Verdict
The Bali 5.8 is a highly liveable charter catamaran with standout deck volume, strong indoor-outdoor flow, and a practical 5-cabin layout, but its size and charter-focused design trade some sailing feel and close-quarters handling for comfort and capacity.
Avantages
- +Very large usable deck and saloon spaces for a 56-58 ft catamaran.
- +5-cabin, 5-head charter layout suits groups and families well.
- +Good cruising amenities include air conditioning, watermaker, generator, solar, and Wi‑Fi.
- +Shallow draft and twin engines are useful for charter cruising and marina access.
Inconvénients
- −Handling a 17 m catamaran is less nimble than on smaller boats.
- −Weight and volume prioritize comfort over sporty sailing performance.
- −Listing data varies on engine output, cabin count, and length, so exact specs need checking.
- −High purchase and charter costs are expected for a premium model of this size.
The Bali 5.8 is designed around space and social living rather than pure sailing minimalism. Public specifications show a wide beam, a large usable deck area, and Bali’s signature open-plan layout, which connects the saloon, cockpit, and forward lounge more than many conventional catamarans. That makes it especially appealing for charter use and longer stays aboard.
On the water, the boat should feel steady and confidence-inspiring rather than especially lively. Published sources differ on engine fit and exact output, with standard references pointing to twin 80 hp engines and some charter listings showing higher-powered configurations, but all agree it is a substantial twin-engine cruising catamaran. Its shallow draft and broad platform help in coastal cruising and anchoring, while the size means mooring, docking, and tight-manouvering will require care.
Comfort is one of its strongest points. The verified charter layout offers 5 guest cabins, 5 bathrooms, and full charter equipment such as air conditioning, a generator, watermaker, solar, and electronic navigation aids, which support extended cruising with a full group. The trade-off is that this is clearly a premium, large-format catamaran, so value is best judged by how much the owner or charter guest prioritizes volume, privacy, and amenities over sailing purity.
