The Catalina 30 Mark III is a fusion of classic design and modern updates. Inspired by the successful C270 and C-320 models, this sailboat showcases notable enhancements in its transom and cockpit areas. With a wider stern section and an expanded boarding platform, the C-30 MKIII offers improved functionality and ample space. The cockpit features wider coamings and observation seats, crafted from low-maintenance materials for added durability.

Below deck, the Catalina 30 Mark III retains its timeless layout with practical improvements. The galley now boasts larger countertop surfaces and increased storage options, including redesigned dish and cup storage rack. Teak cabin surfaces and polished brass fixtures create a cozy interior atmosphere, complemented by added natural light from fixed ports in the hull.

Sail confidently with the Catalina 30 Mark III, featuring enhanced performance with a tall rig, and access to shallower areas with the shoal draft, wing keel configuration. The wide companionway opening adds to the cabin's spacious feel, offering a comfortable retreat after a day on the water. Renowned for its craftsmanship and solid reputation, the Catalina 30 MKIII maintains its value and enjoys a loyal owner base. This Catalina was repowered in 2023 with a Beta 20, 20 hp diesel engine.

Accommodations:

The Catalina 30 offers comfortable accommodations ideal for extended stays on the water. Starting forward, you'll find the V-berth featuring comfy cushions, filler, and ample storage below. Adjacent to the berth, the enclosed head provides privacy and convenience, while storage drawers and a hanging locker offer additional organizational space.

Moving aft, the salon beckons with an L-shaped, dinette to port, which converts to a spacious double berth, and a settee to starboard, providing versatile seating arrangements for dining or relaxing. The galley, located aft to port, is well-equipped for onboard meal preparation, while the navigation station with a large quarter berth lies opposite to starboard.

Highlighted by light-finished teak joinery and ash ceilings, the interior exudes warmth and elegance. Carpeted soles and updated blue Sunbrella cushions add to the comfort and style of the living space. Natural light and ventilation are abundant throughout the cabin, facilitated by two overhead hatches, four opening ports, and seven fixed ports.

The Catalina 30's timeless accommodation layout has stood the test of time, remaining unchanged for 25 years due to its enduring popularity. The wide companionway opening enhances the sense of space within the cabin, further accentuated by the option of a cockpit dodger and bimini for comfort and protection in various weather conditions. Whether you're lounging below deck or enjoying the breeze in the cockpit, the Catalina 30 ensures a welcoming and functional onboard experience.
