BALI Catamarans showcases CATSPACE at Venice Boat Show
The CATSPACE gave BALI a hands-on hook at Venice, where Adriaship met visitors at the Arsenale and turned a boat-show stop into a real buying test.
The BALI CATSPACE was the boat BALI Catamarans put in front of visitors at the Venice Boat Show, using the Arsenale as a live proving ground for buyers who wanted to see the layout, the access and the cruising lifestyle in person. Adriaship welcomed guests to the stand during the seventh edition of the show, which ran from May 27 to May 31, 2026.
That setting mattered. The Venice Boat Show is promoted by the City of Venice and organized by Vela spa in collaboration with the Italian Navy, and the Arsenale gave the display a scale that felt closer to Mediterranean sailing culture than to a conventional sales floor. The show spread across a 55,000-square-meter water basin, with hundreds of exhibitors and hundreds of boats on view. Last year’s sixth edition drew more than 30,000 visitors, along with 300 boats and 270 exhibitors, a turnout that explains why brands keep treating Venice as more than a simple stop on the calendar.
For BALI, the message was straightforward: show the CATSPACE, invite private appointments, and let the boat do the selling. That approach fits a market where catamarans are often judged as much by livability as by sailing credentials. Buyers want to step aboard, check how the spaces connect, and decide whether a model fits family cruising, charter plans or longer waterfront escapes before they ever commit to a conversation on paper.
The CATSPACE also fits BALI’s own brand story. BALI says its concept was born in 2014, grew out of Catana’s research and development department, and draws on 40 years of Catana Group experience in catamaran design and manufacturing. BALI describes the CATSPACE as a model focused on innovations applied to cruising, and that makes it a natural entry point for show-floor conversations with visitors looking for a recognizable, accessible multihull rather than a one-off statement boat.
In Venice, that combination gave BALI what a boat-show appearance is supposed to deliver: a familiar model, a historic venue and a real chance to turn curiosity into a face-to-face decision. The Arsenale made the CATSPACE feel less like a display and more like an invitation to imagine Mediterranean cruising as something tangible.
