The Catalina 320 is one of the most successful production cruising yachts ever built, renowned for its blend of comfort, practicality and dependable sailing performance. Designed with ease of handling and generous internal volume in mind, it's no surprise these yachts remain so popular worldwide. Nepenthe is a great example, clearly well cared for by her prior and current owner.
On deck, the cockpit is secure and well laid out for easy sailing. At anchor, it transforms into a spacious, inviting entertainment area. The sugar scoop transom allows effortless access to the water or dinghy, enhancing the boat's cruising versatility. Equipped with lazy jacks, stack pack and a furling headsail, sail handling is straightforward and safe, with all controls led aft to the cockpit. The fully battened Dacron mainsail and furling genoa are both in very good condition.
Stepping below, the Catalina 320 impresses with its remarkable sense of space. The well-designed two-cabin, one-head layout offers excellent accommodation for cruising, featuring a generous full-beam aft cabin, a functional U-shaped galley, a dedicated chart table, and a bright, open saloon. The table drops down to form an additional double berth. Warm timber finishes and ample natural light create a welcoming and comfortable interior.
Well maintained throughout her life, Nepenthe benefits from consistent care, including annual antifouling last done in October 2025, and her 27hp Yanmar engine has just received a comprehensive service in April.
For those seeking a proven, comfortable and easy-to-handle cruising yacht with timeless appeal, Nepenthe is an excellent opportunity.
