34' Catalina 34

1987 Catalina 34 Tall Rig with deep fin keel and Universal M25XP diesel.

The Catalina 34 is a well regarded cruising design with more than 1,400 built. It offers a great combination of comfortable sailing, manageable size, and an unusually spacious interior for a 34 foot boat. Catalina 34s also benefit from a large and active owner community, with extensive knowledge, documentation, parts information, and support available for these boats.

The interior offers over six feet of standing headroom, a private forward V berth, large main salon with opposing settees and dining table, enclosed head, galley, and separate aft cabin. It is a very practical boat for weekends, coastal cruising, or spending extended time aboard.

This is the Tall Rig model with the deep fin keel and is powered by a Universal M25XP 23 hp diesel, regularly maintained and winterized during my ownership.

The boat has been steadily updated in recent years. The bottom was completely redone in Fall 2026 prior to relaunch, and the boat is currently afloat in Jersey City and available for inspection by appointment.

I may consider sensible trades or partial trades, particularly for a quality vehicle or high quality dinghy or tender setup, with cash difference as appropriate.
