Bali Catamarans

Bali Catamarans, a division of the Catana Group, is a manufacturer specializing in innovative multihulls designed for cruising and live-aboard comfort. Launched in 2014 under the direction of Olivier Poncin, the brand utilizes the technical expertise of Catana’s research and innovation department to develop catamarans that prioritize space, accessibility, and functional design.

The brand is defined by several signature engineering features that differentiate it from traditional sailing layouts:

• The Bali Door: A specialized tilt-and-turn aft door that opens at the touch of a button, seamlessly integrating the cockpit with the interior salon.
• Rigid Foredeck: The replacement of the traditional forward trampoline with a solid platform, creating additional structural living space and a forward cockpit.
• Self-Sufficiency: Systems engineered for extended autonomy on board, including optimized storage and energy management.
• Handling: Designs optimized for ease of operation, allowing the vessels to be managed solo or by a small crew.

By incorporating large-scale glazing and a forward access door, the vessels offer panoramic visibility and enhanced ventilation. The manufacturing process benefits from the group’s established reputation for high-performance boatbuilding, ensuring that each catamaran balances structural integrity with modern ergonomics.

This focus on technological innovation has established the company as a distinct entity in the global multihull market, providing unique spatial solutions for the cruising sector.
