39 Catalina 2004 Boat for Sale

Idle Vice Boat | 39' Catalina 2004

If you have been searching for a Catalina 387 that stands apart from the average boat on the market, Idle Vice deserves serious consideration. Purchased new by her current owner and used exclusively in the fresh waters of the Great Lakes, she represents the kind of ownership history that is increasingly difficult to find.

Great Lakes boats also benefit from a relatively short boating season, generally resulting in considerably less annual use and exposure than comparable boats kept in year-round boating climates. Idle Vice is an excellent example of why knowledgeable buyers actively seek out freshwater boats from the Midwest.

She is particularly well equipped, with newer North Sails, a Dutchman mainsail handling system, Raymarine electronics with radar, autopilot, a three-blade feathering propeller, electric windlass, dodger, winter cover, cradle and much more.

The Catalina 387 has long been admired for combining comfortable cruising accommodations with good sailing performance and manageable sail handling. At nearly 40 feet overall with a 12'4" beam and approximately 6'9" of cabin headroom, she offers the space and comfort of a much larger cruising yacht while remaining very practical for a couple or family.
