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, dinetteto 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.
