The Catalina 42 Mk II earned its reputation as one of the most successful production cruising sailboats ever built by delivering the rare combination of true offshore capability, comfortable liveaboard accommodations, and manageable sailing characteristics. Designed for sailors who want to cruise farther without sacrificing comfort, the 42 Mk II appeals equally to experienced passagemakers, coastal cruisers, and couples planning extended time aboard. Her wide beam, intelligent layout, generous tankage, and balanced sail plan make her ideal for everything from weekend bay sailing to long-range cruising adventures, while the spacious two-cabin interior provides the comfort and storage expected of a much larger yacht.
"Desperado" is a spacious, two-cabin model with exclusive features you won't find on any other 42's on the market. Located at Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina, "Desperado" includes a transferrable slip along with the excellent amenities Safe Harbor has to offer!
