This 1984 Catalina 36 is a classic San Diego cruiser with the right recent upgrades for comfortable days on the water. Her navy-blue hull gives her a sharp profile at the dock, and the newer tall dodger offers excellent protection underway with added visibility and headroom in the companionway area.

Below deck, the interior shows well. The updated upholstery brings a fresh, inviting feel to the salon, and the layout remains one of Catalina's most popular designs ; bright, open, and functional for coastal cruising or afternoons at anchor. The engine has been recently rebuilt, offering solid peace of mind for her next owner and making her an easy boat to enjoy right from day one.

While she is light on electronics, she's an ideal platform for someone who wants a straightforward, reliable day cruiser without the clutter or complications of older tech. For a buyer looking for a well-kept Catalina 36, this San Diego-based example deserves a close look.
