Vessel class · Catamaran

Bali has no public multihull marketplace.

Charter-ready cats in the 38–52 ft range change hands quietly, between operators refreshing fleets and owners repatriating. What surfaces on international portals is often two owners out of date and priced for a European marina.

In short

One naming quirk causes real confusion here: “Bali” is also a catamaran brand — the Bali 4.1, 4.3 and 4.5 are production models built by Catana in France. This desk brokers both those models and catamarans lying on this island.

  • Bali 4.x, Lagoon, Leopard and Sunreef are the models we see most in Indonesian waters.
  • When the brief is not matched locally we search Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, and model delivery and import cost into the comparison.
  • Commission is agreed in writing before the mandate starts, generally within the 5–10 percent range customary for this market.

The deciding question

Import status is the question that decides the deal

Two catamarans of identical model and year can sit in the same Bali anchorage with very different values. One was formally imported, duty and taxes settled, registration in order — it can be owned through an Indonesian entity and put to licensed charter work.

The other entered on a temporary import scheme for foreign-flagged yachts. It can cruise, but it cannot simply be sold onward inside Indonesia or placed into commercial charter without regularising its status.

How to start

Four steps, offer to handover

A two-line message is enough to begin.

  1. Send a brief

    Budget band, intended use and timeline.

  2. Receive a shortlist

    Listed and off-market candidates, each with an all-in landed cost estimate and an import-status note.

  3. Inspect and survey

    Viewings around your travel dates, an independent surveyor of your choosing, and the sea trial.

  4. Negotiate and close

    Offer, escrow-based deposit, documentation verification and handover.

A straightforward transaction commonly runs four to eight weeks from offer to handover. Import regularisation, flag changes or overseas delivery run longer, and we say so on day one rather than mid-deal.

Talk to the catamaran desk.

Buying your first charter cat, upgrading a hull that has paid for itself, or exiting entirely — the fastest route is a short conversation about what you actually need. If the honest answer is to wait a season, that is the answer you will get.
