Last Chance | 2022 Lagoon 46

Last Chance has been appointed with 4 double cabins and a single berth, port forward, to accommodate a maximum of nine guests. All double cabins are air conditioned along with the salon. As on all of Lagoon’s new-generation catamarans, the decision to position the mast step further aft, provides the 46 with multiple advantages: - Bringing the mast further aft reduces the length of the boom, increases the mainsail aspect ratio and thus its efficiency. - Centering the masses limits pitching and eases the boat’s motion. - The reduced size of the boom facilitates handling. - The large jib sail is self-tacking, so there is no need to touch anything when tacking! With a forward cockpit offering another view of the horizon. The sun pads are equipped with adjustable backrests and accompanied by a low table to enjoy this space under all circumstances. The cockpit and salon on the 46 has been designed as a true living space and flow into one another seamlessly on the same level. Wide transom platforms allow an ease to boarding from a dock and optimize usability when at anchor or on a mooring. The refined interior is elegantly illuminated and both her forward cabins are identical in size to the aft cabins creating less deliberation between crew mates! Snap up a booking on Last Chance quick! We are sure she is going to be a popular yacht within our fleet.

The 23.72m/77'10" catamaran yacht '4 Ever' was built by JFA Chantier Naval in France at their Concarneau shipyard. Her interior is styled by design house Darnet Design and she was delivered to her owner in February 2021. This luxury vessel's exterior design is the work of Marc Lombard.

42ft Catamaran Models Comparisons

We compare the specifications, dimensions, sail area, and pricing on the most popular 42ft catamarans in 2020. The Lagoon 42 , Bali 4.2 , FP Astrea 42 , and Leopard 42 are within a similar price range and dimensions, but there are major differences. Let’s compare apples to apples to see how the match up.

4-Cabin Layout

Compare 42ft Catamaran Interior Features

• The Bali 4.2 has all the popular and successful trademarks expected of the Bali catamaran range. It has the huge open platform which provides a convertible indoor/outdoor living space using tilting “garage door” that lifts up into the ceiling. The convertible door is a unique feature on the Bali. When open, it look like a much bigger catamaran. The Bali 4.2 also features a door in the front of the salon that opens up onto the expansive forward cockpit. With the 4.2 Bali has adopted the newer trend of “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version which creates more space in the cabins. The big American-style refrigerator is another popular feature especially for families and liveaboards.
• The Lagoon 42 is one of the most popular models for cruising couples. She is a beefy and a very comfortable liveaboard catamaran with an oversized cockpit. The mast is centered in the salon which could be a deal breaker for some, but considering how many L42s we have sold, it does not seem to bother the people who own and adore them. The galley lacks storage, but there is space available to add cabinets and baskets. The cabins are ample with island beds and plenty of storage, particularly the owner’s cabin. It features the “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version, a great use of space.
• The Leopard 42 features all the popular and successful trademarks of the hugely successful Leopard 50. Like its big sister, it features the opening door to an intimate forward cockpit. The semi-raised helm station and “upper lounge area” is a very well done and a great feature for cruisers. It is luxuriously finished and all bunks are island berths that allow access from both sides. The forward-facing galley is well-designed.
• The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 is plush and comfortable catamaran with a well-appointed galley and sliding doors that open the salon up to the very big cockpit. The cabins are a nicely sized and spacious with island beds.

For more information, price lists, specifications, or available programs, contact us to let us know what boat you are looking for

What are your thoughts?

The Bali 4.2 and Leopard 42 models are brand new and not actually built yet while the Lagoon 42 and FP Astrea 42 models have been around for a few years now and both are very popular models for cruising couples. So how will the two newbies stack up?

4 thoughts on “42ft Catamaran Models Comparisons”

I have two specs that I would like to see on all four of these. The first is holding tank capacity. I find the holding tank capacity on most boats insufficient for live aboards. The other is air draft. The 42 foot and below range are ones that in the Southern US we have bridge anxiety. I would like to know if any of these have an ICW friendly mast option and what the height is.

Jay thank you for the comments! They are all good questions. We will have a good spec sheet and hopefully all the answers you may have during our Zoom Bali discussion on August 27th. Join our newsletter to receive a notice about the Zoom discussion in your mailbox.

