Imaginative Interior

Catalina designed interior storage spaces that are accessible. Everywhere there is storage below a seating area, there is also front or drawer access, which makes things neat when you’re looking for that last can of soda that you swear should still be aboard.

The master cabin is forward, with an island berth that has an articulating mattress. There is plenty of storage in two cedar-lined lockers and drawers under the berth, plus there is room to stand up and change even with the door closed.

The saloon has 6’5” headroom and features a starboard side U-shaped settee with an optional quad-leaf folding table that accommodates a dinner party or shrinks neatly to provide more room in the cabin. Two seats with a small cocktail table to port can be converted to a straight settee with extra cushions, and this also forms the seat for the aft-facing nav station. The nav station has a Raymarine Axiom 9 MFD installed as well. The nav desk includes a recessed laptop compartment with power ports and a file drawer to store all manuals.

Further aft to port is a roomy head that includes a separate stall shower and a stylish glass vessel sink – just like home. Across from the head is the L-shaped galley with a top and front loading reefer, and two deep sinks on the centerline with a splashguard. There is plenty of counter space. The cabinetry is finished with a clear varnish on light teak and teak veneer surfaces, and the doors are solid wood so small scratches and dings may be sanded out. The sole is Catalina’s proprietary embossed teak and holly-like finish that doesn’t show scratches and has just enough non-skid properties to make it quite safe even when heeling.

The guest cabin is on the starboard side, aft of the galley. It features a double berth, and cedar lined closets. There is also access to the aft portion of the engine compartment in the aft cabin.

Deck and Cockpit

On deck, the Catalina 355 is all about performance, safety, and ease of use. An aluminum toe rail provides options for securing additional hardware and blocks, and the 28” stanchions are higher than on other comparably sized boats.

Catalina is known for their cockpit comfort and the 355 is no disappointment. Angled benches, a folding table, and stern rail seats are standard. The walk-through transom leads to an ample swim step that makes boarding easy. The aft storage locker is in addition to the very large, portside lazarette with gullwing access. The Autopilot display shares the NavPod that holds the Raymarine Axiom 9+ multifunction display. This makes the whole binnacle area lower and lets shorter folks see forward without obstacles. Also nice are the helm seats that are 8” higher than the cockpit benches and help with visibility as well.

Sails and Rigging

A 135% genoa is standard, as is a furling main with vertical battens. The Selden 19/20 fractional rig is deck-stepped over a compression post.

The five-foot-long Garhauer traveler with single-side handling and 6:1 adjuster makes for easy control of the mainsail. Two cabintop winches control most running rigging, while the two primary winches are positioned well aft and within reach of the wheel. There are forward and aft lower shrouds and in-line uppers that allow for tight sheeting angles and good upwind performance. Added safety comes in the form of twin backstays that terminate independently at the masthead. This keeps the boarding area clear and a tall helmsman from ducking the backstay when moving from one side to the other. The decks are wide and clear and there are handy mid-ship cleats on both sides.

Broker's Comments

It isn't often that a boat this clean comes along. "Starry Night" is ready to take you to the Bahamas. All you really need to do is provision her. The current owner has maintained this Catalina 355 at a very high level. These yachts were designed for ease of maintenance for owners. This makes them great boats to go cruising to the remote islands of the Bahamas, and beyond.

This yacht has a very comfortable cockpit, and that's were you spend the majority of your time while cruising. She has tons of storage, too. I especially like the wide weather decks on these boats. It sure makes it easier, and safer to get to and from the bow.

This is a great yacht that's in unbelievable condition. Call 252-725-1506 to schedule a private viewing in Stuart, FL. It'll be love at first sight.
