A near-new, charter-managed catamaran with the iconic Bali garage door, a spacious owner's suite, and cruising-ready extras.
Broker Glen Hurd of Catamaran Gurus walks us through S/V Divine Destiny, a 2023 Bali 4.4 in owner’s version configuration that presents in virtually brand-new condition. With low engine hours and a professionally managed charter history behind her, she offers a compelling case for a buyer looking to skip the shakedown and step straight into cruising.
Saloon and Galley: The Bali Difference
The tour begins in the saloon, where an L-shaped settee wraps around a generous table with clever bottle storage inside — deep enough for full-size wine and liquor bottles. Opposite, a full stand-up side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice maker anchors the galley, a rare luxury on a 44-foot catamaran (Glen notes Divine Destiny actually measures closer to 45 feet, as Bali tends toward conservative length estimates).
The signature Bali garage-style aft door is the star of the layout. Rolled up into the overhead, it merges the saloon and cockpit into a single indoor-outdoor space. Sliding bay windows on either side add cross-ventilation, and a forward door with an overhead bay window above the galley sinks completes the airflow loop. The galley itself is well thought out: raised counter fiddles to contain stores at sea, twin Eno gas hobs, a matching gas oven, a double sink with double risers, a microwave, and abundant storage for dishes and pantry goods.
The nav station sits to port with a Raymarine chart plotter and VHF, a Victron inverter-charger display, generator controls, and a remote autopilot lanyard that lets the skipper move about the boat while still driving.
Accommodations
Down the starboard companionway, a forward cabin offers island access to a queen berth, big deadlights with a ventilating porthole, and a mechanical fan. The forward starboard head is unusually roomy around the toilet — a small detail that makes a real ergonomic difference — with a separate stall shower. Aft on the same hull, another island-berth cabin and its own bright, spacious head mirror the forward arrangement.
The port hull is given over to the full owner’s suite. A desk or vanity station and small settee greet you at the entry, opening aft into a queen berth with indirect lighting and overhead options. A sliding privacy door with a full-length mirror separates the cabin from the ensuite, which features his-and-hers vanity sinks, dual mirrors, a fold-down laundry surface with a built-in washer, and a two-person shower with a built-in seat.
On Deck and Under Sail
The cockpit’s transom seating is wide and high-backed, and once the Bali door is open it flows seamlessly with the saloon for entertaining. A wide swim platform, a Tohatsu 9.8 dinghy on davits, and shore-power connections handle the practical end. Glen makes a point of opening the engine room to show its immaculate condition: no corrosion on the quadrant steering, a clean Raymarine linear drive, tidy Victron electronics, an Optima battery, and a watermaker on the port side — a genuine long-range cruising asset.
Forward, big sun pads and terrace seating surround a table on the foredeck, with a forward peak set up as a crew or kids’ berth on starboard and a cavernous storage locker to port. The flybridge helm carries Yanmar engine controls, Raymarine electronics, Lewmar winches and rope clutches led aft for single-handed sailing, and a proper bimini. Above the helm sits another sun pad — Glen dubs it the “moon deck” — flanked by solar panels for off-grid capability. The self-tending headsail and centerline mainsheet with port/starboard traveler make tacking almost effortless, an ideal setup for a couple who prefers relaxed passages over athletic sail handling.
