A spacious, well-equipped cockpit is comfortable at anchor or underway with canvas and cushions that are in excellent condition. She has been carefully outfitted for cruising with solar, wind, and dinghy davits.

Her clean and spacious interior offers a generous island berth aft, v-berth, and beautiful salon kept comfortable at the dock during any season via reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning.

Accomodations

The Catalina 380 offers excellent interior amenities rivaling those of it's peers over 40' with excellent headroom, two comfortable cabins, and even a dedicated shower stall! 

A classic cabin sole in excellent condition & beautiful joinery bring a rich, classic feel to the interior of this model while white accents and plentiful hatches and portlights allow for abundant light when desired. 

The salon is comfortably appointed with port and starboard settees with a large salon table to port. The salon table may be lowered to provide additional berthing when desired. The navigation station utilizes the starboard side settee for seating, and offers a traditional chart table with storage. 

"Liahona"'s L-shaped galley is to port when entering the companionway, and offers plentiful prep and storage space.

The head is to starboard of the companionway, and may be accessed directly from the aft stateroom as well. The head contains a dedicated shower stall, storage cabinetry, vanity/sink, and Marine Elegance electric head.

The aft cabin in the Catalina 380 is very unique as it offers a large island berth with an Innerspring mattress. Plush seating flanks either side of the bed with two drawers beneath. Two hanging lockers/wardrobes, bedside stowage compartments, and cabinets provide ample storage opportunities in this stateroom. A vanity and mirror cleverly top a removable engine cover in the aft stateroom, providing ease of access to the back of the engine compartment.

The V-berth is quite generous with a large berth, additional storage, hanging locker, and even it's own vanity with a sink.

Aspire coordinates each step. The full inspection cycle for a yacht for sale typically runs 2-4 weeks before final closing.
