Comfort & Livability Afloat – Catalina 36 MKII Accommodations

Step aboard the 2000 Catalina 36 MKII and experience why this model is beloved for its thoughtfully designed, spacious, and comfortable accommodations—perfect for weekend getaways, extended cruising, or even living aboard.

Below deck, you'll find a bright, warm interior finished in rich teak cabinetry, molded fiberglass headliner, and generous natural light from multiple hatches and ports. The main salon features a large L-shaped dinette to port, which converts into a double berth, and a long settee to starboard that converts to a table and 2 chairs—creating a social, open space ideal for entertaining or relaxing after a day under sail. The Navigation station to port has a spring fold-away stool for comfort and convenience.

The private forward cabin offers a roomy V-berth with custom cushions, hanging locker, overhead hatch for ventilation, and ample storage. The aft cabin, tucked beneath the cockpit, is a standout feature: a spacious athwartship double berth with an overhead hatch to the cockpit and another hanging locker—providing comfortable and private sleeping quarters for two adults.

The galley is intelligently laid out for safe and convenient meal prep at sea, featuring a two-burner propane stove with oven, deep double stainless steel sink, top-loading refrigerator/freezer, and plentiful counter and storage space.

Next to the forward cabin is a generously sized head with a marine toilet, seperate shower, and vanity sink—accessible from both the salon and forward cabin for added privacy.

Throughout the interior, the Catalina 36 MKII maximizes storage, ventilation, and headroom (6’2”+), creating a bright and airy feel rarely found in 36-foot sailboats.

Whether you’re relaxing at anchor, hosting guests, or sailing away for weeks at a time, the accommodations aboard this Catalina 36 MKII offer the comfort, space, and livability to make every voyage a pleasure.
