MERRY-TIME is a 2022 48’ Bali 4.8 sailing catamaran built for easy, open-air living in the Virgin Islands. Sleeps up to 8 in 4 Queen cabins, each with a private ensuite and individual A/C control. Highlights include Bali’s signature indoor-outdoor flow (salon opening wide to the aft cockpit), a spacious flybridge with 360° views, a forward cockpit lounge, and an aft cockpit set up for relaxed dining and sunset cocktails. Large windows keep the interior bright and breezy, while multiple deck zones make it simple to gather—or slip away with a book. Water toys onboard add endless fun on the water. Uncomplicated, comfortable, and island-ready—MERRY-TIME delivers.

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.-The Walkers
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
