Chillin Hut Description

CHILLIN’ HUT is a 2025 Bali 5.4 sailing catamaran built for effortless Caribbean cruising with Bali’s Open Space Concept. Standout: the hydraulic tilting aft door and galley-to-bow door that create one seamless indoor-outdoor terrace. Sleeps 8 - 9 in 5 berths: 1 spacious Owner’s suite with a walk-around bed, 3 Queen cabins, plus a compact forepeak berth - four main cabins each with a private ensuite. Relax on the flybridge lounges, dine in open-air zones, then step down to the hydraulic swim platform for an easy dip. Solar panels, lithium batteries, A/C throughout, watermaker, and serious cold storage keep island days smooth and refreshingly self-sufficient. Go green, cruise luxe - CHILLIN’ HUT is pure island time.

Chillin Hut Guest Reviews

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

Raul was the best skipper ever. Super fun, responsible and ensured that we have a great time.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

Our skipper was exceptional! He went above and beyond to make sure my crew and I had a good time. I would recommend our skipper to any group of friends.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

She made our experience truly five stars. Her food was stellar and presentation was top tier.
Every dish was somehow even better than the last. She also made sure our on and off boat time was well planned so we could enjoy every moment and she brought the best energy all week.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

He was the best of the best, always willing to help and made sure we were having a great time. He was able to be himself and I believe that is what it is all about.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

AMAZING Raul was the best more than just a skipper he became our friend. Would recommend to everyone.
