1983 Californian 34

The 1983 Californian 34 is a fiberglass cruiser built to the high standards characteristic of US-made boats from that era. Her hull design features a sharp entry and flat sections aft, delivering solid performance alongside good fuel economy and stability. Twin Caterpillar diesel engines produce 420 horsepower. The boat carries the clean, timeless lines typical of quality Californian construction—elegant detailing that stands apart from many contemporary designs.

The layout offers comfort for cruising. Forward is a V-berth sleeping two adults and a child, with a second cabin aft to port accommodating two. A head with electric toilet and separate shower stall sits to starboard. The main salon features large windows flooding the space with natural light, while the galley includes a two-burner stove, oven, large stainless steel double sink, and front-loading refrigerator.

The deck plan emphasizes safety and usability. Wide side decks make forward movement for anchoring and fishing straightforward, while the spacious aft deck has room for six with deck chairs. A full-width swim step simplifies dinghy boarding, swimming, and fishing access. An enclosed flybridge with seating for four provides year-round driving and entertaining with views of the water.

The boat has been well maintained by its current owners and remains in ready condition.
