Escape to "Therapy" - Your 1990 Catalina 42 Awaits

Are you feeling a little overworked, stressed, or just in need of a break? 
 
 It's not too late to find a cure! Say hello to "Therapy," a 1990 Catalina 42 that's ready to whisk you away to a world of calm waters and endless adventure. She's not just a boat; she's your next great escape.

 

The Catalina 42 is a legend for a reason. Introduced in 1989, she quickly became the go-to for sailors who wanted a blend of performance and incredible comfort. With 477 hulls launched, this design hit the sweet spot, proving that you don't have to sacrifice easy handling for a luxurious, roomy interior. This particular boat is a prime example of why Catalina has such a loyal following—they listen to what sailors want and deliver beyond expectations.
 

"Therapy" truly stands out, featuring the highly sought-after three-stateroom, two-head layout, which means plenty of private space for you and your crew. But what sets her apart are the extensive updates from 2017, including a brand-new Hydronic heating system to keep you cozy on those brisk NW mornings, fresh mattresses for a great night's sleep, a full suite of updated electronics and much more. This isn't just a boat that's been maintained; she's been genuinely cared for and improved, and her immaculate, odor-free condition shows it.
 

Her long-term owners have ensured she is ready to go. With annual servicing, a diver every four months, and fresh paint every 2-3 years, this boat is ready to sail.

 

Let's make this happen. Buying a boat should be an exciting journey, and I'm here to make the process fast, easy, and even fun. 

 

If you're ready for your dose of "Therapy," don't wait!

 right now to schedule your appointment to see this fabulous boat.
