Whether sipping a cocktail at sunset or enjoying lively conversation under the stars, this elevated space provides a front-row seat to the beauty of the open sea.
At the front of the yacht, the forward cockpit is a serene haven, perfect for unwinding with a morning coffee or sharing an intimate meal while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The aft cockpit, thoughtfully designed with comfortable seating and a spacious dining area, sets the stage for relaxed gatherings and gourmet meals prepared by an expert onboard chef.
A Bright and Inviting Main Salon
The main deck is home to an airy and beautifully designed salon, where natural light pours in through large windows, illuminating the stylishly furnished lounge. Fully air-conditioned for maximum comfort, this welcoming space seamlessly connects to the yacht’s well-equipped galley and offers direct access to the forward cockpit. Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon indoors or preparing for an exciting day on the water, the main salon is a perfect place to gather and unwind.
Your Exclusive Escape Awaits

From the moment you step on deck, every detail is designed to elevate your journey, providing the perfect balance of relaxation, indulgence, and exploration. Secure your spot today and set sail for the vacation of a lifetime!
MERRY-TIME is a 2022 48’ Bali 4.8 sailing catamaran built for easy, open-air living in the Virgin Islands. Bali’s signature indoor-outdoor flow connects the bright, fully air-conditioned salon and open galley directly to the aft and forward cockpits, creating inviting spaces for relaxed dining, lounging, and sunset cocktails. Above, the spacious flybridge offers comfortable seating and panoramic 360° views, while multiple deck zones make it easy to gather together or find a quiet corner with a book.
Accommodating up to 8 guests, MERRY-TIME offers 4 queen cabins, each with a queen bed measuring approximately 5’ wide by 6’6” long. Every cabin features a private ensuite with an electric head, shower, sink, vanity, and individually controlled A/C. The starboard-side cabins include dry stall showers, while the port-side cabins feature wet showers. Large windows keep the interior bright and connected to the surrounding scenery, while water toys add plenty of fun between anchorages. Uncomplicated, comfortable, and island-ready, MERRY-TIME delivers effortless Caribbean days.

Marvelous Trip
It made a huge difference having Adam as a captain. He has worked commercially with the BVI's for more than 5 years. His safety and flexibility were noticeable.
Kate the cook was the best we ever had. She was always anticipating our needs and not once we had to ask her for anything.
Thank you, for the recommendation and selection.
