Bavarian Bliss Yacht Description
-
Hydraulic garage door creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow:
Innovative hydraulic door opens the cockpit ceiling, perfect for socializing and breezy dining gatherings. -
Popular Bote inflatable dock with floating chairs:
Perfect floating lounge for sunbathing, relaxing, or sharing sunset cocktails over the water. -
Varied water toys including paddleboards, floating mats, and a towable tube:
Great for family fun and active days exploring Caribbean waters together.
The party trick is the wall. BAVARIAN BLISS is a 2023 Bali 4.8 whose aft garage door lifts clean into the ceiling, turning the cockpit and salon into one open, walk‑through living space from bow to stern. If you want that indoor‑outdoor “loft on the water” feel, this is the cat that actually does it, not just talks about it.
Eight people. Four cabins. Zero compromise. Three queen cabins plus one twin, all with private en‑suite bathrooms and individual air‑conditioning controls. Everyone gets real beds, real showers, real privacy. No “who pulled the short straw” cabin diplomacy required.
Top deck = command center for laziness. The flybridge is a shaded lounge with 360° views and a proper dining table, so you can supervise the sailing effort while doing nothing more athletic than lifting a fork or a drink.
Forward lounge: not a net, an actual room. Instead of trampoline mesh, you get a solid foredeck with built‑in seating and dining space. Morning coffee up front, sundowners up top, dinner aft—this boat is basically three apartments welded together.
Floating living room included. The crew deploy a Bote inflatable dock and floating chairs off the swim platform, so the water becomes your fourth “deck.” It’s the closest thing yachting has to a beachfront living room, minus the sand in your shoes.
Bandwidth and calories are handled. Starlink Wi‑Fi keeps your real life connected; the chef’s full‑scale galley and serious menu handle the escapism—think garlic‑butter lobster tails, seared tuna niçoise, and dessert that doesn’t come out of a wrapper.

Reviews
Comment: Bertie and Michelle were two of the nicest, most pleasant, helpful crew that we have had. The only recommendation that I would make would be to speed up the times that we were dining, it often was a little late. With more experience, this could be one of the top crews at TW.
Comment: First - the crew Michelle, Bertie were excellent. Lots of fun, food was great and they are wonderful hosts/people. The food was fresh and very tasty. The boat had an engine go - didn't affect the trip at all.
