This lightly used Catalina 385 was slipped, polished and antifouled in late July 2025 and is offered in outstanding condition, ready to sail away for the coming summer and beyond. You will enjoy the ease and convenience of her all-furling sail plan and her powerful 39HP Yanmar diesel with just 200 hours run since new. Her spacious and luxuriously comfortable 6 berth interior is unmarked and makes this lovely yacht a compelling proposition for a discerning buyer. Launched in 2013 and always properly maintained and serviced, this yacht has been so lightly used you would swear she is very much younger.
She is comprehensively equipped for comfortable day-sailing, weekends away or coastal cruising. Her shoal draft allows easy sailing in shallower areas such as Gippsland Lakes and easy port access all the way up the Aus east coast. Cruising extras include a new inflatable dinghy with electric outboard, a Rainman fresh water maker, a full suite of Raymarine performance electronics with Hybrid Touch plotter and multiple cockpit displays and a chart table repeater, High Definition Radar, X-10Autopilot with linear drive, VHF Radio transceiver and AIS. The 39HP Yanmar shaft drive diesel drive an Autostream 3 blade feathering propeller. Her standing rigging was renewed in 2023 and professionally checked in mid 2025. She has a current Gas compliance certificate. The Spray Dodger, Bimini sunshade and Link sheet, Helm and Hatch covers are all new in 2025.
The supremely comfortable and remarkably spacious interior is absolutely unmarked and features two large and private double berth cabins. The roomy forward owners cabin has an ensuite toilet and separate shower. The large sea-going galley features a gas stove and oven, twin sinks, two fridges and loads of storage while the inviting main cabin features a fold away saloon table to port and the convertible single berth to starboard that transforms into a cozy twin seats with a central table an inviting spot for a coffee or a chat.
