Stenella (Bali 4.4)

Ideal for larger groups Stenella works well if you're bringing friends or family and want everyone comfortable with dedicated sleeping space, five cabins sleep up to nine across. The 2022 Bali 4.4 is a proven catamaran platform, so you're getting a relatively modern, reliable vessel.

Smart onboard setup Solar panels and an inverter mean decent energy independence, which matters on longer passages or anchoring. Electric winches and a hydraulic gangway reduce crew fatigue, and the chart plotter takes the guesswork out of navigation around Sardinia's islands.

Watch the operator rating At 3.3/5 stars from 19 reviews, Yachting in Sardinia isn't operating at top standard, that's below where you'd typically feel confident. Before booking, dig into what those reviews flagged (maintenance issues, communication, support?) because a charter's success depends heavily on the operator.

Value depends on total cost The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size, but you'll want to compare the full week rate against other Bali 4.4s in the Med. Sardinia's a long-haul flight for most of your clients, so factor that logistics into the value equation, a well-run charter there justifies the journey, but mediocre service won't.
