Catalina 309


'Starlight' is a 2007 Catalina 309, listed exclusively for sale with YOTI in Sydney.

A highly successful and proven cruising yacht, 'Starlight' offers an excellent layout and presents in fantastic condition. Catalina yachts are well known for their generous space and volume both on deck and below, and the 309 is a standout model in the range. It delivers an enjoyable sailing experience--clearly shown in our video--while remaining comfortable and practical for day sailing or spending a few nights onboard. Although branded as a 309, the yacht has a length overall of 32.75ft, making her a very manageable size without compromising on interior space.

On deck, the sail plan is simple and easy to handle, featuring an in-mast furling mainsail in good condition and a furling headsail, making getting underway quick and stress-free. The yacht is also equipped with a lightly used asymmetric spinnaker. The cockpit is a real highlight, with full-length cockpit cushions, raised aft seating ideal for entertaining extra guests, and a relaxed, sociable layout.

Down below, 'Starlight' offers a comfortable two-cabin layout with a double berth forward and a double aft to starboard. The saloon and galley spaces are surprisingly generous, creating an inviting area for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The saloon table can be lowered to form an additional berth if you were to get the appropriate legs and cushions for that setup. Refrigeration is excellent for a boat of this size, with a large side-opening Waeco fridge with freezer section, plus an additional cool box.

Power comes from a well-maintained Yanmar 20hp engine with just 471 hours, most recently serviced in January 2026. The yacht has spent the majority of her life on Sydney Harbour and, in current ownership, has been kept on a dock berth, making ongoing maintenance and upkeep straightforward. Most recently having an antifoul and propspeed done in January 2026.

In recent years, 'Starlight' has benefited from numerous upgrades, including a new battery bank, new Jabsco toilet, boom tent, EPIRB, fenders and mooring lines, cockpit table, wheel and instrument covers, new anchor and chain, LED lighting conversion, and other continual improvements.

This is a versatile and well-presented yacht, equally suited to twilight racing, relaxed weekend cruising with family and friends, or simply escaping onto the water. For further information or to arrange an inspection on her marina berth in Sydney Harbour, please contact Ross Price.