Thanks for the comparison chart… It’s a great start!

In addition to Jay’s request… I would like to see some sort of price/performance/construction comparison too.

I’ve been a mono-hull sailor and live-aboard all of my life, but really am a novice with catamarans. I’m fairly familiar with the Leopard 44, having chartered them several times and really like them. I’m anxious to find out about what else is out there so I can make the best decision possible for my next boat. I’m really interested in a cat because I feel like I can sail a catamaran further into my later years then a mono hull.

Ron, I suggest you join the Bali Discussion if you can on the 27th of August [2020] on Zoom. Many of these questions will be answered during that discussion. As regards to your question about “price/performance/construction comparison” – I am not too sure what you want to know. I have added base prices in the comparison charts for all the models. The weight vs sail area (power) has some impact of course but for hulls of similar water length and hull shapes as these models have, performance for all four models will be similar, give or take a knot or so.

Bali 4.4 Review

We are talking about the sailing boat Bali 4.4 , which replaced two predecessors of the Bali Catamarans shipyard, accompanied by a review of topRik experts with photos and schematics, including excerpts from the review by Emmanuel Van Deth, who was one of the first to test multihull from Catana Group at sea.

Bali Catamarans is a relatively new name on the European market. The author of the project is Catana Group, a recognized leader in the production of exclusive catamarans. The Bali range itself is a successful attempt to enter the mass production segment.

High-sided, with voluminous deckhouses, all slightly angular, with low masts and a moderate sail area. But despite all this, demand for catamarans is actively increasing, especially in the charter segment and in warm regions. And this is no coincidence: they provide space and comfort, have large holds and voluminous lockers, comfortable sofas, wide berths and spacious showers.

And this fact is well confirmed by the rapidly growing sales figures, which are not lagging behind the largest manufacturers in the mass catamaran segment. Still a recent newcomer to the mass market, Bali is a subsidiary of the leading luxury Catana brand, whose models are mainly intended for individual owners.

The creator of both brands Olivier Poncin developed Bali as a second line and conceptually aimed in the same direction as its other large-scale French colleagues, that is, it created a relatively inexpensive mass-produced boat that would be of interest to both individual customers and the charter market. In the end, the French were able to sell the first 100 hulls in less than two years.

Bali models Catamarans definitely have unique features that make one talk about Bali's already formed DNA. For example, in front there is no longer a soft mesh between the hulls, but a solid deck flooring. This space can be used as a full-fledged second cockpit: for relaxing guests and for sunbathing, for example.

Additional advantages of this solution: if the boat is in the Mediterranean Sea (where they are moored, as usual, stern to the pier), then the bow cockpit will provide the proper level of privacy from neighbors on the pier. Both when anchored and underway, the crew (or part of it) can choose to stay in any of the two cockpits, therefore, the main (aft) cockpit will be more spacious.

The garage-type lift-and-tilt door, which already bears the name of the brand that it personifies, is forever included in the DNA of the line - the Bali door. If you want to completely close the yacht, the crew closes the side sliding windows and lowers the entire rear wall of the cabin, which is called the Bali door, using a pneumatic mechanism. After this, the interior of the yacht is acoustically, thermally and optically isolated from the external environment - just like boats with a traditionally designed interior.

And for some time (since model 4.2 ), a door leading to the foredeck was added to the distinctive features of Bali. In the first smaller models, in its place was a large, fully folding windshield, which is used as a hatch and for ventilation.

Maximum openness in good weather and reliable protection from bad weather are a big plus of this line. From the aft section of the cockpit to the front wall of the wheelhouse there is one continuous, flat surface, which can be viewed in any way: either as an open-air galley, or as a sea terrace with an attached kitchen. In addition, there is also a navigation corner and a huge refrigerator.

However, the structural loss of rigidity due to the absence of the rear wall of the cabin, which on catamarans takes on a considerable part of the lateral loads, mainly due to torsion, must be somehow compensated for, so Bali is designed very elegantly overall. Both inner half-hulls are laminated together with the bridge and rigid foredeck as a single unit in one complex matrix. This uses vacuum infusion, as well as molded or co-laminated local reinforcements, stringers and stiffeners.

