Equanimity Overview
EQUANIMITY is a 2026 Bali 5.8 sailing catamaran created for spacious, relaxed cruising throughout the British Virgin Islands. With approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of usable deck space, she offers an exceptional sense of openness from bow to stern. Bali’s signature design brings the salon and cockpit together into one expansive indoor-outdoor living area, while the solid foredeck creates a comfortable additional lounge and sunbathing space. Above, the generous flybridge provides panoramic views and an elevated setting for quiet mornings, afternoon lounging, or sunset cocktails.
Thoughtfully equipped for extended time on the water, EQUANIMITY is designed as a self-sufficient, solar-powered charter yacht, allowing guests to enjoy the islands with a greater sense of independence and comfort. Bright interiors, multiple gathering areas, and seamless movement between the salon, foredeck, cockpit, and flybridge make her especially well suited to families and groups who want room to spread out without losing the social feel of a shared charter experience.
Accommodating up to 8 guests, EQUANIMITY features 1 king primary suite and 3 queen cabins, each with a private ensuite. With generous accommodations, expansive living spaces, and a layout designed to make the most of life outdoors, EQUANIMITY offers a comfortable and beautifully connected home base for exploring the BVI at an easy island pace.

Meet The Crew
Giacomo “Jack” Russo
Captain
Captain Giacomo “Jack” Russo
Born and raised in Italy, Captain Giacomo “Jack” Russo has always been drawn to the sea, adventure, and meeting people from around the world. Known as “Captain Jack” for easier communication onboard, he brings an easygoing, social, and professional presence to every charter.
Over the past several years, sailing has taken him from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and French Polynesia, where he has worked as both a captain and sailing instructor. His experience has given him a strong understanding of changing conditions, thoughtful planning, and the balance between structure and spontaneity that makes each day on the water feel effortless.
Giacomo enjoys helping guests make the most of their time onboard, whether that means finding the right anchorage, encouraging them to get involved under sail, or simply giving them the space to relax and enjoy the journey. His calm approach and attention to safety allow guests to feel comfortable and well looked after from the moment they step aboard.
Before building his sailing career, Giacomo gained experience in five-star hospitality, where he developed an appreciation for attentive service and the small details that make a guest experience feel special. He carries that same mindset into chartering, combining relaxed confidence with professionalism and care.
Outside of sailing, Giacomo enjoys traveling, sports, music, reading, and discovering new places. He holds an RYA Yachtmaster Commercial Endorsement, ASA Instructor certification, and PADI Advanced Open Water certification.
