Owner Experience Review

Owners and charter crews choose the 4.5fromBALIfor bareboat charters in the Caribbean and Mediterranean and for family-style tropical cruising. The open-space concept—solid foredeck with a forward lounge, the large vertical drop-down salon window, and extensive seating—works especially well for social anchoring and weekend entertaining. Reports note the salon remains comfortable with six to eight people aboard, the full-size refrigerator with icemaker supports onboard life, and the 3-cabin owner’s layout adds a large shower, desk and generous storage (while 4-cabin charter versions feel tighter in the hulls).

On the water, expert tests describe the 4.5as a laid-back cruising machine that surfs down waves easily; above-average bridgedeck clearance helps keep the ride quiet with minimal slamming. Measured motoring numbers were about 8.0 knots at 2,100 rpm and roughly 9.5 knots flat out on fixed props, with folding props an option to cut drag. One delivery post noted it was hard to get the helm perfectly balanced, always needing some rudder angle. Maintenance feedback skews to charter fleet condition: multiple charter reviews mention equipment failures—generators cutting out, air-conditioning not working, fridges failing, leaking toilets, and broken sliding-door stoppers—while expert notes highlight that wiring, plumbing and systems are generally easy to access, and many poor reports trace back to base upkeep rather than a structural flaw.

Pros and Cons

• Open-space layout with a drop-down forward window and solid foredeck lounge excels for social anchoring and day use.
• The salon feels roomy even with 6–8 people, and the full-size fridge with icemaker suits family or tropical cruising.
• Tests report easy wave-surfing, above-average bridgedeck clearance and a quiet ride, with systems that are easy to access for maintenance.
• Charterers have reported repeated equipment failures (generator cut-outs, AC not working, fridges failing, leaking toilets, sliding-door stoppers).
• An owner delivery post noted the helm could not be perfectly balanced and always carried some rudder angle.
• Character is a laid-back cruising machine rather than a high-performance racer.
