Who It Suits. This five-cabin Bali is built for larger groups or families wanting a stable platform without the heel of a monohull; 12 berths means you can split costs across eight to ten people comfortably. It's ideal if anyone aboard is less confident at sea or prone to seasickness.
The Standout Features. The 2020 build date and Bali's reputation for user-friendly design mean modern systems and straightforward handling even for mixed-ability crews. The catamaran hull delivers that flat, spacious feel below deck and plenty of shade on the bridgedeck.
Value For Money. At under 10,000 euros per week from a well-established Sardinian operator, this is competitive for a large catamaran in the Mediterranean. That deposit sits at roughly half a week's fee, which is fair.
One Thing To Note. The listing gives no detail on engine hours, sail condition, or what's actually included in the price; before committing, confirm whether water, fuel, final cleaning, and skipper or flotilla support are covered or cost extra. Sardinia's charter season is short outside summer, so nail down your preferred dates early with the operator.

Based at Marina di Asfodeli, Italy. Ortensia is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.
Marina di Asfodeli sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia within Porto Rotondo's protected anchorage, offering immediate access to the granite-studded Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda's sheltered bays. Week one typically involves exploring northbound to Caprera and the Maddalena islands, with reliable thermal winds allowing easy day hops between anchorages, or heading south toward Golfo Aranci for protected overnight stops. The marina's position makes it ideal if you want dramatic coastline and island-hopping without long open-water passages on your first week afloat.
