The Catalina 36 is one of the most popular and proven cruising sailboats ever built - and this 1987 model is a fantastic opportunity to own a classic that delivers comfort, performance, and reliability.
Designed by Frank Butler, the Catalina 36 offers an ideal balance between spacious accommodations and solid sailing capability. At 36 feet, she's large enough for extended cruising yet manageable for a couple or small family.
With her wide beam and smart layout, the interior feels remarkably roomy. The salon features generous seating, a large dinette, and abundant natural light. The U-shaped galley provides ample counter space and storage, making meal prep easy whether at anchor or underway. A private forward stateroom and a comfortable aft cabin offer excellent sleeping accommodations, while the roomy head includes a separate shower area - a rare luxury in boats of this size and era.
On deck, the cockpit is spacious and designed for both comfort and functionality. Wide side decks and solid lifelines make moving forward safe and easy. The sail plan delivers dependable performance in a wide range of conditions, making her equally suited for coastal cruising, club racing, or weekend getaways.
Built with Catalina's reputation for durability and value, the 1987 Catalina 36 remains a sought-after model thanks to its timeless design, practical layout, and strong owner community.
Whether you're looking to cruise, live aboard, or simply enjoy comfortable weekends on the water, this Catalina 36 offers exceptional space, performance, and value in a proven cruising platform.
Ready to sail and ready for her next adventure.
