EXPLORE THE SOUND OR EXPERIENCE THE HIGH SEAS ON THE 1989 CATALINA 36!!

A true classic among cruising sailboats, the 1989 Catalina 36 embodies the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and practicality for both seasoned sailors and weekend cruisers. Known for being easily handled by a couple yet roomy enough for extended family adventures, this well-crafted vessel offers a big, inviting cockpit and a spacious, thoughtfully designed interior with two private cabins--making it an ideal choice for coastal cruising or longer offshore passages.

The Catalina 36 is widely regarded as one of the most successful and popular 36-foot sailboats ever produced. With its moderate-displacement hull, solid fiberglass construction, and keel-stepped mast with a straightforward rigging setup, it tracks confidently in a wide variety of sea conditions. The trunk cabin deck layout is classic, functional, and designed by sailors for real-world usability--resulting in safe movement topside and comfortable seating at anchor or underway.

Step inside and you're welcomed by warm varnished teak and a surprisingly generous layout. The aft cabin features a roomy athwartship double berth, a hanging locker, and a storage bureau, while the forward stateroom offers excellent ventilation, ample space, and private access to the head. The U-shaped galley is intelligently laid out with near-centerline sinks for proper drainage underway, a large refrigerated icebox, dedicated dry storage, and a gimbaled stainless steel LPG stove with oven.

The salon offers flexible living space with a convertible dinette or traditional table option to port, and dual seats with a game table to starboard that easily converts to a settee or berth. Every inch of the interior reflects Catalina's commitment to livability, storage, and finish quality, from the multitude of drawers and lockers to the durable upholstery and warm woodwork.

Engineered for simplicity and reliability, this Catalina features stainless steel handrails and painted spars for reduced topside maintenance. Mechanical systems are easily accessible, featuring removable engine enclosures and an aft service compartment that houses key components, including filters and valves. The deck-to-hull joint is robust, bonded, and through-bolted with a protective aluminum rub rail to withstand docking bumps.

Built to American Bureau of Shipping-approved plans and NMMA-certified, the Catalina 36 is not only a joy to sail but also a wise investment in long-term dependability and performance. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or dreaming of a longer coastal cruise, this Catalina 36 is ready to deliver comfort, safety, and unforgettable memories on the water.
