42' Catalina 42 mark 1

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 fresh water 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.

Comfort aboard is further enhanced with a Mabru 17,000 BTU marine air conditioning and heating system, hot water tank, portable washing machine, and a SeaWater Pro 40 GPH watermaker.
