The Ultimate Turn-Key Cruiser: 2005 Catalina Morgan 440 Deck Saloon

Fully Outfitted & Proven for Long-Term, Off-Grid Cruising — Massive 2026 Upgrades!

Winner of Cruising World’s “Boat of the Year,” the Catalina Morgan 440 masterfully bridges the gap between serious offshore capability and luxurious, light-filled liveaboard comfort. However, this specific vessel stands in a class of its own.

Following an extensive, no-expense-spared refit, this 440 has been transformed into an ultimate off-grid cruising platform. Boasting a brand-new $20,000 Victron electrical system with a massive 1380Ah Lithium bank, new 2026 sails, standing rigging replaced in 2023, and a modernized galley, you can run the A/C directly off the battery bank while anchored in a remote paradise.

Complete with a new 2026 dinghy and outboard, this vessel is completely turn-key and ready to cross oceans or island-hop along Panama’s stunning Carribbean coastline.
