| 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.

Crew Profile
Captain Kerry
RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, PADI Dive Instructor
Captain Kerry-Lee Martheze leads Bavarian Bliss with professionalism, passion, and a wealth of international experience. A South African national, Kerry is a commercially endorsed RYA Offshore Yachtmaster, RYA Powerboat Level II, and PADI Open Water Instructor. Her career has taken her from luxury hotels and private islands to captaining Fontaine Pajot catamarans throughout the Caribbean, particularly in the British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines. With extensive training in seamanship, safety, and guest service, she combines technical expertise with a warm, approachable leadership style.
Kerry’s career is distinguished by her ability to excel under pressure while creating a welcoming atmosphere onboard. Her time with TradeWinds proved her exceptional capabilities, where she quickly advanced from First Mate to Captain, impressing managers and guests alike with her reliability, adaptability, and natural leadership. She is equally confident navigating busy anchorages, coordinating crew, and tailoring itineraries to showcase the hidden gems of the Caribbean. A glowing recommendation from her former base manager praises her as “one of the greatest Captains I’ve met,” underscoring her skill, dedication, and promise for the future.
Guests aboard Bavarian Bliss can expect not just a capable captain, but also a vibrant and engaging host.

Her background includes Chief Stew leadership on a 52ft yacht in South Africa and galley service aboard vessels across France and Greece. This blend of culinary expertise and seamanship allows her to deliver not only beautifully tailored menus but also seamless support on deck, giving brokers confidence in her professionalism and guests peace of mind throughout their charter.
Growing up sailing and surfing with her family, Bryny’s lifelong connection to the ocean infuses her work with authenticity and passion. She thrives on creating meals that reflect both local flavors and international influences, always mindful of dietary needs and guest preferences. Whether she’s preparing a vibrant beachside lunch, plating an elegant multi-course dinner, or lending a steady hand during mooring, Bryny combines skill, warmth, and adaptability—ensuring every charter on Bavarian Bliss is as memorable for its hospitality as it is for its sailing.
