Catalina 30 - a cruising yacht combining space and performance
'Escapade's' current owners have meticulously gone over the yacht to ensure that she offers safe and comfortable cruising. Needless to say she is regularly cruised down the picturesque D'Entrecasteaux Channel, competes for fun in twilight sailing events and the occasional coastal cruise.
The Catalina 30 is a classic 30 foot coastal cruiser that has captured the hearts of many sailors worldwide. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a first-time cruiser, the Catalina 30 offers a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and reliability.
Catalina 30's are renown for their beamy, roomy interior with comfortable accommodation for up to six people. The wide and deep hull design provides exceptional space both above and below decks. When on board 'Escapade' gives one the impression of being on a 36' footer. The net result is an inviting saloon and a spacious well-equipped galley for easy onboard cooking.
Whether you're exploring sheltered bays or venturing out on open waters, 'Escapade' handles beautifully. First built in the 1970s this sailboat has stood the test of time. Catalina 30's have certainly not earnt their reputation as being the most popular 30 footers in the world... By accident!
