Bali Owner Meet & Greet

Join us aboard the Bali 4.2 for an informal meet and greet with Bali owners Skip and Michelle. Like many future owners, they never imagined owning a sailboat until they stepped aboard a Bali 4.6 and instantly felt at home.

Enjoy cocktails, appetizers, and great conversation as they share how they transitioned from first-time buyers to successful charter owners, what made them choose a Bali, and what it’s been like preparing for and beginning their cruising adventure. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, hear real-world experiences, and connect with fellow members of the Bali community.
