Overview
About this vessel
The Catalina 34 is a successful, all-around design from a hugely successful company. Because Catalina sells so many boats and runs an efficient manufacturing facility, its boats typically sell for less than other brands of comparable size. The relatively large number of used Catalinas on the market mean that a buyer can be quite selective.
In general, satisfaction with the Catalina 34 rates very high. We suspect this is due in large part to the great support that owners get through the Catalina 34 International Association, Catalina, and Catalina Direct, an independent provider of upgrades and parts for older boat
The interior design is European style with the head aft by the companionway. Catalina is very full forward, with a big V-berth cabin and a large dinette and settee forward of the L-shaped galley and nav station.
The starboard-side aft cabin-entered through the galley presents a spacious aft guest cabin or storage space. It has a sizable athwartship berth, and there is a seating area between the berth and the galley.
According to many owners, the interior is the most praised aspect of the C34, with comments like "most room for the money".
