The Catalina 30 is a twenty-nine-foot 11-inch long fiberglass sailboat produced by the Catalina Yachts Company in California. It is a sloop-rigged boat with a fixed lead keel. The keel on this boat is a 4' 4" shoal keel designed for areas with low water depth and or sand bars.

Offering more space than a typical 30' boat, this traditionally styled Catalina 30 is extremely popular with cruisers because of its wide and deep hull which creates exceptional volume above and below decks. There are seven full adult berths according to the owners manual -- the present owner says six are very comfortable. The cabin has 6' 4" headroom and large storage areas under the settees, in the three cockpit lockers, and in the galley. There are drawers and a locker system opposite the head. Lots and lots of storage. :)

With so much room and so much stability under sail, it's no wonder that in 2001 the Catalina 30 was inducted to the American Sailboat Hall of Fame for being the largest and longest continuous production keel boat in the world, with over 6,500 hulls produced.

There is a large anchor locker in the fore peak. With a huge companionway hatch and large forward hatch, the boat is well ventilated and bright inside. With plenty of seating in the cabin's living area, a kitchen that has everything you could want, and a bathroom complete with shower, this sailboat will not disappoint you.

The first thing you will notice when approaching this yacht is the size. First of all this yacht is 30 feet long - not small by boat standards - and has plenty of room for your next outing.

As you board, you step onto the main deck (standard large cockpit) with U seating and three storage cubbies under the seats. At the back of the boat there is a dive ladder to assist you when climbing out of the water and back onto the boat after a long day of swimming or snorkeling. Catalina is known for its large cockpit area (seats captain, plus six comfortably).

Moving towards the front of the boat you step down three steps and enter the main cabin in the kitchen (galley) area. The galley has a propane stove, microwave, refrigerator and a sink (double sink) perfect for cooking meals on the high seas. Walking through the main cabin (salon) area you enter the dining seating area with an L-shaped couch for your dining pleasure and a three-seater couch on the other side of the seating area. Dining table seats four, plus 3 on the seating couch.

Walk through the dining seating area and look left, and you will see the bathroom (head), complete with shower - and all sea-faring folk know what a luxury a hot shower is to a sailor!

Just past the bathroom you will find yourself in the main sleeping area with V berth shaped bed. This bed is reasonably sized and will sleep two adults comfortably.

As you walk back through the cabin you may notice the storage under the main deck. It is perfect for holding anything you will need on your sailing trip, or you could use this room as a guest room for a couple more people you might bring along on your trip.

Condition Notes:

This 1984 Catalina 30 foot Yacht as shown in this ad has not been professionally cleaned -- new owners generally prefer to personally have items professionally cleaned upon their purchase. This boat has been fresh water moored.

The interior: Please see interior on the pictures and video provided. Shows usual wear -- (see photos and video). A couple of light covers (plastic) are cracked (and a few light bulbs may be burned out), and could be replaced. But they are functional as they. Some of the upholstery needs to be redone. Present owner simply placed a cover over settee cushions -- but the cushions provide excellent comfort as they are.

The exterior: Please see the numerous pictures provided and place your bid on pictures provided. The last bottom job was done in 2004 to the owners knowledge. A full set of cockpit cushions are fairly new (they do not need to be recovered). The helm is a stainless wheel, with large compass -- the make is Edson. The standing rigging is excellent. The running rigging has been replaced as needed - and none needs to be presently replaced. The polishing of the hull is excellent - never been hard aground.

The exterior bright work has been treated with teak oil, and will require future maintenance. The mast is aluminum. The steaming light and mooring light works. The main sail is brand new, less than a year old (fully battened), and powers the boat extremely well. The jib sail is 110 working jib, with roller furling. This boat is ready for blue water sailing.

The mechanical: This boat is driven by the Kubota 28 HP diesel motor. Extremely economical on fuel. The gas tank has been cleaned recently, and the fuel system flushed out. The owner believes the fuel capacity is about 15 gallons. The motor was rebuilt in 2002, has less than 500 hours on it. The transmission was brand new (replaced) at the same time in 2002.

The steering and rudder has been well maintained and shows no major signs of wear. The boat has an emergency tiller handle. Two fire extinguishers are below. Some newer life vests are included. The through hull connections appear to be in top shape.

Included is a navigation table, wind speed sensor, good radio with weather channel option, four batteries (about 1 year old). The bilge is dry and keel hardware is shiny. (has an automatic bilge pump and a manual backup pump). It has two Lewmar self-tailing two speed winches.

Electronics: A picture in this ad shows three items together (Humminging Bird Navigational System, Auto Help 3000). These items are being included with this boat, but the present owner never used them, and does not know if they work - but are being included in case the next owner wants to try them to see. The mounting brackets are in place. The transducer just went out on the depth finder. With today's technology, you can get a much improved GPS and depth system at a lower cost.

The cockpit has tachometer, fuel gauge, volt meter and water temperature gauge (fresh water cooled - double jacket), and hour meter, keyed starter switch and glow plug button, kill switch. There is also an internal buzzer on the key switch to remind you to turn the key off. :)

There are two solar charging panels for battery charging when the boat is at anchor.
