Sail Sarasota Bay in Luxury Aboard the 42’ Wanderlust Catamaran

Set sail on Sarasota Bay aboard the 42' Wanderlust, a Bali 4.2 sailing catamaran that offers an unmatched blend of luxury and adventure on Florida’s glittering Gulf Coast. Sarasota, located on Florida’s southwest shoreline, is known for its vibrant coastline, pristine beaches, and abundant marine life. The Wanderlust elevates your experience here, combining spacious design and premium amenities that redefine sailing on these warm, turquoise waters.

What sets Wanderlust apart is its thoughtful layout optimized for relaxation and socializing. Unlike traditional catamarans with netted bows, Wanderlust's front bow offers solid, walk-through access with expansive cushioned seating and lounging areas, keeping you dry while you soak up sun or enjoy dolphin sightings. The patented Bali Door at the stern opens wide to blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor fresh sea air, linking the air-conditioned salon with the cockpit seamlessly. Onboard, a captain and first mate attend to your every need, ensuring a personalized and smooth sailing experience.

This 42-foot vessel comfortably accommodates up to 13 guests for day trips and 8 overnight guests across four private staterooms, each with ensuite bathrooms. Whether you’re charting a three-hour coastal cruise or a multi-day voyage along the Gulf — including stops at destinations like Siesta Key, Venice, or as far north as Tampa — Wanderlust brings exceptional style and comfort to your journey.

Explore Sarasota Bay’s highlights, from iconic sandbars and waterfront mansions to vibrant sunset views that light up the horizon. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in frequent dolphin encounters and views of coastal birds, while the water’s warm temperatures invite spontaneous swims and snorkeling right off the boat. The vessel is outfitted with a modern galley, high-speed WiFi, and a premium audio system for entertainment, plus practical features like a deck shower to rinse off after ocean dips.

Wanderlust is more than a boat — it’s a unique gateway to the Gulf Coast’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Whether celebrating a special occasion, socializing with friends, or simply seeking respite on the water, this catamaran delivers an experience that’s both elegant and adventurous.
