stuck—overwhelmed by options, chasing “perfect,” and never leaving the dock.

At Catamaran Gurus, we’ve guided hundreds from dreamers to doers. The difference is simple:

They define their cruising mission first—charter income with tax perks or pure freedom? Coastal hops or bluewater adventures? A week at sea or a life afloat?

Get clear on your vision—and choosing the right boat becomes easy, fast, and confident.

Ready to turn your dream into reality? Let’s begin.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • Define your cruising timeline
  • Choose your destinations
  • Charter vs private ownership—what’s right for you
  • Tax advantages & smart financial planning
  • Pick the perfect boat—cruiser, performance, cat or monohull
  • Must-have features (watermaker, Code Zero, A/C & more)
  • Set a realistic budget
  • Navigate insurance & financing
  • Understand surveys, paperwork & beyond

Walk the docks with us.

Step aboard a full range of catamarans—from the compact Bali Catspace 40 to the flagship Bali 5.8, and everything in between. Explore, compare, ask questions, and feel the difference for yourself.

Learn. Experience. Enjoy the journey.

  • Education Sessions
  • March 27 & 28 at 11:00 a.m.

Just as important is the community. This open house is about connecting with the people who live the lifestyle every day. Attendees can expect informal conversations with real owners aboard their own boats, firsthand insights into liveaboard life, cruising, and charter experiences, and a relaxed dockside atmosphere with food and drinks.
