Accommodation
Additional Accommodation Details
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.

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.

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....

Amazing Trip
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!
