Bali 5.4 “Giliss” – Owner’s Version, Fully Equipped for Ocean Cruising
The Bali 5.4 “Giliss” is an owner’s version catamaran, fully equipped for bluewater sailing and long-term liveaboard comfort.
She has had only one private owner, a family of six, and has never been chartered.
After launching in France, Giliss joined the Rallye des Îles du Soleil 2024 and continued across the Atlantic and Pacific to French Polynesia.
With 5 + 1 cabins, including:
Comfort & Living Spaces
The Bali 5.4 is renowned for its exceptional space and open living concept, one of the key reasons the owners chose this model. With four high-school-aged children and parents continuing to work remotely, generous private and shared spaces were essential.
Despite her comfort, Giliss is a capable sailing yacht — she proudly won the catamaran category in all stages of the Rallye des Îles du Soleil.
Highlights
Sailing & Deck Equipment
The owners have set the boat up really nicely for sailing. She features a large sail area with a square-top mainsail and furling solent, complemented by an excellent downwind sail package: a Code 0 on furler and a 222 m² Parasailor with easy snuffer system.
All halyards are top-quality Gottifredi Maffioli, ensuring smooth handling and durability. Electric winches and a Wichard boom brake further enhance ease of sail management and safety.
Power & Energy Management
Designed for self-sufficiency at sea, Giliss’s power system combines efficiency, reliability, and renewable energy.
Together, these systems make Giliss fully energy independent, ideal for long-term cruising.
Mechanical
Giliss is equipped for smooth, confident handling in all conditions. Twin upgraded 80 HP engines with 125 A alternators provide reliable power, complemented by electronic engine controls and a Dockmate Twist joystick docking system that work seamlessly with the bow thruster for effortless maneuvering in tight spaces.
Folding 3-blade propellers enhance sailing performance, and all servicing is fully up to date.

The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
