This boat is EXTREMELY CLEAN and WELL CARED FOR by its current owners! This boat REALLY shows proud ownership. If you are looking for a clean Catalina 36, this boat will not disappoint! Ready to launch for 2026 season with a fresh oil change & filter, new bottom paint and zincs

The Catalina 36MkII retains the proven, sea kindly hull of the original 36 but features significant updates: a larger cockpit with a walk-through transom, updated deck layout, new interior design with different cabin ports, and improved accommodations. It offers a spacious layout for a 36-footer, including two private cabins (V-berth forward and aft cabin), a U-shaped galley, saloon, and head-making it comfortable for couples or families on coastal or extended cruises.

It is known as a stable, easy-to-handle cruiser that performs well under sail in a variety of conditions, tracks nicely, and is forgiving for less experienced sailors or short-handed crews. The boat emphasizes comfort, roominess, and practicality over high-performance racing. Overall, the 1996 Catalina 36 MkII remains a well-regarded, solid build quality, and live aboard/cruising versatility.
