Catalina Yachts

When I founded Catalina Yachts in 1970, my goal was not to become the largest sailboat builder in the United States. My goal was, and still is, to build good boats that are a good value for the company's customers. Accomplishing this requires planning, efficient manufacturing (a part of the process I particularly enjoy) and well-designed boats. I b... elieve Catalinas do well in a very competitive market, because they are the result of listening carefully to the company's customers and dealers. When the company designs a new boat, the company dont try to reinvent the wheel each time. The company incorporate proven features with new ideas and a lot of boatowners suggestions. This gives the line continuity, helps the company avoid overly trendy styling, and insures good resale value for Catalina owners. At Catalina the company is especially proud of having the biggest percentage of repeat customers in the industry. The company is all committed to maintaining the high level of customer confidence this represents. The Catalina philosophy means listening to the company's customers and doing the company's best every day. On that promise the Catalina family will continue to grow.Read More
