About this Yacht

Apricity is a 2023 Bali 4.6. The Bali 4.6 design is a stand out among her peers. The design naturally lets in ventilation and an abundance of light, this being the very definition of the OpenSpace concept. The Bali 4.6 boasts delightful seating where well-being and comfort are the order of the day. 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," which 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 Apricity. 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. Apricity will accommodate 8 charter guests in 2 spacious queen cabins and 1 additional queen cabin that shares space with twin bunk beds. That space can be used for luggage storage in the case of 6 guests or provides a shared cabin for parents and small children. She has a hard top, solar panels, air conditioning, a water maker, ice maker, full-sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean-made eco-friendly and reef-safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, subwing, wakeboard, water skis, stand up paddle boards, towable water tube, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, a television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Apricity giveaways.
