Used Catalina 310 Sailboats for Sale

The Catalina 310 represents a significant departure from the traditional philosophy of 30-foot production sailboats. While most builders in this size bracket attempt to maximize "berth count" to appeal to families or charter fleets, Catalina Yachts designed the 310 specifically as a "couple’s cruiser." Introduced in the late 1990s and produced until 2008, the vessel prioritizes the comfort of two primary occupants, offering systems and interior volume typically reserved for yachts in the 35-to-40-foot range. Built with a solid fiberglass hull and a balsa-cored deck, the 310 features a generous 11' 6" beam that extends well aft, providing a spacious cockpit and a stable platform for coastal exploration. According to the original Catalina 310 Brochure, the design intent was to provide "big boat" features—such as a large fridge/freezer, a dedicated anchor locker with a windlass, and a permanent double berth—within a footprint that remains easy to single-hand and affordable to slip.
