Yacht Style – July 2019

B

ali Catamarans, part of the Catana Group on France, has

appointed Asia Marine Phuket as its exclusive dealer for

Thailand. One of Phuket’s longest established yacht charter,

management and brokerage agencies, Asia Marine will take

delivery of a Bali 4.1 sailing catamaran in November.

Vincent Tabuteau, CEO and founder of Asia Marine, said: “We

are excited to represent Bali Catamarans for buyers in Thailand and

especially Phuket. Bali yachts fill a niche for open-space models

in the mid-range market, and these boats are in high demand for

chartering from Phuket and around the Andaman Sea.”

Boris Compagnon, Sales Director of Bali Catamarans, was

delighted with the brand’s new representative in Thailand.

“We have a good relationship with Asia Marine,” Compagnon said.

“They’re exactly what we were looking for, to represent us with a great

reputation. We believe they’ll do a great job for us.”

One of the world leaders in cruising multihulls, Bali earned global

attention in April when its flagship 5.4 sailing catamaran was named

Multihull of the Year (40-55ft) at the International Multihull Boat

Show at La Grande Motte in southern France.

Paul Stamp, Senior Broker and Operations Manager at Asia

Marine, said: “Between Vincent and I, we have over 30 years of

experience with yachting in Asia. We’re able to help both potential

and current owners with their boats, and provide a healthy return on

their investment by placing their yacht in the charter market.

“Another major positive for me with Bali catamarans is that the

complete range is fitted with Yanmar engines as standard, which have

proven to be excellent engines in our tropical waters. And the arrival

of the 4.1 in November is an exciting opportunity for buyers who want

to own a brand-new Bali Catamaran just in time for Phuket’s high

season.”

An evolution of the Bali 4.0, the Bali 4.1 is 12.1m long with a

beam of 6.7m. With interior decor by Lasta Design Studio, the model

features a spacious cockpit and saloon that connect when the pivoting

glazed door opens up.

The interior features an L-shaped sofa to port and another couch

to starboard, while the galley is forward and faces retracting or sliding

windows, to provide ventilation. The seaworthy foredeck has a large

sunbathing area, a forward cockpit comfortably accommodates crew,

while the model arriving in Phuket has four comfortable guest cabins,

two in each hull.

Asia Marine also represents Galeon, Wellcraft and Numarine in

Thailand.
