1991 Catalina 30 MkII 

A 35 Year Old Yacht That Looks Like She Rolled Out of the Factory Yesterday Every now and then, a yacht appears that makes you rethink what “age” means. This 1991 Catalina 30 MkII is one of those boats. In immaculate condition throughout — and I mean immaculate — she presents better than many yachts a quarter of her age. It’s the kind of vessel that makes you pause, look twice, and wonder how a 35 year old yacht can look this fresh. The answer is simple: meticulous ownership, continuous care, and thoughtful upgrades everywhere you look.

Powered by a 25 HP Bukh diesel with just 1,370 hours, she runs beautifully — a testament to both the engine’s legendary reliability and the owner’s careful stewardship. Hot and cold water is available from either the engine or 240 volt shore power, giving you comfort whether you’re cruising locally or heading off for extended adventures.

Step aboard and the quality hits you immediately. The Catalina 30 MkII is already known for its spacious layout, but this example elevates it. With two cabins and sleeping for seven, she’s a genuine family cruiser with room to breathe. The interior is spotless, fresh, and welcoming — a rare find in yachts of this vintage.

The upgrades list reads like a wish list for anyone searching for a turnkey cruiser:

• Rigging replaced within the past 4 years

• Keel bolts replaced — a major structural reassurance

• All new port lights and windows — bright, clear, and modern

• Jabsco manual toilet

• Large volume hot & cold shower

• Oversized refrigeration with new Waeco DC system — easily set as fridge or freezer

• New Rocna 15 kg anchor — unmatched holding power

• Self furling headsail

• New mainsail, lazy jacks, and mainsail bag

• Dodger, helm bimini, and zip in connector cover

• Gas gimballed 2 burner stove and oven

• All LED lighting

• 2M radio + stereo

• Comprehensive owner’s bag with every manual and receipt imaginable

• Walk through Transom Makes swimming effortless and getting back on board extremely easy for any age.

Power management is exceptional thanks to 225 watts of solar paired with a Victron MPPT regulator, keeping your batteries healthy and your systems running effortlessly. She was last antifouled and out of the water in March 2026, adding yet another layer of confidence for the next owner.

This Catalina isn’t just well kept — she’s extraordinary. The kind of yacht that would suit a new boat buyer at half the price, because she genuinely presents like a much younger vessel. For someone wanting a dependable, comfortable, beautifully maintained cruiser without the cost of buying new, this is the opportunity that rarely comes along.

She is magnificent. She is turnkey. She is ready for her next chapter.
