Introducing Off Piste, a stunning 2023 Catalina 445, which proudly stands as the flagship of Catalina's renowned 5 Series. Celebrated for its excellence, it has earned the prestigious Cruising World Boat of the Year award for Best Full-Size Cruiser, along with accolades from Sail Magazine. Crafted by the esteemed designer Gerry Douglas, the 445 offers a perfect balance of performance and comfort, positioned between the 42 and 47 models, ensuring an exhilarating sailing experience without compromising on the quality and value expected from Catalina. Reviewers consistently praise the spacious twin-helm cockpit for its comfort and security, while the robust hull design guarantees stability and true tracking even in breezy conditions. Cruising World aptly describes the 445 as a genuine, well-constructed cruiser ideal for couples and families alike. Off Piste embodies this legacy as a lightly used and thoughtfully equipped vessel, perfect for coastal cruising, liveaboard comfort, or a new season on the water.
This exceptional yacht has spent its life in the Pacific Northwest, purchased and maintained locally through the Catalina dealer Windworks. Featuring the sought-after three cabin, two head layout, the port cabin conveniently converts into a storage garage. She is now available as her owners transition to a larger powerboat. Complete service records are at hand, and she has recently undergone professional bottom servicing. For buyers who appreciate a documented history, Off Piste’s local ownership and meticulous maintenance speak volumes.
