Bali 4.4, a 44-foot sailing catamaran designed as the successor to the Bali 4.3 and 4.51, made its debut at the International Multihull Show 2022 in La Grande Motte, France. This design builds on the key elements of Bali catamarans, including the rigid forward cockpit with lounge and sunbathing areas, a platform connecting the transoms with a bench seat and lockers, the signature "BALI" door for seamless indoor/outdoor living, and convenient side-sliding bays.

SY Proteus perfectly embodies Bali's innovative open-space concept, characterized by a vast and inviting cockpit and saloon area. The signature "Bali door" allows these spaces to merge effortlessly, creating an expansive and interconnected living area from the transom to the bow. This exceptional vessel, meticulously maintained in pristine condition, has never been chartered and has been enjoyed privately by its current owner.

The four-cabin configuration comfortably accommodates up to eight guests in four well-appointed double cabins, each complete with its own private head and shower. The interior, thoughtfully designed by Lasta Design Studio, showcases light, fluid shapes, ergonomic design, and high-quality materials. The spacious, L-shaped galley has been carefully crafted for optimal ergonomics and convenience, ensuring a pleasurable culinary experience on board.

"Proteus" offers an unparalleled sense of freedom, space, and comfort for both passengers and crew. A walk-through of the catamaran reveals a consistent emphasis on maximising usable space and seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The catamaran offers a satisfying balance of speed and responsiveness on the water. Its mast position facilitates efficient use of the staysail, allowing for speeds of up to 7.5 knots at a tacking angle of 110 degrees in winds up to 15 knots.

In addition to her many fine features, "Proteus" includes a 3.7-meter Highfield dinghy powered by a 15 HP Yamaha outboard engine, providing convenient access to shore and opportunities for water sports. She is equipped with full protection covers for the helm, ensuring the longevity and pristine condition of the yacht's controls and instruments. The aft cockpit is fitted with custom sunshades, offering privacy and protection from the elements. The foredeck features a sun tent, creating a comfortable shaded retreat while at anchor in secluded bays. For ease of manoeuvring, twin cameras are mounted on the roof, providing a clear view of the stern. Furthermore, the galley is equipped with a water filtration system, ensuring that the freshwater supply is safe and potable. This exceptional yacht is presented in excellent condition and is ready to embark on new adventures.

"Proteus" was delivered to her owner in 2023, a delay attributed to the global pandemic. While the registration documents indicate a build year of 2022, the hull number confirms that the boat was actually manufactured in 2023. The owner personally sailed the catamaran from France to Turkey in 2023, and the initial engine service, required after 50 hours of operation, was performed in Spain during the voyage. Regular engine maintenance has been diligently carried out every 500 hours by authorized Yanmar dealers in Croatia and Turkey, ensuring optimal engine performance and reliability. To address a delay in the delivery of the originally specified Onan generator due to the pandemic, the owner made the prudent decision to install a brand-new, Italian-made generator (featuring a Yanmar block) in Croatia. This reliable generator has only accumulated approximately 385 hours of use.

Now offered for sale by her original owner, "Proteus" represents an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a meticulously maintained and fully equipped catamaran. The owner recently made a discount of €175k and accepts cryptocurrency as a form of payment for a quick sale. Showings can be arranged by appointment only during regular business hours, excluding Sundays. Please schedule your viewing at least three days in advance to allow for proper coordination.