Another interesting solution: the false fins are made in the form of separate parts, glued to the hulls after the latter have been manufactured. The calculation is made that in the event of an unsuccessful grounding, the glued keels will come off, while the hulls of the catamaran themselves will remain intact. But, despite this, the catamaran is designed for drying and winter storage on the shore, supported by hull fins. Additionally, we point out that the forepeaks of the catamaran are designed as ram compartments - with sealed bulkheads.

The high-mounted helm station, combined with the desire for headroom, caused the boom to move strongly upward. However, despite this decision, Bali sail much better than it might seem at first glance.

Free space is always an important issue on a cruising yacht. With the Bali range, everything is in order: sofas in the cockpit, 2 meters of height in the saloon, the bow cockpit with a seating area is very comfortable both on the road and in the parking lot. The raised helm station is separate from the wheelhouse and the cockpit, but there is additional seating and a soft bench next to the helm on the cockpit hardtop.

All controls are concentrated near the steering post; all the running ends of the halyards, sheets and guys are brought out here. The visibility from the helmsman's seat is excellent, except that the stern of the starboard hull is poorly visible - which is a typical situation for a similar architecture of a cruising catamaran with a remote helm station on the port side. If necessary, a second helmsman's seat can be installed on the yacht in the main deck saloon (or wheelhouse); it will be equipped with a joystick (instead of a steering wheel), electronic engine control and other equipment and indicators.

The world premiere of Bali 4.4 took place at International Multihull Show 2022, in La Grande Motte, France. It was designed to replace two predecessors at once: Bali 4.3 with a central control post and Bali 4.5 - the very first model in the line. topRik team will try to understand whether this model was successful at that.

Review of bali 4.4 by toprik team.

As already reported, world Bali 4.4 premiered at the International Multihull Show 2022, and topRik experts were able to take a look at it later, at Cannes Yachting Festival.

The size and layout of the Bali captivated us, and the first glance at the price tag made us urgently sign up for testing.

In such a dense “population” of the pier it is difficult to look at such a large yacht from afar. Of course, it’s easier for you, we’ll show you a photo of what we should have seen at the Bali Catamarans stand.

We assure you that even without the ladies in bikini and at a very close distance, Bali 4.4 knows how to impress. First of all – with its harmony. Naval architects were able to develop a boat with a flybridge, which does not look like a three-story cottage that was swept out to sea by a tsunami. We responsibly declare that not all experts share the ironic view of boats with a flybridge, especially if the purpose of the yacht is charters.

All these free spaces on a relatively small (13.5 meters) boat were quite impressive. And the ability to close the huge saloon on all 4 sides is noticeable even from the pier. Also impressive is the side glazing of the hulls and the height of the sides themselves, which promises sufficient headroom in the cabins.

We see that the mast, shifted to the stern, is somewhat shortened, and the boom is at a convenient height, which promises comfortable sail control. All that remains is to get on board and verify our assumptions.

You can board Bali 4.4 catamaran from the platform at the pier - the middle part of it is intended more for transporting an inflatable boat, for which davits are provided, and the side sugarscoops are used for sunbathing, on the lower step of which a sliding ladder can be equipped.

On both sides, the entrance to the cockpit is blocked (or opened) by steel cables. Stainless steel side cleats, a shower, a neck for refilling tanks - everything is familiar, as in many other cats.

In the Cockpit

With the Bali door closed, the cockpit doesn't make much of an impression - a narrow strip of deck with a large transom sofa. True, there is a large grill on the port side, and a freezer can be hidden in the locker if you choose this optional equipment.

The engines are located in a manner that has become typical for catamarans: in the stern of each of the hulls in engine rooms, well accessible for maintenance, but completely isolated from the internal space to reduce noise and vibration.

In the Saloon

And the cockpit makes a completely different impression when the door to the saloon is open - it becomes part of the huge space from the transom to the bow. Why to the bow - you will find out later, but for now make sure that the effect of the raised Bali door changes your opinion of the cockpit as just a narrow strip of deck.

