Unveil Every Shade of Croatia on the Bali 5.8 FARBEN
The deep blue of the Adriatic Sea, the turquoise waters of hidden coves, the lush green trails winding through its islands, and the golden hues of a Dalmatian sunset. Croatia has every color imaginable, and there’s no better way to discover them than aboard the Bali 5.8 luxury crewed catamaran FARBEN.
Some of our charter experts recently stepped aboard this stellar catamaran at the 2026 Croatia Yacht Show (CROYA). The experience only cemented what we already knew: FARBEN is a fantastic way to explore Croatian waters, earning her this week’s coveted title of Boatbookings’ favorite boat. At nearly 18 meters long, with 4 ensuite cabins and a spacious bow area, this Bali 5.8 offers plenty of room to discover Croatia in comfort. It’s an apt choice of name, too; FARBEN means “colors” in German.
A Colorful Welcome Aboard FARBEN

Our chat with the energetic crew reassured us that our guests would be in great hands. The captain was born and raised in Split, while the chef took home the top spot at the 2026 CROYA Chef Competition. Both gave us a real sense of how much they want to share their homeland with guests, whether through the yachting itinerary, hiking and other activities ashore, or the food served at the dinner table.

Our walkthrough revealed a warm and inviting interior, with panoramic windows surrounding the main salon, cozy cabins, and an impressive master suite. But what really won us over was the spacious foredeck, which combines sunbathing, lounging, and dining areas, all finished with warm teak and plush cushions. We could easily imagine whiling away the hours here as FARBEN cruises from one Adriatic destination to the next.
Why FARBEN Is the Yacht to Choose for Croatia
FARBEN is one of those yachts where everything comes together beautifully. With the relaxed luxury of a catamaran and a crew who know and love what they do, she was an easy pick for this week’s favorite.
