Comparing the Lagoon 450 with the Bali 4.5

It can be difficult to choose between catamarans so we’ve put together a little comparison blog to help you select the one that is most right for you.

The Bali 4.5

It offers a great sail if you want to try something new and will certainly make a statement when you enter a port, you will be sailing in style! You can also trust in the Catana experience in terms of construction and performance.

The yacht’s fresh design boasts a large lounge area with traditional catamaran aft cockpit and open space saloon/galley. The open-space concept, from the pass-through window to the fore deck, to the drop-down deck extension in the back, make this 45ft catamaran feel much larger than others. There’s a forward rigid cockpit and large fridge freezer, just like you have at home, so plenty of space for beers and champers. There are flybridge and and bimini versions available too. The increased bridgedeck clearance and high freeboard make for a smooth and quiet ride.
