This well-cared-for 1985 Catalina 36 offers the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and proven reliability. Renowned for her large cockpit, spacious interior, solid construction, and ease of handling, the Catalina 36 remains one of the most sought-after cruising sailboats in her class.

Lovingly owned by the same owner for the past 25 years and based out of Victoria, BC, she has been consistently maintained, thoughtfully upgraded, and hauled every two years for bottom paint and sanding, with zincs replaced regularly.

This Catalina 36 is truly turn-key and cruise-ready, with modern systems, upgraded sail handling, abundant power generation, and serious ground tackle for confident coastal cruising. With diesel heat, solar capacity, and a spacious layout, she’s equally suited for extended adventures or comfortable liveaboard life. Included is a new Quicksilver Aluminum bottomed dinghy, with a 9.8hp Tohatsu outboard engine. This is a fast and capable rigid hull inflatable boat which is a great addition to any cruising boat in the Pacific Northwest!
