Over the past 12 years Nautilus Yacht Management has acquired a consistent reputation for carefully selected beautifully presented yachts designed and equipped specifically for the blue-water cruising and live-aboard life-style. We are privileged to be meeting such beautiful vessels around the world, as well as create lasting connections with their cruising families, both buyers and sellers.
Meeting Sailing Sapphira is a honour and an absolutely pleasure to be able to assist them with finding their exceptional yacht a new home who will take her on some new adventures! She is ready!
The Bali Catamaran, latest creation of the prestigious Catana Group, has only just started to arrive on our shores. I believe that they will take the world by storm and altogether set new standards for multihull designers and builders around the world. We all have our favourite designs, but few boats tick as many boxes as our first encounter with a Bali 4.1, which literally made us feel as if we were on a Superyacht and which we found hard to believe could pack so many extraordinary feature and usable space in a 41' boat.
For this reason, should you wish to have your own brand new Bali 4.1 built for you, you could be waiting for several years, which is why Sapphira, presented in immaculate condition plus with the advantage to have been equipped to the very best standards by her shipwright owner for a safe, luxurious and thoroughly enjoyable life across the oceans as well as when at anchor, she represents a highly enviable option and we doubt that she will last on the market.
No wonder Sapphira's owners, a charming Franco / Australian family - whom you will meet in our fresh-of-reel video feature now available on our Youtube Channel - have told me that they have been asked again and again to sail to Australia just so that they could bring their boat to sit proudly at the Sydney or Century Cove Boatshow. We are not surprised! The yacht is in showcase condition through and through. She is simply breathtaking and will satisfy the most fastidious boat buyer.
We could go on and on about Sapphira and what and exceptional boat she is, but we will let the pictures and 38 mn long speak for themlseves. Catana has outdone themselves with this design. Bravo! This is innovations on innovations that actually work! They are well ahead of the pack.
For more information and to obtain the detailed technical data for Sapphira as well as the Bali Catamarans list of extras ticked at the time of purchase please let us know. We will endeavour to anseer all your questions in as many details as needed.
To finish with is a little quote from Catana themselves: "With the prestige of a famous brand, CATANA, whose reputation grows a little every day, our clients benefit from the fruit of 30 years’ experience in boatbuilding as well as the dynamic skills of our teams.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS:
"SAPPHIRA is an awesome Bali 4.1 Open Space catamaran by Catana Yachts, owner's version 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, spacious, super comfortable and has been fully customised and fully equipped to do long passages (it has so far crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
She sailed beautifully across the oceans and navigated us across the globe without a glitch (expect an average of 6knots in a breeze of 20knots true reeling off the miles all day long with little if any effort on the part of the crew and with the autopilot working like a charm), but this "one of its kind" boat concept really comes alive when living on anchorage or cruising around a group of islands. She offers amazing indoor and outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy the Seabreeze and watching sea creatures from the top deck, the helm station and the supersized front sitting area while staying completely dry.
She has had only one owner and our family has fallen in love with the living spaces and practicality of living aboard Sapphira. She has never been rented out. The boat registered in Australia but no import tax has been paid.
Being a new boat, it has all the bells and whistles that contemporary living offers with ample storage spaces, ample kitchen spaces and workbench for cooking.
The kitchen is an open space and you feel part of the family even when cooking.
Complete privacy in the master bedroom occupying the all portside hull with its own ensuite and desk/lounge area and sliding door with full length mirror.
Many sitting area and sun lounges available throughout the boat included a 8 people sitting/dining indoor area, 10 people sitting/dining outdoor area at the front of the boat (making the all boat a massive usable space).
Helm at the top deck with 2 seats sun lounge next to it to accompany the skipper along. Plus 3 seats lounge area at the back of the boat and 2 seats lounge on the starboard side.
In our own words why we fell in love with the design of our boat...! (Wait there is more!)
.-We fell in love with the open space design when at a boat show in Australia, the ability to have the all back door going up, extend the size of inside/outside space so much!We feel very connected to the water at all time.
-We also love the “guillotine window” out the front in the kitchen, it has many benefits including a great air flow throughout the all boat when it is opened and when the back door is opened, it allows for uninterrupted views of the water when cooking in the kitchen, also allows for passing out all the food and dishes directly to the front lounge/dining area without having to walk with things in your hands around the boat especially when at sea it is very handy!
-We love all the cupboard space in the kitchen, but also in the bedrooms with a total of 4 seperate hanging cupboard for clothes as well as storage and drawers under each bed.
-We love the owner’s version bathroom that is very spacious, massive cupboard space and big counter top sink. Also love the full size walk in shower on both sides of the boat.
