The Catalina 385 is one of the most thoughtfully designed cruising sailboats on the market, and this "almost brand new" 2024 example is as complete and ready as they come. Built on Catalina's proven hand-laid fibreglass hull with their proprietary StrikeZone™ collision bulkhead and SecureSocket™ chainplate system, she's engineered for serious cruising with the kind of structural integrity that lets you focus on the journey rather than the boat.

What sets this particular Catalina 385 apart from the rest is how effortlessly she can be sailed. The Selden SMF Synchronized Main Furling system with electric Genoa furling means you can deploy or stow both sails at the push of a button, no wrestling with halyards at the mast, no crew required. Pair that with an upgraded 8HP Lewmar bow thruster and a Variprop feathering propeller driven by a 40hp Yanmar diesel, and you have a 40-foot yacht built for real life — easy enough to single-hand or enjoy with the family on a relaxed weekend getaway and capable enough to take offshore with confidence.

On deck, the hardtop dodger with polycarbonate windows and slate Sunbrella bimini create a comfortable, protected cockpit you'll want to spend all day in. The Garmin electronics suite, including a 10" GPSMAP chartplotter, open-array radar, Reactor 40 autopilot, and AIS, means you can ghost through the fog of Georgia Strait or cross to the Islands with genuine confidence. When you drop the hook at the end of the day, the AB inflatable with Torqeedo electric outboard launches from custom stainless steel davits and whisks you ashore in style.

Down below, the warm teak interior with ultra-leather upholstery feels more like a well-appointed cottage than a sailboat cabin. The two-cabin layout sleeps up to six comfortably: the forward island queen and aft cabin handle the regulars, while the convertible settees in the salon handle the extras. The galley is genuinely equipped for cooking underway with dual Isotherm refrigeration, a gimballed Force-10 propane stove with oven, and Corian counters throughout. The Espar hydronic diesel heating system is a standout feature for BC coastal cruising, keeping the cabin warm on cool nights and doubling as an on-demand hot water heater so you're never waiting for a hot shower whether you're at anchor or on the dock. A 2000w Victron inverter/charger and full battery monitoring keep everything running smoothly, and a Samsung 43" Frame TV ensures even the rainiest nights at anchor feel like exactly where you want to be.

Freshly serviced in April 2026, with new bottom paint, zincs, full engine service, hull polish, and VariProp service, she is ready to go the moment you step aboard. The BC coast has no shortage of breathtaking anchorages, hidden inlets, and unforgettable sunsets — and with a boat this capable and this comfortable, the only question is where you're heading first.
