The 5 cabin’s crewed catamaran Bali 5.4 - 5 + 2 cab was built in 2023 and it is docked in ST. Petersburg, USA. The Bali 5.4 - 5 + 2 cab (2023) can accommodate up to 10 people in 5 cabins and it has 5 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 55 ft / 16,8 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: captain, sales tax, yacht insurance, final cleaning. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Bali 5.4 - 5 + 2 cab
5 cabins for 10 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 16,8 m, this catamaran needs earlier berth planning and more turning room in busy marinas.
Best charter fit
Bali 5.4 - 5 + 2 cab suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 5 cabins and 5 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
Tampa Bay and the Gulf barrier islands from St Petersburg
On Tampa Bay the summer sky sets the schedule as much as the chart: afternoon thunderstorms build fast, so most days start early and finish before they do. After handover the boat tucks in behind a close key such as Egmont for the first night, then works south into the warm, shallow Intracoastal Waterway past Sarasota, where the barrier islands hold the inside water quiet. Tampa International (TPA) is the main gateway, with St Pete-Clearwater (PIE) a 25–45-minute alternative. In a week you can reach the quieter southern keys and turn back with a spare day held for weather. The longer run to Fort Myers, Sanibel and the shelling beaches lies well south and is better kept for a trip with more time.
