Bella Description

The Bali 4.8 design was new to the market in 2020 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. The design is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space. It succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever- present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full- sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit of Bella. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Bella will accommodate 6 charter guests in 2 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling owners suite master cabin for those who desire more space. She has solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full-sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made eco-friendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, sub wing, wakeboard, stand up paddle board / kayak, towable water tube, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Bella giveaways.

JAMES

James grew up in the British countryside on a farm. From a young age he was obsessed with anything and everything mechanical. He spent summers in his father´s Irish coastal hometown of Dungarvan and it was there that he developed a love for the ocean.

He started a career in the luxury eyewear industry working for brands such as TAG Heuer and Calvin Klein, but eventually his love for the ocean won out and drew him toward a career in the yachting industry. He has worked for two years now as a charter captain in various locations including Croatia and French Polynesia.

Bella Guest Reviews

April 2024

We had an amazing time on Bella. We cannot say enough good things about Captain James and Olga. James did a great job discerning where our interests were and adjusting the itinerary for that. I feel that we were able to have some more exclusive experiences because of this. He knew how to avoid the crowds which was very appealing to our group. Somehow each day was better than the day before.

Olga’s food was outstanding. She paid great attention to detail and her dishes were better than any five star restaurant. From her presentation to her flavors, we were truly amazed after each meal. She has a gift for cooking and took special care to create meals that appealed to our group.

They were both very professional, but still friendly and we enjoyed getting to know them during our charter. We appreciated their expertise about the BVIs- the two times we are onshore they managed everything with the restaurants and made excellent recommendations.
We will recommend Bella and her crew in the future.

March 2024

We just spent the most epic time in the BVIs thanks to the best crew, James and Olga! They were very attentive to all of our needs and made sure we were having a great time! James is a great captain and will help create an itinerary that is flexible and fun for everyone.Olga is a culinary genius! She truly enjoys what she does as it is reflected in the time and care she takes in the presentation of her meals! They took us to some of the best places, Anegada, Saba Rock, Virgin Gorda(get a ride from Sweet Ice Willy) James will organize it for you. If you are thinking of booking a charter, we highly recommend booking your trip with them! Thanks again for making our first trip to the BVIs so memorable!

March 2024

From the moment we stepped aboard the Bella Charter, we knew we were in for a treat, but nothing could have prepared us for the incredible trip ahead. James was a fantastic captain, who did not only an incredible job navigating us around the most beautiful locations within the BVI’s but also was super great with our kids, taking them on wakeboard adventures, helping them fish, etc. The Bella itself was the most beautiful and comfortable boat. We are a family of 4 and the primary suite was much larger and expansive than expected. The indoor and outdoor lounge areas were super comfortable and there are a few different areas to hang out, providing opportunities to chill and read or socialize. And the food! Chef Tesha´s culinary magic turned each meal into a feast. She mastered cooking for a family with gluten, dairy and nut allergies in the most delicious way, which is no small feat! Her dishes were vibrant, fresh and family-friendly. This trip was the epitome of fun for our boys and super tranquil for us. It´s not a question of if, but when we will return again. A huge thank you to the crew for an unforgettable experience!

February 2024

First impressions: Impeccably clean, modern, airy, wonderfully welcoming crew

Loved our eating area with the indoor-outdoor concept. Spent so much time here. Loved that there were different common areas to gather and sit.

The crew was wonderful and really met our needs/interests. Loved that we could totally relax and just have fun, not worry about anything. Slept so well! The food was fantastic.

James was wonderful! Available when we needed him and really meshed well with our group. Very friendly and funny, and really seemed to understand what we were interested in. He hustled every day to find us the best spots to visit/moor!

Olga was LOVELY. So sweet and kind, and really interested in making things from her heart/culture but also tailored to what we liked. The food was delicious and there was always plenty. Presentation was beautiful.

February 2024

James and Olga thanks for a great week for laughing at our jokes accommodating our dietary requirements, and for showing us all the amazing sites in the BVI we really appreciate all your hard work and hospitality.
