Mia Principessa Boat | 47' Catalina 2000

Catalina introduced their legendary 470 in 1998 at the Miami International Boat Show. It was an instant success and several were sold at that show. The 470 was built exclusively at Catalina's Florida plant in Largo. The Catalina 470 construction details included several of the features later utilized on the Catalina 5 Series yachts that were introduced in 2009. The 470 was the second Catalina model to utilize twin helms. It was an evolutionary yacht. The Catalina 470 is a large 47' yacht with a powerful sail plan and luxurious interior. Mia Principessa is a fine example of the Catalina 470. She is well outfitted for cruising and liveaboard. The interior is spacious with two large staterooms with en-suite heads and dedicated showers.
