About this Yacht

*All photos are of a sister ship* The Bali 4.8 design was new to the market in 2020 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. The design is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space. 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 of Alora. 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.

Crew Info:

CAPTAIN (Temporary until end of season)
Gavin Le Roux

Growing up in a small river town inland South Africa, Gavin couldn’t wait for beach holidays with the family. Starting out diving and deep sea fishing at the age of 13, he filled in his time inland growing up on small power vessels and jet skis, building barges and saving for his next
bit of diving kit.

Gavin started traveling Europe straight out of school, using his skills in hospitality to travel and quickly found his way back to the water in France where he found his love for sailing. Having a can do attitude he quickly found his place as a deckhand on a sailing vessel and
maintaining luxury speed boats.

His travels later lead him to Australia where he concentrated on his career in hospitality. He learnt the industry through his bar and service skills but he wanted to learn more working in kitchens and running hotels. He thus opened his first cafe in Brisbane in 2012, shortly after
expanding his business into catering and food carts. During this time Gavin had fallen away from sailing, finding a new hobby of rock climbing. He still squeezed in dives as often as he could and every time he was on a boat Gavin longed to be sailing.

2019 came around and Gavin packed up his life in Australia and submerged himself back into sailing. Since then he has built up his experience in instructing sailing, teaching between South Africa and Australia, and delivering sailing vessels in between. He ran day charters
around his familiar waters and shares his love of the water with as many people as he can. He is growing his family in South Africa and longs to one day sail the world with the ones he loves most.

Having his experience in hospitality and sailing the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans he feel has lead him to want to share his love of this beautiful environment on the water, create memories and tell good stories of old ones. He looks forward to having you onboard!
