Catalina 356 – Ergonomic Masterpiece
Designed with a strong focus on ergonomics, the Catalina 356’s cockpit offers outstanding comfort and functionality. A raised helm seat provides clear sightlines over the coachroof, while angled bench seats deliver excellent back support and security under sail. Twin backstays with outboard chainplates free up valuable space around the helm and stern pulpit seats, making manoeuvring effortless.
The low-profile binnacle keeps your chartplotter within easy reach without blocking the commanding view. Well-placed winches and control lines ensure smooth sail handling, while wide side decks and an oversized cockpit locker offer generous storage for all your cruising gear.
Features & Comfort
Below deck, the Catalina 356 reflects thoughtful design and solid craftsmanship throughout. The well-appointed galley includes generous storage and a dual-opening refrigerated box, which cleverly expands the countertop space, making meal prep simple, whether under way or at anchor.
The aft cabin benefits from excellent natural light and ventilation, creating a bright, airy retreat for family or guests. In the saloon, convertible twin seats and a folding table offer a flexible, comfortable space to dine or relax, with practical storage tucked throughout. The aft-facing navigation station keeps electronics, instruments, and charts tidy and close at hand.
One of the standout features is the spacious forward master stateroom, which includes a full-size island double berth and abundant built-in storage. Throughout the interior, high-quality timber joinery and thoughtful finishes highlight Catalina’s focus on long-term durability and cruising comfort.
