44 Catalina 2023 Boat for Sale

Off Piste Boat | 44' Catalina 2023

Off Piste is a 2023 Catalina 445, flagship of the builder’s acclaimed 5 Series and winner of Cruising World’s Boat of the Year award for Best Full-Size Cruiser as well as a Sail Magazine Best Boats honor. Designed by longtime Catalina architect Gerry Douglas, the 445 slots between the marque’s 42 and 47, delivering a shade more performance edge without sacrificing the comfort and value Catalina owners have come to expect. Reviewers consistently single out her twin-helm cockpit as exceptionally comfortable and secure, and her stiff, stable hull form lets her stand up to a breeze while tracking true. Cruising World described the 445 simply as an honest, well-built cruiser suited to couples and families alike. Off Piste carries that reputation forward as a lightly used, thoughtfully equipped example ready for coastal cruising, extended liveaboard comfort, or her next season on the water.

This Catalina 445 has spent her entire life close to home — ordered and purchased locally through the Catalina dealer at the time, Windworks and sailed locally in the Pacific Northwest waters she was built for. With the highly desirable three cabin, two head configuration, the port cabin is convertible to a storage garage. She's coming to market only because her owners have stepped up to a large powerboat. Complete service records are available, she's just had her bottom professionally serviced. 

For a Buyer who values a known history over an unknown one, that continuity of local ownership and diligent upkeep speaks for itself.
