Catalina 42 MK I (1995)

The beautifully updated Catalina offers the perfect balance of proven offshore capability, comfortable liveaboard cruising, and thoughtful modern upgrades. Having spent over two decades in freshwater before being extensively refit for full-time cruising, this vessel stands apart with minimal corrosion, exceptional care, and an impressive list of upgrades completed between 2022 and 2026. From the Bahamas to the Dominican Republic, she has been actively cruised and refined by experienced liveaboard owners who spared no expense preparing her for extended offshore adventures. Below decks, the spacious two-cabin layout delivers remarkable comfort and livability with 6'8" headroom, warm finishes, and excellent storage throughout. The port-side galley is practical and sea friendly, featuring upgraded countertops, an enlarged folding prep area, extensive pantry storage, and a large stainless steel sink with integrated cutting board and drying rack. Refrigeration and freezer systems were upgraded with enhanced insulation and modern monitoring for efficient long-term cruising. Comfort aboard is further enhanced with air conditioning and heating, hot water, laundry capability, and a watermaker. Electronics and power systems have been comprehensively modernized for reliable offshore cruising and comfortable off-grid living. Modern navigation, communication, and electrical systems provide reliable operation and monitoring for extended passages and anchoring. On deck, the boat is configured for safe and efficient shorthanded sailing with upgraded running rigging and a recent rigging inspection completed in May 2026. The cockpit is comfortable and protected with a hard dodger, full enclosure, ample seating, and other thoughtful cruising additions. Ground tackle and safety systems have been carefully planned with redundant anchoring and multiple backup safety measures throughout the vessel. Powered by a reliable diesel engine paired with a fixed three-blade propeller, this Catalina has proven herself as an efficient and capable passagemaker while remaining exceptionally comfortable at anchor or dockside. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a fully outfitted, extensively upgraded cruising yacht that is actively cruising and ready for her next adventure immediately.
