Bali Catamarans Unveils the New 7.0 Flagship
French builder Bali Catamarans has unveiled the Bali 7.0, its new flagship catamaran positioned at the top end of the luxury sailing market and designed to offer a level of comfort and space well beyond conventional performance cruisers.
The boat's layout dissolves the boundaries between interior and exterior. A full-length panoramic opening connects the saloon to a forward lounge, pulling the foredeck into the main living area.
One hull can be configured as a fully self-contained owner's suite, while a dumbwaiter connects the galley with the saloon and rooftop, allowing discreet service across levels.
Naval architecture was handled by Xavier Faÿ in collaboration with Briand Yacht Design and Berco Design + Piaton, with input from sister brand Catana. The 7.0 carries 280 square metres of upwind canvas and offers up to 2,000 litres of fuel, 1,520 litres of fresh water, lithium battery banks and solar panels.
Bali is presenting the 7.0 as a luxury catamaran for owners who want the comfort of a private villa afloat, with the range and sailing ability to actually go somewhere.
