Accommodations

MERIDIAN is a 2027 52’ Bali 5.2 sailing catamaran built for spacious, breezy Bahamas escapes with Bali’s signature open-plan flow. Her up-and-over “Bali door” opens the salon wide to the cockpit, creating one seamless entertaining space, while the solid foredeck lounge offers front-row sea views and the oversized flybridge becomes a favorite spot for sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails. Accommodating up to 12 guests, MERIDIAN offers 5 guest cabins: 3 queen cabins and 2 cabins featuring a queen bed with an upper bunk. Each cabin includes a private ensuite, providing comfort and privacy for families or groups traveling together. Bright interiors and effortless indoor-outdoor living give every anchorage the relaxed feel of a private floating villa. Spacious, social, and sunshine-ready, MERIDIAN is Bahamas time, dialed in. Photos shown are stock images for reference. Yacht décor and finishes will vary. Photos will be updated when she is charter ready.
