Boat Overview
The 1988 Catalina Morgan 41’ Classic is a distinguished center-cockpit cruising yacht known for its offshore capability, comfort, and livability. “Music II” was developed after Catalina Yachts acquired Morgan Yachts. The Catalina Morgan 41 Classic refines the legendary Morgan Out Island 41 design, preserving its renowned interior volume while incorporating a more efficient fin keel, skeg-mounted rudder, and numerous design enhancements that significantly improve sailing performance, handling, and maneuverability. This yacht remains one of the most sought-after cruising sailboats in her class, admired for her reliability, versatility, and enduring value.
Design and Performance
Designed by acclaimed naval architect Charles Morgan, the Catalina Morgan 41 Classic is built for long-range cruising. Her solid fiberglass hull, generous displacement, moderate draft, and well-balanced sail plan deliver a comfortable, predictable motion underway, inspiring confidence in various sea conditions. Whether sailing along the coastline, making extended island passages, or preparing for offshore adventures, the Catalina Morgan 41 Classic provides a stable, forgiving platform for both experienced sailors and those transitioning into larger cruising yachts. The center-cockpit configuration enhances visibility and security while creating a spacious private owner's stateroom aft, a signature feature of this design.
Interior Features
Life aboard the Catalina Morgan 41 Classic excels with a remarkably spacious interior for a 41-foot yacht, offering warmth and functionality. The expansive salon provides generous seating for entertaining, while large ports and hatches fill the cabin with natural light and ventilation. The thoughtfully designed galley offers abundant countertop space, practical storage, and a layout that allows comfortable meal preparation whether at anchor or underway. The private aft owner's cabin provides a comfortable retreat with impressive storage, generous berth dimensions, and exceptional privacy, complemented by inviting forward accommodations for guests.
Storage and Capacity
Intelligently designed cabinetry, lockers, hanging storage, and dedicated equipment spaces reflect a yacht built for extended cruising. Large fuel and freshwater capacities support extended time away from marinas, while generous storage throughout accommodates provisions, cruising gear, spare parts, and personal belongings. These qualities make the Catalina Morgan 41 Classic a favorite among couples pursuing the liveaboard lifestyle, seasonal cruisers exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, and adventurers cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean.
Deck and Safety Features
Above deck, wide side decks, sturdy handholds, and a practical cockpit arrangement promote safe movement around the vessel while providing comfortable seating for crew and guests. The sail handling systems are straightforward and efficient, making the yacht manageable for short-handed crews while delivering satisfying performance under sail. Her balanced design allows for comfortable passagemaking, and owners consistently praise her forgiving nature, dependable tracking, and comfortable motion during longer passages.

Owner’s Comments and Boat History
The Catalina Morgan 41 Classic was designed by Charlie Morgan as a capable cruising vessel particularly well suited to the Caribbean. Unlike the earlier Out Island series, the Classic incorporates a modified keel, skeg-hung rudder, and simplified sail plan for improved performance and easier handling.
This 1988 Catalina Morgan 41 Classic is offered for sale in St. Thomas, USVI. Her robust fiberglass construction, stable motion, and protected center cockpit make her a comfortable and reassuring platform for extended cruising.
Powered by a Yanmar 4JHBE 44 HP diesel engine, Music II cruises at approximately 5.5 knots and reaches a maximum speed of approximately 7.8 knots. Her accommodation includes a spacious salon with excellent headroom, (2) private cabins, (2) heads, a large galley, a dedicated engine room, and a walkthrough interior connecting the salon to the aft owner’s suite.
The oversized center cockpit provides a secure and comfortable space for relaxing or entertaining. With substantial freshwater capacity, extensive solar charging, a large battery bank, and a portable watermaker, she has been thoughtfully upgraded for off-grid cruising and extended stays in remote anchorages.
Her current owners grew up in the Caribbean and selected Music II for her combination of stability, safety, comfort, and cruising capability. They have found the center cockpit secure and comfortable, while the spacious salon, cabins, and generous headroom create a practical liveaboard environment.
Her shallow draft allows access to protected anchorages, while her sturdy American construction, substantial keel, and skeg-hung rudder provide stability in larger seas. The owners have also been impressed by her sailing performance, reporting average speeds of approximately 6.4 knots from Guadeloupe to Antigua with a reefed mainsail, 6.2 knots from Martinique to Dominica with a reefed mainsail, and 6.2 knots from Antigua to Nevis under genoa alone.
The large freshwater tanks and Rainman portable watermaker provide extended independence, while the solar array and battery bank comfortably support the refrigerator, freezer, fans, navigation equipment, water pumps, lighting, and normal onboard electrical requirements.
The last several owners have cruised Music II extensively throughout the Caribbean and carefully maintained her along the way. Well equipped for comfortable and independent cruising, she is ready to continue exploring the Caribbean, cross oceans, or serve as a spacious liveaboard home.
