This shows pride of ownership and is one of the most proven and successful coastal cruising sailboats ever built in the United States. It sits squarely in the sweet spot of modern cruising design—new enough to feel current, yet simple, well-engineered, and affordable to own and maintain. Known for exceptional interior volume, a true private aft cabin, and Catalina’s legendary ease of ownership, the Catalina 36 remains a favorite among sailors for good reason.
Under sail, she is stable and forgiving, tracking well with a comfortable motion that inspires confidence. The masthead sloop rig is easy to manage, making the boat well suited for single-handing or sailing short-handed, while still delivering respectable performance without feeling overly “twitchy.” This is a boat designed to be enjoyed, not wrestled.
Below decks, the spacious two-cabin layout offers excellent livability. A private aft cabin and forward V-berth provide comfortable accommodations for couples, guests, or extended cruising. The generous salon and thoughtful layout make this Catalina 36 equally appealing as a weekend getaway, a capable Channel Islands cruiser, or a comfortable live aboard.
Overall, the 1998 Catalina 36 is an ideal choice for sailors seeking a capable, comfortable, and confidence-inspiring 36-foot cruising sailboat—perfect for coastal cruising, extended trips, and those stepping up into their first serious cruiser.
