AccommodationsThe Catalina 445 features one of the most versatile and comfortable interior layouts afloat. She is ideally suited as a live-a-board or for cruising on epic adventures with family and friends.
One of the most innovative and unique features of the interior is the multifunctional third stateroom. This air conditioned area can be easily converted into a double berth or as an upper and lower berth. When not needed for guests, it can be converted to a storage compartment/ workbench with additional access from a hatch in the cockpit.
The warm and inviting Owner’s stateroom is forward with a centerline double berth that has an electric motor to raise the head of the bed up for reading or watching TV. A vanity is located to port and a hanging locker to starboard with additional storage under the berth. The large owner’s ensuite head has a separate stall shower and is well ventilated.
The spacious open main salon has a large U-shaped dining table that folds into itself to form a cocktail table or lowers to form a double berth. The starboard settee can be converted into two side seats with a small table between them which is ideal for playing games or simple dining. Abundant light enters the main salon through the numerous opening hatches and fixed ports in the deck and hull.
The forward facing navigation station is to starboard with the AC and DC electrical panels located outboard. Next aft is the double door guest head with access from either the main salon or aft guest cabin.
The starboard guest stateroom features a double berth angled for easier access and standing headroom.
