Accommodations

DRIFT, formerly LOCATION 5.4, is a Bali 5.4 sailing catamaran made for effortless island escapes, with teak decks, generous lounging zones, and the signature Bali indoor-outdoor flow. Her spacious flybridge features a helm station, multiple seating areas, and panoramic 360-degree views, creating a favorite perch for breezy cruising and sunset cocktails. Outdoor living continues with a forward cockpit for lounging and dining, plus an aft cockpit with additional seating and dining space. Accommodating up to 8 guests, DRIFT offers 4 queen-berth guest cabins, each with a private ensuite electric head, separate stall shower, vanity, and individually controlled A/C. All guest cabins feature dry heads, with the exception of the starboard aft cabin. The bright, fully air-conditioned salon connects directly to the forward cockpit, while the open-plan galley keeps the main deck airy, social, and comfortable. Recent upgrades, including new bedding, premium linens, updated soft goods, enhanced amenities, and water toys, refresh the onboard experience where it counts. Crew accommodations are in the midship starboard cabin.