And if you change the view so that you can see all the way to the door leading to the foredeck, you will have an almost complete view of this huge space.

The modular design method allows you to change the interior arrangement: instead of two armchairs with a cabinet (for cigars or wine), you can install a large comfortable sofa between them, as in the dining area opposite. You can freely seat 8 people at the folding table, and if you make room, then the whole ten. The catamaran is designed for 12 passengers, and a maximum of 12 sleeping places can be equipped if you use the forepeaks and lower the table in the saloon, covering it with a mattress.

But how can we feed these dozen, because so far we have only seen a grill in the cockpit... Oh, and there are also huge refrigerators on the starboard side, this already makes our task easier.

Well, if you get to the refrigerators, you'll of course also see that superbly equipped galley that rivals some home kitchens in terms of equipment, including an optional dishwasher.

And this is only part of the galley - as you can see in the photo below, there is also a cabinet with a large work surface and many drawers. But this natural wood finish is an option for those who prefer comfort and elegance.

Opposite the galley, on the starboard side, there is a full-fledged chart table, which can be equipped as a second control station with the installation of all the equipment that is provided at the main control station.

And to make it easier for you to navigate the placement of areas and furniture on the main deck, we suggest checking this schematic, because we are not finished yet. Through that door, to the left of the chart table, we go out onto the bow deck.

Even from the diagram it is clear that this entire area is given over to a recreation area. The entire area from the outer sides of each hull is used here, since the rigid bow deck is one of the Bali’s distinctive features, which attracted the attention of the topRik team.

This is a great solution both for an owner with a large family or a bunch of friends, and for a charter cruise. By the way, the Bali 4.4 has class A in the CE classification, that is, it allows even transatlantic crossings.

Inside the Cabins

Here again we invite you to consider the layout of the cabins. There are two main options: with three and four cabins, as well as with different possibilities for using quite spacious forepeaks. They can be equipped with berths for the crew or additional storage space can be arranged here.

If you are going to use the boat as an owner, we recommend the 3-cabin version. The left float here is completely dedicated to the master cabin; the design developers have achieved maximum comfort for its inhabitants.

Conventionally, the building can be divided into familiar zones: a king-size double bed with a large locker under it is a bedroom, a sofa with a work desk (or dressing table) is a boudoir or an office, and then in the bow there is a bathroom.

The bathroom is worth showing in more detail, since it is not always possible to see an isolated shower cabin of this size on a yacht of this length - the entire width of the hull, even in its narrow part, as well as two washbasins. There is enough space for both a toilet and a floor cabinet. Above the washbasins there are shelves, cabinets and a mirror.

In the other two cabins, the bathrooms are also individual, but the shower room, of course, is not the same size, and the cabins themselves are more modest, still they have everything you need for a comfortable life on board.

This is what the cabin located at the stern looks like: the bed is also double and large with a locker under it, and the number of portholes is the same as in the master cabin bedroom.

The configuration of the cabin at the bow is interesting: from here you can enter the forepeak - an inexhaustible source of ideas for children, and for boring adults - just a place to store luggage. Here, in addition to the porthole, there is also a hatch in the ceiling.

In general, you probably already noticed without us how much natural light and ventilation opportunities there are under the main deck of the Bali 4.4. Bathrooms are also keeping up with this trend, even in guest cabins.

The 4-cabin version is more suitable for a charter business or when purchasing a catamaran for two owners. The layout shows that the left hull with this configuration is a mirror image of the right one, and the photographs of the guest cabins posted above are also illustrations for this 4-cabin option.

Don’t forget also that a place to sleep for two can be arranged in the saloon, and we still have 2 forepeaks left in stock. A total of 12 sleeping places – everything fits together.

Well, it's time for the topRik team to head to the control room and head out to sea for further testing.

On the Flybridge and at Sea

The yacht turned out to be much more maneuverable than it seems at first glance. Bali 4.4 can be equipped with an additional headsail: it can be a spinnaker or a code 0, which provides the boat with good speed even in small tailwinds. Thanks to the dense structure of the structure and light weight, the yacht breaks into motion at a wind speed of 4.5-5 knots, at which it makes sense to adjust the sails.

