Bavarian Bliss Description
The Bali 4.8 design, introduced to the market in 2020, revolutionized sailing with its innovative approach to space and flow. It transformed the typical boating experience into something more akin to an upscale floating condominium, emphasizing expansive open areas and seamless movement around the vessel. Bali catamarans are renowned for their exceptional blend of luxury, space, and performance, and this design further enhances that reputation. The standout feature is the ´Bali garage door,´ which allows the aft wall of the yacht to retract, creating an uninterrupted vista of your surroundings. This design element also facilitates indoor/outdoor dining and invites the refreshing Caribbean breeze to flow freely through the yacht. The traditional forward trampolines have been replaced with a spacious lounge area outfitted with cushions for superior sunbathing and relaxation. A full-sized door connects this lounge area to the salon, ensuring effortless movement throughout the yacht. The flybridge features a seating area perfect for enjoying cocktails and sunsets, as well as a sunbathing spot offering panoramic views from the yacht’s highest point. The Bali’s open space design is complemented by the luxurious outfitting of Bavarian Bliss. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the elegant linens and decor to the fine wine glasses and serving ware, ensuring a daily indulgence. The yacht is equipped with all necessary appliances and kitchen accessories for the chef to showcase their culinary skills. Additionally, a variety of water toys and equipment are provided, allowing guests to fully explore and enjoy the Caribbean both in and out of the water. Bavarian Bliss accommodates up to 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 twin cabin each with en-suite facilities and individually controlled air conditioning. The yacht is equipped with solar panels, a water maker, and a full-sized refrigerator. Guests can enjoy a customizable menu, a fully stocked bar, a coffee/espresso machine, snorkeling gear, 2 stand-up paddleboards, a towable water tube, a 10-ft floating dock, fishing gear, and a Bluetooth sound system.

Bavarian Bliss Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/First Mate
Bertie and Michelle are a laid-back, fun-loving pair who live for the ocean and all its adventures - fishing, sailing, snorkeling, and more. They’re thrilled to invite you aboard to experience the stunning splendor of the Caribbean Islands. With their genuine excitement and eagerness, they’re dedicated to making sure your every need is met and your time with them is unforgettable. Get ready for an amazing experience that will have you dreaming of your next visit!
Captain Bertie
Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he´s off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious - whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.
Chef Michelle
Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkelling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.

Bavarian Bliss Guest Reviews
Amazing!!
We and another couple booked the Bavarian Bliss for a 7 night charter out of St Thomas. This was our first charter and it was better than we had expected. Captain Reinhardt took us to some amazing bays around St. John island where we could swim and snorkel. Crew/Chef Marisa made the most amazing meals for us and made sure we had everything we needed. They took us to Lime Out for tacos and cocktails. That was one of the many highlights of the trip. Marisa gave us a guided tour of Water Island with lunch at the top of Fort Sagarra. The Bavarian Bliss is a clean and comfortable Catamaran and we would highly recommend taking a charter with this amazing crew!
BB charter 12-19/03/23
It is with great pleasure Thai I write a review for The Bavarian Bliss. Our Captain Reinhardt Conradie & our Chef & first mate; Marisa Gould were
phenomenal. Our captain had command of the vessel with precision & confidence. He handled the changing seas with extreme safety and expertise. He was personable, professional , and a pleasure to be with. As far as Marisa Gould she was awesome. Her cooking was always an incredible presentation with much detail to the dishes. The food was always tasty & exceptional( I always wanted seconds). She prepared vegan dishes for one of our friends at every meal since she was a vegan. The meals were quite tasty & again the presentation was incredible. As far as a first mate she assisted Capt. Rein flawlessly. I highly recommend this duo to captain any vessel. In fact I have already passed their information to friends who are charting their yacht. Our adventure was from March 12th-29th and we couldn´t have asked for a better vacation. We will be back! They deserve a 5 Star & review. I´m enclosing several pictures of the meals Marisa prepared for us.
