Overview
About this vessel
A proven comfortable cruising yacht, 'ANTARES' offers an excellent layout and presents in very good condition. Catalina yachts are well known for their generous space and volume both on deck and below, and the 309 is a standout model in the range. It delivers an enjoyable sailing experience, while remaining comfortable and practical for day sailing or spending a few nights onboard.
On deck, the sail plan is simple and easy to handle, featuring an in-mast furling mainsail in good condition and a furling headsail, making getting underway quick and stress-free. The cockpit is a real highlight, with full-length cockpit cushions, raised aft seating ideal for entertaining extra guests, and a relaxed, sociable layout.
Down below, 'ANTARES' offers a comfortable two-cabin layout with a double berth forward and a double aft cabin to starboard. The saloon and galley spaces are generous, creating an inviting area for cooking, dining, and relaxing.
Power comes from a well-maintained Yanmar 3YM 20 engine. The yacht has been well cared for throughout her life, with ongoing maintenance keeping her in excellent condition. Most recently she received an antifoul and PropSpeed application in July 2026.
The Catalina 309 is a compact American cruising sailboat designed by Gerry Douglas and built by Catalina Yachts from 2005 to 2012. It's an evolution of the legendary Catalina 30, incorporating modern design for better performance, comfort, and ease of handling while retaining the brand's reputation for value and reliability. Aimed at coastal cruising, family weekends, or light racing, it won Cruising World's 2007 Boat of the Year awards for Domestic Boat and Small Cruiser, praised for its balance of speed, spaciousness, and safety. Around 200-300 units were produced, and it's highly regarded on the used market for its low maintenance and strong resale.
This is a versatile and well-presented yacht, equally suited to twilight racing, relaxed weekend cruising with family and friends, or simply escaping onto the water.
