Catalina 316 – Sprightly Performer
With core attributes inherited from the award-winning Catalina 446 and 356, the Catalina 316 sets a new benchmark in modern yacht construction. Catalina’s exclusive building methods incorporate advanced safety and performance features, including the watertight StrikeZone™ collision bulkhead, SecureSocket™ mast support system, DeepDefense™ rudder system and T-Beam MastStep™ structure. In short, the Catalina 316 is a serious yacht built for Australian cruising conditions.
Its sleek, low-profile cabin and ergonomically designed cockpit reflect a bold focus on strength and functionality. A warm teak interior creates a welcoming space onboard, whether you’re embarking on your first cruising adventure or downsizing to a more manageable yacht for easy, relaxed sailing.
Features & Comfort
Built with serious cruising in mind, the Catalina 316 features quality deck hardware throughout, including robust portlights, a solid anchor roller, and high-spec stanchions with secure bases. Wide side decks and a spacious foredeck offer confident movement on deck, while stainless steel handrails provide added safety under way.
Below deck, the Catalina 316 reveals the attention to detail cruisers value, with warmly finished teak joinery, ample storage, and a practical, liveable layout. A comfortable V-berth forward (with private head and shower) and a generous double berth aft make it well suited to longer passages and weekend escapes alike.
The U-shaped galley is built for real-world use, featuring a centreline sink, efficient cold storage, and practical workspace for life at sea. Engine access is straightforward, with smart cut-outs for routine checks, a feature our team especially values from time spent offshore.
Whether you’re stepping into yacht ownership or downsizing into a more manageable bluewater-capable cruiser, the Catalina 316 blends solid construction, thoughtful design and true cruising comfort, ideal for Australian waters and beyond.
