15m Bali 4.8 Charter Fethiye | 2022 | BA1503

A 2022 hull, three double cabins and a separate crew cabin: this Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye is the current flagship of the Bali range in miniature, and she lies at Yacht Club Mai, ten minutes from Fethiye town. Fifteen metres long on a beam of nearly eight, she is a wide, stiff platform rather than a narrow one, with twin 55 HP Yanmar diesels, a full-batten mainsail and a furling genoa. The hull is fibreglass; the layout is the Bali signature, with a solid foredeck instead of a trampoline.

Six guests sleep aboard in three cabins, each with a private heads and shower. The fourth cabin forward is for the skipper, which is the point: a Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye can be taken bareboat or run for you, and the crew never crosses the guest accommodation to reach a berth.

Fifteen metres, launched in 2022

She measures 49 feet with a beam of 26 feet and draws only 4 feet, which opens up anchorages a monohull cannot reach. The Bali party trick is the tilting garage door aft: the saloon bulkhead lifts away and the cockpit and interior become one room, twelve metres from the helm seat to the forward lounge. Forward, the solid deck carries a sunbed and a second seating area with its own table, so the boat has two separate outdoor rooms plus the flybridge.

Systems are the part that matters on a two-week booking. She carries a generator, solar panels, an inverter, a watermaker, air conditioning throughout and electric winches. Fuel is 1,000 litres and fresh water 400, topped up by the watermaker rather than by a hose. A chart plotter, autopilot, electric heads and a coffee machine are all fitted as standard.

A Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye on the Lycian coast

Fethiye is the best-placed base on this shore. The Twelve Islands lie an hour out; Gocek and its dozen sheltered bays are two; south run Butterfly Valley, Oludeniz and the cliffs below Kabak. The shallow draught is what makes a Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye different here — you can tuck into the head of a bay the deep-keeled boats have to anchor off, and swim from the steps rather than the tender.

Aquinox arranges boat-in dining along the coast, the waterline tavernas where the kitchen sits at sea level and the table waits for the yacht to come alongside. A Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye turns the gulf into a week of them.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon runs the full beam in pale oak and grey linen, with a dining table for eight to port and an L-shaped galley to starboard: gas hob, oven, twin sink, full-height fridge. Windows wrap three sides and the roof hatches open above the table. With the aft bulkhead raised the whole level becomes one space, which is the reason people choose a Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye over a conventional catamaran of the same length.

Three double cabins

Each of the three guest cabins takes a double bed with a private heads and a separate shower cubicle, finished in oak veneer with opening portlights or a hull window at pillow height. Two sit aft in the hulls and one forward. Storage is generous: hanging lockers, drawers under every berth and shelving along the hull side. The fourth forward cabin is the skipper’s and has its own access.

Because each cabin has its own heads, a Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye of this layout suits three couples as readily as a family of six. Linen and towels are aboard, and turndown and daily cleaning come with the crewed option.

On deck and in the water

Deck space is the real measure of a Bali 4.8 charter Fethiye, and the beam gives her three separate areas. The flybridge carries a wrap-around lounge and the main helm with electric winches to hand. The foredeck holds a sunbed and a dining table on solid glass rather than netting. Aft, the cockpit opens into the saloon and the steps drop straight to the water. A dinghy with outboard, paddleboards, a jet ski and a sea scooter can all be added by the week.
