2018 Catalina 425

The 2018 Catalina 425 is a 43.5-foot fiberglass cruising sailboat designed for serious offshore and coastal sailing. Built on a hull that earned recognition from major sailing publications, the boat combines spacious accommodation with practical seamanship features: a plumb bow, cockpit daybed, self-tacking jib, and notably easy engine access. Power comes from a 57-horsepower Yanmar diesel, backed by an auxiliary fuel tank for extended range.

Below decks, the boat sleeps six across three cabins and includes two full heads. The layout prioritizes comfort and functionality for extended cruising. On deck, in-boom furling, electric winches, and an upgraded bow thruster reduce single-handed handling demands. Additional refinements include a custom hard dodger with integrated bimini, carbon fiber wheel steering, and a refrigerator built into the varnished teak cockpit table.
