Catalina 250 Ideal Short-handed, first boat, family cruiser

ARGO is a beautifully presented 1997 Catalina 250 MKII pocket cruiser. Renowned as a "pocket rocket, " this modern styled yacht packs unbelievable functionality, comfort, and space into a 25-foot package.
ARGO is the absolute ideal starter yacht for single-handed sailing, couples, or a young family looking to explore the water. Thanks to a shallow draft, she is perfectly suited for the Broadwater and Moreton Bay, granting you access to secluded, shallow areas most yachts cannot dream of reaching, and allowing you to utilize tight shore moorings usually reserved only for powerboats. She is also fully capable of coastal cruising in good conditions.
Designed for stress-free, comfortable sailing, the deck setup maximizes both social space and ease of handling:
Shorthanded Sailing: Simple, highly responsive tiller steering makes single-handed or shorthanded operation a breeze.
Reliable, low-hour 10hp 4-stroke Honda outboard.
A large, fully cushioned cockpit featuring two integrated "Champagne seats" built right into the pushpit rail--perfect for relaxing in comfort while under sail or lounging at anchor.
Accommodates up to 6 people with a huge aft double bed tucked under the stern area, a generous double "V" berth in the bow with an overhead hatch for night sky views, and an additional 2 single berths.
Weatherproof Pop-Top Canopy: The sliding cabin hatch raises easily to form a weatherproof pop-top canopy. Complete with zippered and screened windows.
Generous cabin seating with a removable table arrangement that comfortably fits 6 for meals, alongside a dedicated galley sink, 45 litre water tank with electric pump, prep area and designated room for an esky.
Includes a private, fully enclosed toilet (head), sink, and vanity.
Battery with 10W solar panel, VHF radio, EPIRB, Depth sounder, flares, navigation lights, and quality interior lighting throughout the vessel.

ARGO is in excellent condition and has been meticulously maintained.
Happy to take serious expressions of interest out for a sail to experience her performance firsthand.
