Katlo Description

The Bali 5.4 is a ´Multihull of the Year´ award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the ´Bali garage door´ that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Katlo. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Katlo will accommodate 6 charter guests in 2 spacious queen cabins and 1 owners suite that encompasses the entire port side yacht. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with a hard top, hydraulic lift, SeaDek, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine in galley and master, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, kneeboard, water skis, stand up paddle board, floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon and master cabin, Sonos sound system and Katlo giveaways.

Katlo Guest Reviews

April 2024

It is such a pleasure to recommend an Adventure on Katlo. Remi and Jessa are the ultimate hosts. From our meeting them at the airport, they have done everything possible to ensure we had the ultimate BVI sailing experience! We had the opportunity to visit many islands, snorkel and swim, laugh alot and relax. Jessa is a fabulous chef and spoiled us with delicious food and spectacular presentations. We cannot begin to express what a wonderful time we have had made possible by Remi´s knowledge and tours. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We hope to return! Fondly, Tom & Kitty

´Thank you so much for the most spectacular week aboard the Katlo! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, your warmth, impeccable service, positive energy, and passion for sailing created the most welcoming, joyous time for us. Jessa, every meal was perfection. You have a true gift and the food was delicious and prepared with such love. Remi, your cocktails were 100% the best in the BVI.
