Bali 5.4 “Giliss” – Owner’s Version, Fully Equipped for Ocean Cruising
The Bali 5.4 “Giliss” is an owner’s version catamaran, fully equipped for bluewater sailing and long-term liveaboard comfort.
She has had only one private owner, a family of six, and has never been chartered.
After launching in France, Giliss joined the Rallye des Îles du Soleil 2024 and continued across the Atlantic and Pacific to French Polynesia.
With 5 + 1 cabins, including:
a spacious owner’s suite with private deck access,
two double cabins and one twin cabin,
an independent aft cabin with its own exterior access,
plus a skipper’s cabin in the forepeak with toilet, this yacht is ideal for a large family or as a high-end charter vessel.

Comfort & Living Spaces
The Bali 5.4 is renowned for its exceptional space and open living concept, one of the key reasons the owners chose this model. With four high-school-aged children and parents continuing to work remotely, generous private and shared spaces were essential.
Despite her comfort, Giliss is a capable sailing yacht — she proudly won the catamaran category in all stages of the Rallye des Îles du Soleil.

Highlights

The enormous saloon with open galley and seating for 12 becomes a breezy indoor–outdoor space when the door is raised.

Sailing & Deck Equipment
The owners have set the boat up really nicely for sailing. She features a large sail area with a square-top mainsail and furling solent, complemented by an excellent downwind sail package: a Code 0 on furler and a 222 m² Parasailor with easy snuffer system.
All halyards are top-quality Gottifredi Maffioli, ensuring smooth handling and durability. Electric winches and a Wichard boom brake further enhance ease of sail management and safety.