-We love the full size fridge/freezer, when you open the fridge all items are at your eyes level making it quick and easy to fetch the item you need from it. We are able to do a full week fruit and vegetables and cold items shopping and store all of it in it as if we lived in a house.
-We love the front lounge/dining area: best place to entertain and have a sundowner for many people, we eat dinner there most evenings passing all the dishes through straight from the kitchen to the dining area thanks to the guillotine window. Our boys also love sleeping out there (massive cushion area at the front) on week ends and watch the stars while they hear the water lapping against the hull!
-We have installed a projecteur and a screen on the boat and we love watching movies on it, it feels like going to the cinema. The boys have had many “movie nights” with their friends, they had up to 9 kids sitting comfortably around the lounge to enjoy the movie!
-For the yogi fan (that’s me the mum in our family), there is plenty of outdoor deck space to do Yoga, but my favorite place is the top deck of the boat next to where the boom is, it has the prefect space for yoga and meditation.
-When the captain is on top deck navigating, the rest of the family love to join right next to him on the double lounge/bed area located right on top deck (It even has several cup holders next to it for coffee or a wine, you can spot every wonders from the seas there like whales, turtles, dolphins, manta rays, sharks etc…
-All the fabric of the lounge and cushions are easily washable with a sponge so stains don’t impregnate into the material.
-There are many power and USB Plugs throughout the boat including all bedrooms, kitchen, lounge area making it easy to charge your computer/iPad/phone etc…
-I also love that in the owners version there is a full sliding door for complete privacy from the rest of the boat and it reveals a full size mirror!
-The davit is super easy to use with the electric winch making pulling the dingy up a breeze and without having to take off the motor each time (we only took the motor off the dingy when we did the Atlantic and Pacific crossing).
-We also got the boat with all its black out curtains making all the bedrooms completely dark for sleeping which is a great advantage especially when you are on watch at night and need to sleep during daylight…
-The space under the sink has 2 pull out bins of 30 litres each making it easy to recycle and bins are tucked away.
-There are 2 speaker systems on the boat, one inside and one outside in the outdoor lounge/dinning area and you can reduce one while increasing the volume in the other one, so you can dictate where you want to listen to music or audiobook either inside or outside or both at same time, it is very handy again when someone needs to sleep in but you want to listen to music outside.
-We also love that we have 2 fresh water toilet with electric flush, there is no back smell from seawater toilet and it is exactly like flushing a toilet inside a house.
There are many other advantages but what we love the most about our boat is that after 2 years of full live aboard with a family of 4 (with 2 active boys), we still feel like we have plenty of spaces to escape to when you want to be on your own for a while between the bedrooms, the inside lounge, front outdoor lounge or top deck lounge as well as the outside back lounge.
It is truly a boat to enjoy living on the water without compromising on comfort.
Our Journey in a quick snippets:
We took possession of Sapphira in La Rochelle in France in May 2019… We then went to Brittany to catch with family and spent the next couple of months making the boat blue water sailing ready and added many options to make it very comfortable to live on for next 2 years.
We then sail around Spain for a few months enjoying summer before crossing to Canary islands and then Cape Verde en route to cross the Atlantic (it took us 14 days to cross and we had good winds the all time making it an enjoyable crossing).
We visited the Caribbean for the following 3 months before getting into lockdown in Bonaire due to Covid… we were lucky enough to be able to swim around the Boat into the most amazing water and fish life in Bonaire.
The boat became our “home on water” for next 3 months (we were not able to sail due to covid)
In May 2020, we were finally allowed to sail towards the Panama Canal and we then crossed the Pacific ocean arriving in The marquesas Islands in French Polynesia after 30 days at sea. The winds were not as strong as our first crossing but thanks to our code D sail (to use on lighter winds) we managed to cruise nicely towards our destination.
We spent the next 7 months discovering all the islands of French Polynesia and it has been a fantastic experience for us even putting our kids to School in Tahiti for a couple of months to experience the language and the Polynesian Culture… But as the end of cyclone season was approaching, it was time for us to continue our journey back home to Australia…
We sailed to Fiji crossing another part of the pacific ocean in 17 days (this time we did not have much wind at all:) oh well at least it was a very smooth ride)
We are cruising around Fiji for next few weeks but our ultimate destination is home to Australia. As much as we would love to continue cruising for ever, we need to head back home and start working again and send the kids back to school, and with a new business about to be acquired we will just not have the time to cruise on Sapphira anymore, so we have decided to sell her so another cruising family can enjoy her the way we did for the past 2 years...
The aim is to find a committed buyer while we are in Fiji, and then either deliver the boat to NZ or Australia depending on where the buyer comes from.
There is also the possibility that the buyer will not altogether be from either of these countries in which case we will fly home and leave the boat in Fiji for her new owner or delivery skipper to take her to her new home."
