Moored at Capo d'Orlando Marina on Sicily's northern coast, Beta is a 2023 Bali 4.2 catamaran built for groups and families seeking space, comfort, and easy sailing across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Her twin 45 HP engines and generous 12.85-metre beam make her responsive in light winds and effortless to manoeuvre—ideal for navigators of varying experience levels. With four cabins accommodating eight guests and four en-suite heads, she offers the privacy and convenience that transforms a week at sea from adventure into genuine relaxation.

A typical week aboard Beta unfolds between hidden anchorages and charming coastal villages. From Capo d'Orlando, you might sail east toward the Aeolian Islands, where volcanic peaks frame turquoise waters and small harbours welcome evening arrivals. The catamaran's shallow draft opens access to shallow bays where others cannot venture. Onboard, the desalination system ensures unlimited fresh water, while the well-appointed galley and generous refrigeration make preparing fresh local seafood a pleasure rather than a compromise. The electric winches and autopilot reduce physical strain, letting you focus on the rhythm of the sea rather than the mechanics of sailing.

Life aboard centres on the expansive cockpit, where comfortable cushions and integrated speakers create a natural gathering space for morning coffee or sunset aperitivos. The swimming platform and tender invite exploration of coves unreachable by larger vessels, while the lazy bag keeps sail handling straightforward even in variable conditions. The voltage converter ensures all your devices stay charged, and the electric toilets operate with the same reliability you'd expect ashore.

Beta suits groups of friends, multi-generational families, or couples seeking a floating home base for discovery. Seven nights allows time to settle into island rhythms, anchor in secluded bays, and savour long lunches ashore before returning to your floating refuge as evening light paints the water gold.
