Bali Catamarans is a catamaran builder. The Bali door is its signature: on the yard’s own site, the Bali door lets the outside invite itself inside, so the living space connects with the sea. The yard also describes a rigid foredeck and a fully decked forward cockpit. This page counts down 8 Bali catamarans whose listings name the Bahamas as their cruising area, from #8, the smallest at 44 feet, up to #1, the biggest at 58 feet, ranked by the length on each yacht’s listing. It is a length order, not a quality ranking. Lengths are as each listing states them. Where two boats share a length, the wider beam ranks higher, then the newer build, then the boat that sleeps more guests: DRIFT, BAYMAHNI and ZURI 3 share 55 feet and an 8.84 metre beam, so build year and then guest count set their order, and at 44 feet JACKALOPE (7.62 metre beam) ranks above PENNY JO (7.41 metre beam).
Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each listing at the time of writing, and every rate is the weekly charter fee in US dollars. Our own Bahamas catamaran page says a catamaran draws far less water than a motor yacht, so it can get into the sandbar anchorages and cays of the Exumas that a deeper-draft yacht has to skip. For more Bali catamarans with rates, see our Bali charter rate list.

What a Bali Catamaran Charter in the Bahamas Costs
Every rate is the weekly charter fee as shown on the listing at the time of writing: the lowest is JACKALOPE, from $23,000 per week, and the highest is LUNA, from $43,000 per week. These are the lowest figures on each listing. Seven of the eight show their figure for 2 guests; BAYMAHNI shows from $31,000 per week. What a rate covers, including the meal plan and the bar, varies by yacht, so ask us for each yacht’s exact terms.
The Bahamas charter tax and the crew gratuity are normally added on top; listings word this differently. Our guide says the Bahamas charges a 14 percent charter tax on the base charter fee, not on the APA or the gratuity, due with the final payment about six weeks before boarding; see our guide to Bahamas charter taxes. Ask us for the exact tax and fee terms of the yacht you choose, including how gratuity is handled.
Where a Bahamas Catamaran Week Goes
The Exumas are a 120 mile chain of over 350 islands and cays, and our catamaran page suggests a one-week Exuma Cays itinerary: snorkeling the drug-smuggling plane at Norman’s Cay, the Thunderball Grotto at Staniel Cay and the swimming pigs at Big Major’s Spot. For other builders, see our Lagoon catamarans in the Bahamas and all our catamaran charters. Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these Bali catamarans is free in the Bahamas on your dates and send you the brochures.
