After four years we are selling Catalina 25 fin keel sloop with pop-top option. Hull # 5338 is one of around 150 Catalina 25s delivered brand new with a Universal M12 diesel inboard. We have enjoyed sailing Salem Sound and the islands and spending our weekends swimming, fishing, and picnicking. We have purchased a larger cruising sailboat and have to sell her. She is in the water in Historic Salem, Massachusetts.
Boat is in great shape only minor scuffs topsides and a few cosmetic chips here and there. Interior is perfect and honestly looks almost new.
No trailer
6' 6" head room with pop-top up. She sleeps four comfortably with large V berth, oversized quarter berth, and two salon settees. She has all the benefits of a larger boat but with lower marina charges (storage and slips charge by the foot).
Perfect for long cruises or just scooting in and out of the harbor; the inboard provides economical auxiliary power and a margin of safety that one can't get with a gas outboard. No gas fumes. No cranking starter ropes, no cavitation in heavy weather, no forgetting to tilt the motor before you leave. It costs us about $50 a season in fuel and we use her every week! The best part is she is equipped with heavy duty alternator to charge the two newer batteries. Always have power for lights, electronics, air pumps, etc.
Two awesome benefits of owning a Catalina is that just about every part, accessory, or maintenance item is available at https://catalinadirect.com/ and there is a very active owners association at www.catalina-capri-25s.org.
