Only two feet longer than the revised and updated 4.5, but there are scale differences with a forward door that connects the nacelle with the second, rigid cockpit, and aft cabins that benefit from direct access to the aft cockpit. These are all features borrowed from the Bali 5.4. The Bali concept is still very much alive with the new platform connecting the sugarscoops, the large tilt and turn door, sliding bay windows, 615 liters (21.7 cu ft) of cold storage (refrigerator + freezer) and a panoramic relaxation area on the roof. The Bali 4.8 also offers a 6 cabin / 6 heads version never before seen on a catamaran under 50 feet. To be discovered at the International Multihull Show at La Grande Motte.
