High 5
Locations
High 5 Overview
HIGH 5 is a 2023 Bali 5.4 sailing catamaran designed for relaxed, spacious island living, with the signature open-concept layout that makes Bali such a favorite for charter. The full-width lifting aft door opens the salon completely to the cockpit, creating one expansive indoor-outdoor living area filled with natural light and panoramic views. Forward, the solid foredeck provides a comfortable lounge and sunbathing area, while the flybridge offers another inviting space to gather, unwind, and take in the scenery from above.
Accommodating up to 8 guests, HIGH 5 features 1 spacious owner’s suite and 3 queen guest cabins, each with a private ensuite. The generous four-cabin layout provides plenty of privacy without sacrificing the open, social feel throughout the yacht. With multiple lounging and dining areas from bow to stern, bright contemporary interiors, and an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, HIGH 5 offers a comfortable and versatile home base for exploring the islands.
Crew normally occupies the twin cabin. On request, the crew may relocate to a queen cabin and forepeak for an additional $1,000 fee. Please inquire in advance.
