Boat Brokers

No matter what size boat fits your lifestyle, at Catalina it is about creating the best possible ownership experience. So if you are looking for a long term relationship with a high quality American brand, it is time to look closer at Catalina.

Catalina builds the largest selection of honest, sturdy boats that hold up to real world conditons, perform well and cost less to maintain. For Catalina owners, this means lots of extra value and enhanced sailing pleasure, with the added bonus of excellent resale value. The Catalina broad range of intelligently designed family-oriented sailboats includes the Sport series, with sprightly 8 foot to 25 foot day sailors, the Cruiser series, capable, roomy mid-sized yachts from 28 foot to 37 foot, and the majestic Ocean series 38 foot to 47 footers for more serious offshore adventures.
Catalina's new designs, coined the Catalina 5 Series, is the new generation of Catalinas, a deliberate move to brand the line to a higher level of performance, finish, engineering achievement and sophistication. There are currently four models in the Catalina 5 Series, the Catalina 445, 385, 355 and 315 cruising yachts that are designed and built in the United States with custom features not found on many of the world's sailboats. The move created mass appeal in the global sailing marketplace.

"When the first two yachts in the 5 Series, the 445 and 355 won awards, we knew that we had designed not just two new models in the line, but a whole new line of yachts with award-winning features that represent Catalina's next generation of fresh, contemporary yachts," reported Gerry Douglas, vice-president and chief designer for Catalina.
In the new 5 Series, there is a bold emphasis on strength; a five-part construction with a dedicated structural grid insures ruggedly-built boats that stand up to the test of time. Design features unique to Catalinas are a watertight StrikeZone; collision bulkhead forward; DeepDefense rudder system for failsafe steering, and a T-Beam MastStep structure, with all the benefits of a deck-stepped mast and the strength of a keel-stepped mast. The SecureSocket mast support/chainplate system facilitates perfect load resolution and watertight integrity. Knitted fabrics create a stronger laminate without additional weight. Catalina's trademark lead keels absorb impact for safety and require less maintenance than other materials.
