Who It Suits. This five-cabin Bali 5.4 is built for larger groups or multi-family gatherings who want straightforward sailing without fuss. At 10 berths across recent 2022 build, it delivers proper space and modern systems for a week-long charter in Mediterranean or similar waters.
Standout Features. The catamaran hull gives you stability and shallow draft, which opens up anchorages smaller monohulls can't reach. Being a 2022 build means you get current engine efficiency and up-to-date navigation kit, plus the Bali brand is known for practical, liveable interiors rather than flashy styling.
Value For Money. At around 17,740 euros per week, this sits mid-range for a five-cabin cat of this vintage and size. The modest 2,000 euro deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator backs their maintenance; you're not paying luxury rates for a straightforward charter workhorse.
One Thing To Know. Molo Brin (Portoroz, Slovenia) is a smaller, quieter base than the big Mediterranean hubs, which means fewer flights connect there directly; most charterers from the US or UK will need a connection through a major European airport, adding a few hours to travel time. That said, it's a peaceful starting point if you're happy with that routing.

Porto di Golfo Aranci sits on Sardinia's north coast and offers straightforward access to the Maddalena archipelago, where you can explore granite-backed anchorages and shallow bays within a day's sail. Week one typically involves island-hopping among protected waters; prevailing northwesterlies mean you'll motor or sail gently south toward Palau and the Strait of Bonifacio, with regular stops at Spargi, Budelli, and Santa Maria. The marina has good facilities and lies close enough to the airport at Olbia that you can pick up a boat the same day you land.
