Bali 4.0 Buyer's Guide
Within the Bali catamaran family, the 4.0 is the most compact design and entered the lineup in 2015, a 39-foot Xavier Faÿ design built by Bali Catamarans under Catana. On the brokerage market it shows up in both owner and charter-derived layouts, with ex-charter examples a common sight and the four-cabin charter version more frequently available than the owner-suite arrangement.
Layouts on the Used Market
Bali offered the 4.0 with an owner's version using the whole port hull as a suite and two cabins to starboard, as well as a four-cabin layout presumably aimed at charter use; a starboard-hull variant with two ensuite heads also exists. The signature feature is the full-width aft "Garage Door" that lifts on hydraulic arms to join saloon and cockpit into one open space, and the builder has since dropped the electric mechanism anchor. Forward, a rigid sun-deck replaces the usual trampoline and the windshield center drops down for foredeck passage. Used buyers will most often encounter the charter four-cabin boat, but two-hull owner layouts are obtainable.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most used Bali 4.0s carry the systems a long-distance cruiser needs: chartplotter, autopilot, watermaker, solar, inverter, and life raft are commonly fitted, with bimini and radar often seen. For buyer consequence, the power and energy cluster matters most — a watermaker and inverter paired with solar let a boat sit comfortably off-grid, while a commonly fitted life raft speaks to offshore intent. Canvas and sail handling usually include the bimini and often dinghy davits, and navigation is headed by the Raymarine electronics and chartplotter. Less common but valuable owner upgrades include air conditioning, electric winches, heating, and AIS, which a buyer should treat as bonuses rather than expectations.
What to Inspect
The saloon lacks overhead grab rails for rough-water security, a serious omission noted by Boat Review: Bali 4.0 anchor. The garage door's mechanism should be cycled, especially on later simplified (non-electric) units, and the transom davit system lowered to confirm the steel supports and platform operate cleanly. Check the alloy through-hulls and double-clamped hoses for European-standard corrosion or chafe, and verify the cabinetry remains tabbed to structure with neat plumbing and wiring as delivered.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats regularly appear in Croatia, the United States, Italy, Martinique, France, and Greece. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm layout (owner versus four-cabin charter), exercise the garage door and transom davits, verify solar/watermaker/inverter presence for independence, and inspect through-hulls and interior tabbing. A clean example with the common offshore equipment and intact convertible structure is the target.
