PORTFOLIO is a 2027 52’ Bali 5.2 sailing catamaran built for spacious, breezy Bahamas escapes with Bali’s signature open-plan flow. Her up-and-over “Bali door” opens the salon wide to the cockpit, creating one seamless entertaining space, while the solid foredeck lounge offers front-row sea views and the oversized flybridge becomes a favorite spot for sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails.
Accommodating up to 12 guests, PORTFOLIO offers 5 guest cabins: 3 queen cabins and 2 cabins featuring a queen bed with an upper bunk. Each cabin includes a private ensuite, providing comfort and privacy for families or groups traveling together. Bright interiors and effortless indoor-outdoor living give every anchorage the relaxed feel of a private floating villa. Spacious, social, and sunshine-ready, PORTFOLIO is Bahamas time, dialed in.

Meridian (Formerly Portfolio) Guest Reviews

Crew Review from Previous Yacht - June 2026

We just spent the most amazing week with Captain Ethan and Chef Danni in the Bahamas. Captain Ethan is professional and very kind. Chef Danni was the BEST Chef we had so far. Her breakfast with eggs wrapped in bacon and the fruit.... her appetizers - meatballs, butternut squash, eggplant and her lunches..... hamburgers, ribs, greek salad, and of course the famous chicken salad. And the Captain and Chef went snorkeling with us. Love that. Great Memories.
-Laura June 2026

Crew Review from Previous Yacht - February 2026

It was the perfect experience - and tough to leave the idyllic Aboco Islands. Our captain Ethan was the perfect leader for our adventure. He was skilled, so capable, and determined we would have nothing but the best of experiences! We had fun filled days, exceptional excursions, and so much fun laughing and exploring the Bahamas! His joy was contagious! We loved it all - feeding turtles and rays squid from between our toes, the board meeting at Hippy Beach, and feeding fish our salad veggies at Mermaid Reef. We always knew we were safe - whether we were diving, snorkeling, sailing, or simply settled for the night. Ethan was an amazing problem solver, teacher, and guide…. We would follow him anywhere. His first mate/ Chef, Dani, was delightful and a perfect match to the 2person team. Beautiful, kind and so absolutely skilled in making our meals. There was always copious quantities, always fresh- and oh so wonderfully delicious! When ´we´ caught two HUGE mutton snappers, Dani prepared a feast/for dinners and amazing appetizers! And she brought fun and joy to the group. We loved our boat- the layout, amenities. and impeccable cleanliness - the ´crew´ - the itinerary - and our fellow shipmates. We did NOT want to leave!
