Yacht Description
Modern Bali, smart layout. HIGH 5 is a 55-foot Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran launched in 2023, set up for easy group living with that signature “Bali garage door” opening the main space into one big indoor-outdoor hangout.
Sleeps eight in queens. The yacht accommodates 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, including a larger master for whoever drew the long straw. No bunk-bed math required.
Water access that works. A hydraulic swim platform makes swim stops and toy launches simple, and the 12ft tender with a 70 HP engine keeps the exploring and beach runs quick and painless.
Toys and connection covered. You have snorkeling gear for kids and adults, two underwater scooters, a subwing, a wakeboard, a tow tube, two stand-up paddleboards, plus a 10 ft floating dock for a proper “park it and float” afternoon. Starlink onboard helps if anyone has to pretend they are still reachable.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
High 5 is a bright, breezy Bali catamaran built around an innovative garage door that opens the whole aft wall to the breeze. The foredeck trades trampolines for a plush lounge, the flybridge adds even more space to relax, and the master cabin feels like a private retreat. Captain Umberto Genovese and Chef Daryl Surtees bring warmth and personality to every charter.

Charter Reviews
We had the pleasure of celebrating our daughter’s 25th birthday during the trip, and Leandri made it extra special with a delicious breakfast and a homemade birthday cake. To top it off, the crew surprised us with a fun karaoke and dance party that evening, creating memories we’ll treasure forever.
Westley and Leandri thoughtfully planned an itinerary that allowed us to visit all the top attractions and fun spots on the different islands, ensuring we never missed a highlight. They balanced adventure with relaxation, taking us to beautiful beaches, lively local hangouts, and scenic viewpoints that showcased the breathtaking beauty of the British Virgin Islands.
Captain Westley and Leandri truly exceeded our expectations, making this experience both relaxing and exciting. We highly recommend the High 5 catamaran for anyone seeking a remarkable vacation on the water in the British Virgin Islands!
Wouldn't go with anyone else!! They were the best!
Sue and John
The boat was so well laid out there was room for eight of us to hang out and never got in each other’s way
It was a very windy week that we went, and Westley took the time to make sure that the weather would not get in our way. He had to do some planning, but kept us safe and brought us to the right place on the right days.
Couldn’t ask for a better crew and boat for us to have such a wonderful vacation.
When we were leaving, we were trying to plan when we could do the same vacation again!!!
They took us to a different island. Every day was not disappointed in anything we had so much fun a lot of laughs, especially with Lee and Wesley.
From the moment of waking up, they had a coffee or juice at the ready for us! Throughout the rest of the day, they made sure our needs were met.
I had recently been diagnosed with a severe food allergy (that isn’t well known) and Leandri was able to shift gears and ensure that I didn’t have to worry about my allergy. This level of care allowed me to focus on the trip and the experience. This meant the world to me, and I’ll forever be grateful! The food was next level, varied, and delicious! While I’m not a big seafood person, she is the reason I now like Tuna!
From the get go, I could tell right away that we were in safe hands with a knowledgeable captain who loves what he does. He was very patient and answered any questions that we had relating to the trip, the boat, the islands, etc. This type of vacation can make or break a trip, depending on the captain, I can say with confidence that we would feel safe and enjoy ourselves if we were to sail across the Pacific Ocean with this crew!
We look forward to booking another trip with the Yacht Vacation Company and without a doubt request that our new friends, Westley and Leandri, be the crew that makes another trip memorable!
We can’t wait to do it again!!!!!
It was my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary and my husband’s 60th birthday so celebrations were constant and they warmly accommodated all of the fun!
These two South African crew members are delightful! My nephew and dad were under the weather and Leandri couldn’t have been more warm in her care of each of them—even providing vitamin C fizzy concoctions to help their recovery.
My healthy parents are in their 80s and Leandri and Westley were so attentive to their comfort—especially their movements on the rocky boat or boarding the dingy.
The ten year old is a bit fussy about her meals and Leandri befriended her on day one and accommodated her “no sauce” and other requests. Her dad said she’s never eaten so much on a trip. Truly all due to Leandri’s attentiveness and kindness.
Westley captains a safe, clean and beautiful boat. He accommodates the guest requests in finding whatever you want—whether it’s quiet remote snorkeling spots or popular places like the Baths. He has you covered.
I can’t say enough about the strength of these two as a pair. They often worked nearly invisibly and let family have uninterrupted time catching up yet they were always present to help us and answer questions.
It was just heaven right here on earth. Daryl and Umbi, I can’t thank you enough for taking me to heaven with your kindness and care. You gave us a week that we will remember forever.
We had the most amazing week with you on High Five! Thank you for taking us to all of the great spots to snorkel, swim and have fun. The food was incredible, and it was a treat to be so cared for with your culinary creations. Brookie for the win! Most of all, thank you for your kindness and warmth. It’s a week to remember. Thank you! Xo
Thank you for such a wonderful trip on High 5. Everything has been first class - the food, the fun, and all the great company. Hot Tamale is the best captain/crew duo in the BVI! We will not forgot you guys.
5 stars for the High 5. Thanks for everything.
We are already thinking of when we get back on board with Tom and Mollie!
You guys are the best!
