Oceana 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 Oceana. 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.

Oceana will accommodate 8 charter guests in 4 spacious queen cabins. She has soft foam decking encompassing the deck and flybridge, lithium batteries and solar panels that allows the air conditioning to run without generator at times, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, subwing, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 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 Oceana giveaways.

UMBERTO

Born and raised in Sicily in the south of Italy, Umberto has spent a great deal of time around the water. Even as a young child he was passionate about watersports, fishing and outdoor activities. After he received his bachelor’s degree in business administration in Milan, he traveled to Australia to work in hospitality at the famous Sydney Opera House, he also lived in Hong Kong for 4 months while interning for a digital start-up.

In 2017 he found himself back in Italy and decided to spend more time on the water and thus started working for The Yacht Week, a popular flotilla company that operates in the Mediterranean but also in other locations like BVI, Martinique and Tahiti. Starting as a Skipper and moving quickly to higher positions such as Lead Skipper and Route Manager. For 2 years he also held the role of Instructor for Quarterdeck, a company that trains and mentors professional skippers.

In the 6 years he worked for Quarterdeck and The Yacht Week, he completed more than 80 charters in several locations around the Mediterranean and abroad, covering more than 100,000 nautical miles.

When not on the water, he also likes to drive motorbikes. One of his most memorable trips was in India driving through the highest motorable pass in the world at +5.000 meters of altitude.

Umbi + Judith,

Thank you for an amazing week. You were kind and so accommodating to our entire family. We had so much fun. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We gathered from all over the US for this week – Florida, Texas, and Houston. Your service allowed us to have an unforgettable week as a family.

Sincerely,

The Revard and Morris family

Umbi + Judith,

Words can’t express what this trip meant to us! It far exceeded our expectations. Not just the incredible scenery but the meals, the thoughtfulness of each, place chosen and attention given to us to ensure this was a trip to remember. We look forward to seeing Umbi and Judith again for future trips!

Pure perfection! Everything was amazing! You even ordered up our request for nice weather and (almost) always smooth seas. This was the most unforgettable trip - the food you made was truly 5 star, but the presentation was equally stunning. Great captain! We felt truly cared for with your kind and knowledgeable personality. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you´d like to visit the Midwest and stay at our home. Sorry my cooking will not come close to yours. We would love to sail with you again soon.

We just experienced an unforgettable week aboard beautiful Oceana. You both made the trip top notch with the best chef on the ocean and the incredible captain! Thank you for making our first trip to the BVI so memorable!! We hope to sail with you again.

February 2023

The final day has arrived, sadly! Thank you both for this wonderful experience. It is memorable for the things I learned about sailing, for the beautiful places we visited, but mostly for the warmth and welcoming felt from you both. My only regret is the 5-6 pounds I likely gained from not being able to turn down a morsel of the incredible cuisine offered. Thank you and smooth sailing through life.

February 2023

We had a great experience with Umberto and Judith. As I stated in a previous email, they exceeded our vacation expectations and they covered any and all of the details to provide our group with an exceptional vacation. The boat was amazing, Umberto is a great captain and Judith provided us with consistent 5 Star meals each day with amazing presentations that were absolutely delicious. Judith is very skillful to accomplish this in a small kitchen on a boat. I think that I speak for everyone to say that they provided us with the ultimate vacation experience.

We had a wonderful week. We’ve been looking forward to this trip for 10 years to celebrate my 50th in the BVI’s. On my 40th birthday my wife asked what are you going to do for your 50th I said I want to celebrate in the BVI’s. You all made my trip a dream trip, it was the best birthday ever!

You all are the best crew of all! Keep up with me on Instagram and I’ll follow you back!
