We purchased our
Catana in 2010 after 18 months of
research. We started out planning on
buying a
new boat, but the quality and level of finish was very poor compared to Catanas built 8-10 years ago. Not to mention the extra $100K required to fit out the
boat for
offshore. Our 2001
Catana 471 is just beautiful. African cherry throughout, incredible attention to detail, and every
offshore feature we could ever want. We are very glad we decided to buy used instead of new!
