FARBEN is a brand-new Bali sailing catamaran, delivered in 2025 and built around one simple idea: open, flowing living space from bow to stern. Bali made their name by rethinking the catamaran layout, replacing the usual folding doors and bulkheads with a single continuous living area, and the result is a yacht that feels unusually bright, airy and sociable for her size. For eight guests who want an easy, modern catamaran week in the Mediterranean, she is a relaxed and generous choice.
That open concept is her defining feature. The main salon sits level with the cockpit and runs straight through, so the galley, dining and lounge share one light-filled space wrapped in glazing, and the aft cockpit becomes a seamless extension of it. Forward, where most catamarans stop at a bulkhead, Bali carries the living space on: a second cockpit and sun pads on the foredeck make a private retreat for sunbathing and sundowners, open to the breeze and the sea on three sides.
Above, the flybridge gathers everyone together. The helm shares the upper deck with deep lounging and sun pads, so the person steering is never cut off from the party, and at golden hour it becomes the best seat aboard. Everywhere on deck the emphasis is on moving freely between sun and shade, with wide, flat surfaces and easy access to the water that make the whole yacht feel bigger than her length.
Inside, the mood is warm and contemporary. Timber joinery and pale fabrics keep the interior bright and uncluttered, and the wraparound windows mean the sea is never out of sight, whether you are at the dining table, in the lounge or reading in the quiet corner by the desk. It is a calm, modern space designed for barefoot days rather than formality.
Below, four cabins sleep eight across the two hulls, each with its own natural light and ensuite facilities, so two couples and a family, or a group of friends, can settle in with everyone comfortable. The finish is consistent throughout, warm and simple, and the layout keeps the cabins private and quiet while all the living happens on the bright level above.
Getting into the sea could not be easier. The wide, flat transom steps down to the water and gives the yacht a natural bathing area, a place to launch paddleboards and toys or simply to sit with feet in the sea between swims. Combined with her light draft, it means FARBEN can tuck into shallow, sandy anchorages that larger yachts have to pass by, and turn each one into a private swimming spot for the whole party.
On the water she is steady and undemanding. A sailing catamaran of this size holds her level through a breeze, so life aboard stays easy, and her light draft lets her tuck into shallow bays and anchor close to the beach for swimming straight off the stern. A crew of two handles the sailing and the hosting, keeping the week informal, and the West Mediterranean suits her perfectly: short, sheltered hops between coves and islands, long lunches at anchor and the freshness of a yacht in her very first season. FARBEN is a bright, easy and genuinely modern way to spend a week at sea.
