MASTERMIND II

The Catana Group launched the Bali brand in 2014 with a single idea: replace the trampoline netting between the bows with a solid fibreglass platform and turn it into usable deck space. MASTERMIND is a Bali 5.4, built in France in 2024 and based in Ibiza for the summer season, then St Maarten through winter.

The signature feature is the aft bulkhead. An electric winch lifts the entire back wall of the saloon like a garage door, merging the indoor living space with the cockpit into a single open-air room. Close it in a squall and the saloon seals; open it at anchor and the division between inside and outside disappears. Forward, a second door connects the saloon directly to the foredeck lounge, so guests move bow to stern without stepping outside the main living area.

Five cabins sleep 10 guests. The U-shaped galley has space for two people to prep without crowding each other, and the saloon dining seats 12. A crew of two runs the boat: an owner-captain who has crossed the Atlantic multiple times and knows the Mediterranean well.

SUP, wakeboard, tube, floating mats, snorkel gear, and fishing tackle fill the toy locker. BBQ, water maker, ice maker, gym, and deck shower handle the onboard living.

MASTERMIND sails out of Ibiza from May through October, then crosses to St Maarten for the Caribbean winter, with an owner-captain who has run the Atlantic crossing multiple times.
