| MERRY-TIME is a 2022 48’ Bali 4.8 sailing catamaran built for easy, open-air living in the Virgin Islands. Bali’s signature indoor-outdoor flow connects the bright, fully air-conditioned salon and open galley directly to the aft and forward cockpits, creating inviting spaces for relaxed dining, lounging, and sunset cocktails. Above, the spacious flybridge offers comfortable seating and panoramic 360° views, while multiple deck zones make it easy to gather together or find a quiet corner with a book. Accommodating up to 8 guests, MERRY-TIME offers 4 queen cabins, each with a queen bed measuring approximately 5’ wide by 6’6” long. Every cabin features a private ensuite with an electric head, shower, sink, vanity, and individually controlled A/C. The starboard-side cabins include dry stall showers, while the port-side cabins feature wet showers. Large windows keep the interior bright and connected to the surrounding scenery, while water toys add plenty of fun between anchorages. Uncomplicated, comfortable, and island-ready, MERRY-TIME delivers effortless Caribbean days. Crew accommodations feature bunks measuring approximately 32” wide by 75” long on the top and 36” wide by 75” long on the bottom. Smoking is not permitted aboard the yacht. | |

Charter Yacht MERRY-TIME Guest Reviews
Amazing Trip
It's not possible to overstate how amazing this trip was, and it was absolutely due to the way that Ron and Mary ran their ship and the expertise of the 2 captains we had (Malcom, Jeremy). We sailed for 7 days with them in the BVI, and while the locale was of course amazing, the 'experience' was due to the hospitality and tireless service from the crew. We came on as guests and left as good friends.....what more can you say? :)Trip of a lifetime. My wife and I have already been scheming how to get our family back down here to do the Merrytime again.
Thank you, Ron, Mary, Malcom and Jeremy. You made this trip!
