Why charter this Bali 5.4 Open Space - 5 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 Open Space - 5 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.
The Palermo coast and Ustica
Two very different sails share a base at Palermo: the sheltered gulf shore under Monte Pellegrino, and the exposed hop out to Ustica, a black-lava island and marine reserve with some of the clearest water in the western Med. Palermo Airport (PMO) is a 35–60-minute road transfer, with Trapani (TPS) the longer drive. With the handover done, a cove along the near shore covers the first night while you weigh the forecast for Ustica; the crossing is the leg to save for settled conditions, and the days closer in run between harbour towns rather than anchorages, so keep the last one near base. Cefalù and the north coast are a longer haul, better suited to a trip with a second week than to a single one.
