12m Bali 4.1 Catamaran Charter Rhodes | 2020 | NE1204

A Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes week begins at the New Marina, a short walk from the medieval old town and a morning’s sail from Symi: a 2020 hull from the Catana yard, twelve and a half metres on deck and six metres eighty across the beam, with four double cabins, four electric heads and a tender garage under the aft platform. Air conditioning and a generator are aboard, which between July and September is the difference between a week you remember and a week you endure.

A full-batten mainsail and a self-tacking jib make the Dodecanese easy to work single-handed, and solar panels feed the domestic circuit without the generator running. Aquinox arranges this Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes the way guests actually want a catamaran arranged: provisioned before arrival, skippered if you wish, and routed so every evening ends somewhere worth waking up in.

Twelve metres, built in 2020

A Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes booking puts you on the boat that made the yard’s reputation. Instead of a trampoline forward it carries a solid foredeck with a second cockpit, and instead of a sliding door between saloon and cockpit it has a single tilting garage door that lifts clear and leaves one continuous room from the helm seat to the bow. On a hot Aegean afternoon that matters more than any other single design decision.

Displacement is a light nine tonnes, twin forty-horsepower diesels push her at cruising speed in a calm, and four hundred litres of fuel and eight hundred of water give a real week between fills. The flybridge helm sits high enough to see both bows when you are stern-to in a crowded harbour.

A Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes week through the Dodecanese

From the New Marina a Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes itinerary usually runs north: Symi for the harbour at Gialos and the monastery at Panormitis, then Tilos, Nisyros for the caldera, and Kos. Westward you pick up Chalki and the long empty beaches of Alimia. Meltemi season funnels wind down between the islands, and a catamaran that sits flat and draws little takes the anchorages the monohulls have to give up.

The eating is the point as much as the sailing. Pedi and Nimborio keep tables at the water where the only sensible approach is by tender, and the octopus and the local thyme honey are worth planning a day around. Aquinox books the berths and the tables before you arrive.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon of this Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes runs the full beam, with an L-shaped settee and a dining table to port and a straight sofa to starboard, both under panoramic glass. The galley is set along the starboard side with a three-burner hob, an oven, a deep sink and a full-height fridge-freezer, so whoever is cooking is still in the conversation rather than exiled below.

A chart table with instruments, breaker panel and VHF sits forward to starboard beside a barometer and a ship’s clock. Pale oak joinery, cream upholstery and a light timber sole keep the interior calm rather than glossy, and opening coachroof hatches keep the space cool without the air conditioning running.

Four cabins

Each hull of this Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes carries two double cabins, and each has its own electric head with a washbasin and a separate shower rather than a shared wet-room. Hull windows at berth level mean you wake to water instead of a porthole, and opening hatches above every berth matter more in the Aegean than any amount of joinery. Two additional single berths in the bow compartments take the boat to ten if you need them. Linen and towels are laid out fresh on turnaround.

On deck and in the water

The forward cockpit is the feature that sells a Bali 4.1 charter Rhodes week: a sunbed, a bench and a table on the foredeck, shaded by the coachroof overhang and open to the breeze on passage. Aft there is a second cockpit table, a bathing platform on each hull, and a dinghy with an outboard on davits. Snorkelling equipment, cockpit speakers and a bimini come as standard.
