Nauti Habit
2023 Bali 4.2 • 42 ft Sailing Catamaran • Costa Rica
Asking $699,999 • US Imported & Duty Paid
The Bali 4.2 has earned its place as one of the most talked-about cruising catamarans of the modern era, and for good reason. Designed by the Catana Group, the 4.2 breaks the mold of the conventional catamaran with its signature full-width "garage door" -- a glass panel that lifts flush into the saloon ceiling to merge the interior and aft cockpit into one seamless, light-filled living space. Add a dedicated forward cockpit with its own bow door, a 23-foot beam that delivers stability and deck space and a layout that genuinely lives like a floating apartment and you begin to understand why the Bali 4.2 draws buyers away from larger, more expensive alternatives. With a 4-foot draft and 42 feet of overall length, she is equally at home threading into shallow anchorages and crossing open water.
Nauti Habit is not a standard example. The current owners took delivery of this 2023 model and immediately set about equipping her for serious offshore cruising, upgrading the stock 30 HP engines to twin Nanni 4.5 50 HP diesels with folding propellers, adding Starlink Maritime In Motion for always-on connectivity, commissioning a full Raymarine Axiom electronics suite with FLIR thermal camera, and installing reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout. The power system was built around a Cummins 9 KW generator with sound shield and a Victron Cerbo GX battery monitor, and a 12V watermaker adds genuine independence at anchor. Fresh bottom paint, buffed and waxed hulls, and regular upkeep round out a vessel that is ready to sail away and go anywhere -- no first-year investment required.
Listing Highlights
Propulsion & Handling
Nauti Habit is powered by twin Nanni 4.5 four-cylinder diesel engines producing 50 HP each -- a significant upgrade over the standard 30 HP factory fit. These engines deliver noticeably better performance and reserve power, particularly when motoring into headwinds or managing currents in tight anchorages. Both sail drives are fitted with upgraded three-blade folding propellers which minimize drag under sail while providing excellent bite under power. The port engine shows approximately 977 hours and the starboard engine approximately 1,015 hours. Cruising speed under power is a comfortable 7 knots. No bow or stern thrusters are fitted; the wide beam and independent twin-engine configuration provide ample low-speed control for confident single- or short-handed docking.
Electronics & Navigation
Electrical & Comfort Systems
The electrical and comfort systems aboard Nauti Habit reflect a serious investment in self-sufficiency. The Cummins 9 KW generator -- one of the most reliable units in its class -- is fitted with a sound shield for near-silent operation, making it practical to run at anchor without disturbing the peace. The Victron Cerbo GX battery monitor provides full system visibility and supports remote monitoring via the VictronConnect app.
Galley & Accommodations
The galley runs along the starboard side of the main saloon, open to the living space and positioned to take full advantage of the garage-door opening to the cockpit. It is well-specified for passage cooking and extended provisioning.
Nauti Habit is configured in the Owner's Version layout, dedicating the entire port hull to the master suite. This stateroom features an island bed accessible from both sides, a couch, a vanity and desk, and a large private bathroom with a separate stand-up shower stall. The starboard hull contains two guest cabins -- one with an island bed and one with a double berth -- each served by its own dedicated head with shower. The three-cabin, three-head arrangement is a meaningful advantage for charter use or cruising with family and friends, eliminating the shared-bathroom compromises common on smaller cats.
Deck & Cockpit
The outdoor living spaces aboard the Bali 4.2 are among the most generous in the 40-foot catamaran class. The aft cockpit opens fully via the signature garage door and flows into the saloon, creating an exceptional al fresco dining and entertaining area. The forward cockpit -- reached through a dedicated bow door -- provides a private, elevated seating space at the bow that is a genuine highlight of the Bali design and a feature buyers consistently comment on.
Sail Plan
As a sailing catamaran, the Bali 4.2 carries a conventional sloop rig suited to short-handed offshore sailing. The mast is stepped on the bridgedeck and supports a fully-battened main and furling headsail. The masthead location also hosts the FLIR M232 camera and downward-facing cameras that support docking and anchoring.
Safety & Anchoring
Summary
Nauti Habit represents a rare opportunity to step aboard a late-model, low-hour Bali 4.2 that has been genuinely prepared for offshore cruising -- not just weekend sailing. Every major system has been upgraded or enhanced: engines, electronics, power, climate, and water. She is offered at $699,999 and is available for immediate showing. Come see her and experience firsthand what sets this boat apart.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
