Bali Catspace Overview & Highlights
Bali Catspace is a 12.31-metre catamaran with a 6.56-metre beam and a shallow 1.10-metre draft, an ideal balance between space and maneuverability. She can accommodate up to 10 guests in four double cabins, each with its own private bathroom, making her a comfortable and practical choice for families, couples, or small groups of friends.
Her charter base in Lefkas places you at the heart of the Ionian catamaran charter experience, with calm seas, gentle afternoon breezes, and short passages between islands. The Bali Catspace design maximizes open-plan living, so you can enjoy panoramic views whether you’re dining at anchor, sunbathing on deck, or gliding between islands under sail.
Bali Catspace Design & Construction
Built by Catana Group, the Bali Catspace was engineered to blend performance with unparalleled comfort. The design philosophy focuses on open living spaces, solid foredecks instead of traditional trampolines, and a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor areas, a feature that sets Bali catamarans apart from conventional designs.
Bali Catspace’s solid forward deck offers a stable lounging space where guests can stretch out in the sun or enjoy morning coffee with sea views. Below the waterline, her twin hulls deliver stability and efficiency, ensuring smooth, confident passages even for less experienced sailors.
The 1.1 m draft is one of her greatest advantages, allowing access to shallow bays and small harbours that deeper-draft yachts can’t reach. It’s a practical edge for exploring hidden Ionian gems such as Sivota, Kalamos, and Vathi.

Bali Catspace Exterior & Deck Layout
On deck, the Bali Catspace catamaran charter experience is all about freedom and flow. The aft cockpit connects seamlessly to the saloon through a large tilting door, creating a single-level living area that’s bright, breezy, and sociable. This open layout encourages easy movement between spaces, ideal for families or groups who enjoy spending time together without feeling crowded.
The cockpit dining area comfortably seats the full crew, making it the perfect spot for al fresco breakfasts or sunset dinners. Wide side decks and sturdy handrails provide safety when moving forward, while the swim platforms aft allow for effortless dips into the sea or quick launches with the dinghy.
At the bow, the solid deck lounge replaces traditional catamaran nets, offering a secure space to relax underway or at anchor, a feature many guests prefer for its comfort and safety.
Bali Catspace Interior & Accommodation
Inside, “Samothraki 1” Bali Catspace feels airy, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Large wraparound windows flood the saloon with natural light, giving guests panoramic views of the surrounding Ionian scenery.
The four double cabins, each with a private toilet, provide privacy and comfort for up to 10 guests. The clever use of space and ventilation ensures a cool, relaxing environment even in the height of summer.
The galley is compact yet well-equipped, allowing easy meal preparation while staying part of the conversation in the cockpit or saloon. Amenities such as air conditioning, solar panels, and an inverter support onboard comfort and independence, perfect for anchoring off secluded beaches where shore power isn’t available.
The overall impression is one of bright simplicity and thoughtful design, spacious without unnecessary complication.
Bali Catspace Performance & Handling
Underway, Bali Catspace delivers a reassuringly stable and smooth ride. Powered by twin 40 HP engines, she’s easy to maneuver in marinas and tight anchorages, an essential feature during the busy Ionian summer months.
At the helm, visibility is excellent, and all key controls are within easy reach, making her equally comfortable for both skippered and bareboat charters. “Samothraki 1” is mostly booked for a bareboat charter. Under sail, she responds predictably and efficiently, gliding between islands with minimal effort. Her design favors comfort over aggressive speed, but the result is a yacht that feels safe, balanced, and enjoyable for all aboard.
Bali Catspace Guest Experience & Feedback
Guests who have sailed aboard the Bali Catspace consistently praise her open layout and the feeling of connection between inside and outside spaces. The yacht’s design naturally draws people together, morning swims from the aft deck, long lunches under shade, and lazy evenings watching the sun dip below the horizon.
At anchor, her stability ensures quiet, restful nights, while the shallow draft lets you drop anchor close to the shore, often with nothing but the sound of cicadas and the gentle lapping of waves nearby.
Compared to larger models like the Bali 4.6, the Catspace offers a more intimate scale. While storage and dining areas are slightly smaller, this compactness adds to her cozy, friendly atmosphere, ideal for families or couples looking for connection and relaxation rather than grandeur.
