MERRY-TIME is a 2022 48’ Bali 4.8 sailing catamaran built for easy, open-air living in the Virgin Islands. Bali’s signature indoor-outdoor flow connects the bright, fully air-conditioned salon and open galley directly to the aft and forward cockpits, creating inviting spaces for relaxed dining, lounging, and sunset cocktails. Above, the spacious flybridge offers comfortable seating and panoramic 360° views, while multiple deck zones make it easy to gather together or find a quiet corner with a book.

Accommodating up to 8 guests, MERRY-TIME offers 4 queen cabins, each with a queen bed measuring approximately 5’ wide by 6’6” long. Every cabin features a private ensuite with an electric head, shower, sink, vanity, and individually controlled A/C. The starboard-side cabins include dry stall showers, while the port-side cabins feature wet showers. Large windows keep the interior bright and connected to the surrounding scenery, while water toys add plenty of fun between anchorages. Uncomplicated, comfortable, and island-ready, MERRY-TIME delivers effortless Caribbean days.

Crew accommodations feature bunks measuring approximately 32” wide by 75” long on the top and 36” wide by 75” long on the bottom. Smoking is not permitted aboard the yacht.

Guest Testimonials

March 2026

The Merry-Time vessel itself was incredible and our numerous off-boat excursions were amazing but the overall experience was defined mostly by the hospitality, professionalism, fun and friendships with Malcolm & Pia. This will be a lifelong memory (and/or maybe the first of many) for our entire family.

Global Rating: 5/5 (Excellent)

Marvelous Trip

It made a huge difference having Adam as a captain. He has worked commercially with the BVI's for more than 5 years. His safety and flexibility were noticeable.
Kate the cook was the best we ever had. She was always anticipating our needs and not once we had to ask her for anything.

Thank you, for the recommendation and selection.

We are at the airport heading back to reality. Great pick with the catamaran. Couldn't have been a better vacation. Mary, Ron and Captain Malcolm where amazing. So many extras even we didn't expect, and we got spoiled with the fantastic food, drinks and desserts. The captain knows everyone, so dinner reservations, tours, and rent cars were done seamless, without even having to turn on our phones. Boat was flawless, and have a water trampolines, sea scooters, paddle boards, kayaks, wakeboarding, etc. They went over the top to make sure we had a fantastic trip. I would very highly recommend them to anyone!

Thank you for helping us get it all together. It was so easy and came together perfect. Looking forward to booking the next one!

Great Time

Our week on Merry -Time was one of the most enjoyable vacations we have ever taken. Beautiful boat, excellent crew, and unforgettable food! I want to do it again! Thanks to Mary, Ron, and Malcolm for a great adventure.

December 2023

We hit a grand slam when we chose the Merry Time Yacht. Ron and Mary were great hosts. The food was incredible. The ship was clean. We were spoiled to the maximum.

This was our first experience on renting a private yacht. Mary and Ron were the absolute best. They took care of our every need. The food Mary cooked was amazing. They were so very kind and went overboard (literally) to accommodate us. I highly, highly recommend taking a trip on Merry-Time....

- The Butterfields

Amazing Trip

It's not possible to overstate how amazing this trip was, and it was absolutely due to the way that Ron and Mary ran their ship and the expertise of the 2 captains we had (Malcom, Jeremy). We sailed for 7 days with them in the BVI, and while the locale was of course amazing, the 'experience' was due to the hospitality and tireless service from the crew. We came on as guests and left as good friends.....what more can you say? :)
Trip of a lifetime. My wife and I have already been scheming how to get our family back down here to do the Merrytime again.
Thank you, Ron, Mary, Malcom and Jeremy. You made this trip!

-The Wright Family
