The Porch is a well maintained example of the popular Catalina 310. With only two owners since new, The Porch is in excellent condition. She has a smaller draft at 4’10”, a simple and reliable Universal diesel, lots of recent upgrades and maintenance, and all systems on board work as they should. If you are interested in a Catalina, come see her in beautiful and convenient Charleston, SC.

Manufacturer’s Info

“We think it’s a radical departure from most small boats. We wanted a small boat with big-boat feeling, like our 38 without all of the extra furniture,” Douglas says (Gerry Douglas, vice president and chief designer at Catalina). “It’s not worth trying to enclose the aft area because that would shorten the salon. This is a ‘drink eight, feed four, sleep two boat,’ with a long cockpit for sleeping outdoors."