The most comfortable control of winches and sheets, everything is within the skipper’s access with one hand, only the head sail is extended a little further. The helm panel is well equipped, and there is a very comfortable sofa that can accommodate up to 3 people, including, of course, the skipper.

Other observers can take seats on the mezzanine - just above on the flybridge there are excellent sun loungers and sofas. Entrance to the flybridge and helm station is from different sides, which is very convenient.

The mast on the catamaran is located aft, which is why the automatic staysail is larger and works quite efficiently. At the same time, the jib is by no means necessary when making tack turns: as we were able to see, even under one mainsail the Bali 4.4 maneuvers simply excellent - at least on smooth water.

This catamaran delights its helmsman: both due to its very decent speed and pleasant responsiveness of the helm, which is not typical of every double-hulled yacht. It really pleases with its driving performance, judge for yourself: with a wind of up to 15 knots, the Bali 4.4 on a sharp course developed up to 7.5 knots at a tacking angle of 110 degrees. You can go steeper into the wind than 55 degrees (sometimes this is even advisable, so as not to make unnecessary turns), but the speed drops significantly.

In our test, we were able to accelerate the boat to 8.2 knots without using a gennaker or code zero, which are a highly sought-after type of “turbocharging” for catamarans. Both of these sails - if the yacht is equipped with them - can be easily stored either in the forepeaks or in the lockers of the foredeck, where the tanks and anchor gear are located.

Advantages of Bali 4.4

Freedom, space and comfort are the main advantages of Bali 4.4. Moreover, comfort refers both to the arrangement of life for passengers on board the catamaran, and to the organization of the work of the crew. Everything is provided in full: from the absence of sharp corners and cutting surfaces to excellent ergonomics of the control station.

Bali 4.4 allows guests to fully enjoy even a long-term cruise, and the skipper and assistants to get real pleasure from working with sails without unnecessary difficulties.

Cost is last but not least advantage of such a thoughtful design and sufficient comfort for everyone.

Reviews of Bali 4.4 from Professionals

To date, reviews of the Bali 4.4 from professionals are limited only to the results of testing this catamaran by the author of Multihulls World, editor-in-chief of Multicoques Magazine and famous yachtsman Emmanuel Van Deth.

Emmanuel with his team tested Bali 4.4 in La Rochelle in sub-zero temperatures. He complained that they were unable to experience the beauty of the open space because the famous door was down and the windows were closed. But even in these conditions, the freedom of movement on the main deck was impressive, and the large saloon windows created a warm, homely atmosphere. True, to warm this atmosphere, a couple of heaters were still needed.

The crew had to gather their courage to unfurl the sails, since all the ropes had become stiff and cold from the frost.

All sailors commented on the very rigid composite sandwich deck - a carefully thought out deck design.

Next, Emmanuel describes the speed tests of the catamaran, linking the results with wind speed and the peculiarity of the sailing equipment - they have a raised mainsail, and also deployed “Code 0”, which was later changed to the self-tacking solent.

The author devoted the rest of the review to describing the design and equipment of the cockpit, saloon, flybridge, foredeck and cabins.

Model Comparison: Lagoon 46 vs Bali 4.6

Lagoon 46 vs bali 4.6:  which is better to own or sail in the charter.

So, you’re thinking of chartering a catamaran or even buying one and putting it in a charter program? As you may know, the sweet spot for family catamarans in the charter is between 44 and 52 feet -- this is where bareboat catamarans offer the best accommodations for charter guests and generate the most revenue for the yacht owner. 

Perhaps you’ve narrowed it down to two models, the Lagoon 46 and the Bali 4.6 , both of which are available through Navigare Yachting. So, which is better?

Let’s begin by comparing the specs and technical features. First, let’s clarify that the specifics of length overall (LOA), draft, and beam often appear in brochures and on websites differently for each model and they seldom agree. That said, it’s usually a matter of inches so it’s a moot point.

