The Catalina 310 represents an innovative approach to cruising boat design. Incorporating the big boat features many couples desire in an easily handled, stable thirty-one-foot hull.

The cockpit will comfortably day sail a group and has long seats for napping or sleeping under the stars. Cockpit lockers are numerous and large enough to hold all your cruising gear, including an inflatable. The side decks are extra wide and secure for easy movement forward and aft. Sail controls and anchoring systems are well thought out for ease of handling.

The accommodations are designed primarily for a couple, with a large owner’s cabin forward. A queen-size centerline berth, innerspring mattress, and large bank of drawers will appeal to both captain and first mate. Lockers are both port and starboard. Catalina owners have come to expect excellent light and ventilation, and the 310 is no exception. The main cabin is plushly upholstered with deep, comfortable seating. Forward is a closable opening in the bulkhead and built-in hardware to allow for TV viewing from either cabin. There is a huge double berth aft for guests. The galley has everything for memorable meals aboard, a two-burner stove with oven, a top and front access refrigerator, a deep stainless steel sink, lots of handy storage, and an available microwave. The head has a separate shower compartment and plenty of storage. All through hulls and a “Y” valve to the holding tank are easily accessible. Systems are designed to enhance life aboard. Special features include a twenty-gallon water heater, two 4D deep cycle batteries with an electronic battery charger, high-quality fixtures, and easily accessible pumps, valves and filters. We listened carefully to sailing couples and built the boat they had been dreaming about.
