Bootscharter in French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) · Bali 5.4 in Antibes — “GALOE” — (2023)

Antibes offers everything for a catamaran week—busy provisioning, a working port with character, and immediate access to the Îles d'Hyères, the Lérins Islands, and countless anchorages along the Côte d'Azur. GALOE, a 2023 Bali 5.4, departs ready to absorb it all. Ten guests spread across five cabins and seven bathrooms means genuine privacy for families or groups; the light sleeper and the early riser never compete for space. Inside, the saloon flows into galley and navigation areas designed for the crew to move seamlessly while guests gather or retreat. The cockpit is built for long days—high backs, ample seating, protection from wind and spray. The twin-hull design is working architecture, not novelty. At anchor, GALOE holds steady even when wind picks up; no rolling, no nervous watching the rode. The 1.2-meter draft reaches shallow bays and beach anchorages that deep-hulled yachts cannot enter. On deck, the trampolines between the hulls become a genuine second living room—sun exposure, views all around, the sensation of sailing at water level. The foredeck stays dry and usable; you are not climbing a mountain to drop anchor. Underway, dual Yarmars push 8 knots reliably, and the furling sails add range and control. With professional crew handling navigation and catering, your week opens without the weight of logistics. GALOE carries enough stability and beam to absorb bad weather; enough access to shallow water to find calmer days. That is the catamaran advantage.