The Lagoon 46 is 45’ 11” LOA with a beam of 26’ 10” and a draft of 4’ 5” while the Bali 4.6 is 46’ 9” LOA with a beam of 25’ 1” and a draft of 4’. Lagoon’s extra beam may translate to slightly more room on deck and below while Bali’s marginally shallower draft may allow you to sail a little closer to the beach. Light displacement figures show the Lagoon is a little heavier at 15.7 tons vs Bali’s 13.6. That’s not insignificant since keeping weight down on a catamaran is critical but once you load up both models with equipment and full tanks, the differences will be fairly negligible.

The sail area and sail plan of both models are comparable: Lagoon offers 1,323 square feet of total upwind sail area while Bali has 1,311. Both offer square top mainsails to catch the last bit of wind up high and self-tacking jibs for easy short-handed sailing. Lagoon’s optional Code 0 is a bit bigger than Bali’s for faster downwind sailing.

Both models offer standard and upgraded (more powerful) engine packages and as luck would have it, they’re identical. Both brands offer Yanmar diesel with 45- or 57-hp models. Tankage differs slightly. The Bali offers 210 gallons of fresh water and 210 of diesel while Lagoon carries 137 gallons of fuel and 158 gallons of water. For charter or coastal cruising, fuel won’t be an issue, but water is always precious, so Bali has a slight edge here, especially with new boaters who like long showers.

A tour on deck does show some differences. The Lagoon 46 features low transom steps that are easy to ascend to the cockpit and engine room compartment hatches that open aft so they’re safer to access underway. Meanwhile, Bali has a slim deck behind the transom so once the dinghy is launched, you can traverse from port to starboard and back without stepping into the cockpit which is a nice additional feature. Lagoon’s side decks have flush hatches while Bali’s decks are mostly devoid of hatches which means you don’t have to step on or over them but there will be less airflow below and guests will be more reliant on air conditioning.

The foredeck and cockpit are where the real differences lie. The lagoon offers two traditional net trampolines forward. This keeps the weight low(er) and makes a great place to lounge on a lazy downwind sail while watching the hulls part the water. Bali has a solid foredeck that is topped with cushions forming a giant sunbed. It makes the model heavier forward, but it also offers better footing when catching a mooring or working with the windlass.

Both models have forward seating areas. In Bali, the lounge is well defined with a large table and a door that leads inside. This door not only brings in lots of fresh air at anchor but also changes the traffic patterns aboard. The Lagoon has a smaller lounge and a forward window that slides up/down to bring in some air and also offers a way to hand food and drinks to those relaxing upfront.

Aft is another stark difference. The Lagoon has a traditional outdoor cockpit (shown left, below). It’s large and has a wet bar with a sink and small fridge, a transom seat, and a side lounge. This is in addition to a separate interior salon settee. Meanwhile, Bali pioneered the indoor/outdoor approach (shown right, below) with only one seating area where the entire aft bulkhead lifts electrically like a garage door. Also, large side windows open to help bring the outdoors in.

Some people love doubling up the space and having only one dedicated dinette while others like a separate cockpit that is truly outdoors and that’s where Lagoon shines.

Flybridge and helm station

Both the Lagoon and the Bali are flybridge models meaning that there’s a steering station and extra lounge space up top. The Lagoon offers a way to ascend to the deck right from the cockpit and then up to the flybridge. (There’s a seat on the port side that slides forward to reveal steps.) You can also go aft via the cockpit and up a set of starboard steps. On the Bali, you must come up from the aft end and up steps on either side. Neither is better, they’re just different.

Bali’s helm station is offset to port while Lagoon’s wheel is on the centerline. On both models, you can see well forward but just about nothing aft since the respective hard Biminis obscure visibility to either transom and you’ll need crew to guide you when backing into a slip. Bali’s arrangement does offer better visibility down the port side where the sightlines are good when tying up the port to.

Bali offers a full dinette as well as a large sunbed on the flybridge while Lagoon has a long bench seat behind which you’ll find a lounge but no dinette. Both booms are high and that makes it difficult to manage the mainsail in the bag. Lagoon’s hardtop has ladders so you can climb up, but these ladders aren’t easy to maneuver on anything but a very still vessel.

Interior & accommodations

As mentioned above, Bali has one social/seating area and it serves as both the interior salon and the exterior cockpit. For those who like separate gathering spaces (for kids and adults, for example) the Lagoon offers two distinct areas aft while Bali offers a second large cockpit area forward in place of the trampoline. Both models have navigation desks in the corner for dedicated ship’s business. On the Lagoon, you’ll find the electrical/control panel at the stairs leading to the starboard hull while on the Bali, the panel is located at the nav desk.

Lagoon has refrigerator drawers with another front-loading fridge option. The striking difference here is that Bali uses a household-sized, side-by-side fridge/freezer combo with a water dispenser and an ice maker just like at home and that has great appeal to new boaters. Note that the drawers are more ocean-friendly as the “home fridge” will let items fly off the shelves if you must open the doors while underway in heavy seas. Another thing to keep in mind: although Bali’s fridge is more familiar and easy to work with, Lagoon’s refrigerator drawers will lose less of the cool temperature every time they’re opened. That means the batteries (and generator) have to work less hard and consume less fuel.

Both models offer plenty of countertop space and that works well when multiple people are cooking. On the Lagoon, if the chef is attending to food at the stove, the sous chef can be chopping and prepping at the side counter inboard. On Bali, the same holds except the two cooks have more separation. While one works at the sink or stove, the other can be preparing happy hour and passing it forward to the lounge area. Both galleys are central to all dining spaces inside or out which means the cooks stay in the middle of the social action even as they work and nobody feels left out of the fun. 

Stowage is good on both models below the cabin soles and beneath the settees. These spaces are key when storing gallons upon gallons of drinking water that makes its way aboard any charter. The same goes for wine bottle storage and dry goods that are provisioned. The Lagoon has handy overhead storage lockers but they can be tricky for short people or kids so be sure to pack the snacks down low.

Both models offer an owner’s version with the entire starboard hull dedicated to the owner’s suite. To maximize sleeping accommodations, four cabins with four heads (all with separate shower stalls) may be spaced on both models. One difference is that Bali offers a five-cabin layout with an over/under bunk cabin amidship on port (which is good for kids) and an aft cabin with its entry and head from the deck (which works well for professional crew). Bali may have an advantage for large groups that like the crew aboard.

The preferred layout of your catamaran in charter*. Above: the 4-cabin layout of the Lagoon 46 . Below: are the two options for the Bali 4.6 with the 4 and 5-cabin layouts:

As far as cabin layout is concerned, Lagoon chooses to fit 4 similar-sized cabins with the Queen-size berths facing forward and aft, which offers good walk-around space. Bali offers this option as well as berths orientated to face the water but does so with more steps. When the mid-ship berths face the hull windows, the beds are elevated, which may be a little intimidating for less nimble guests or those who are less comfortable with steps.

* Though the owner version is available for purchase in the Navigare Yachting fleet, few owners choose this layout for their new catamaran because it's less popular amongst charter clients and therefore generates less revenue.

Contact Navigare Yachting to obtain your Pro-forma including purchase price and expected return on your model of choice and for the charter base, you're considering.

Other considerations

There are some other issues to consider like the visual appeal of the boat and the finishes which are a matter of opinion. Equipment choices are comparable and pricing will depend on how you choose to outfit your yacht.

One fantastic upgrade on the Lagoon 46 is the hydraulic swim platform. This platform carries the dinghy but once that’s deployed, this area turns into a teak beach that can be lowered just below the waterline. It’s a great place for kids to play or for the less mobile to board the vessel and then be raised to deck level with no need to climb the transom ladder from the water.  Finally, there’s also the matter of resale value. Lagoon has been building boats since the 1980s and its brand is strong which may translate to a higher value when it comes time to sell.

Which is better: Lagoon 46 or Bali 4.6?

Personal preferences will drive the decision to choose one of these models over the other. Features like a hard foredeck, ample refrigeration, or a five-cabin layout as found on the Bali 4.6 may be important. However, the resale value from a well-established brand may trump all of those and may steer you towards the Lagoon 46 instead.

Then, of course, there’s the matter of aesthetics. Some people simply prefer one style over another. When comparing such similar models, the question isn’t really which is better, but rather which is better for you.
