Krakatinni is a 1998 Catalina 400, listed exclusively with YOTI on Sydney Harbour.
This is a two-cabin, two-head, twin-wheel 40-footer from one of the most respected names in production cruising yachts. Catalina has long been known for building solid, practical boats designed for comfortable sailing and longevity.
The standout feature of this 2-cabin layout is the full-beam aft owner's cabin. It offers a huge semi-island berth, seating to port and starboard, and private access to the larger of the two heads. It really is on another level than what is usually found on 40-foot boats.
In the salon, there is no shortage of room. A large U-shaped sofa and table occupy the STB side, easily seating up to eight. The table also lowers to create an additional double berth for guests. The wraparound galley is well laid out, offering ample bench space, refrigeration, deep sinks, and a three-burner stove with oven. Long skylights and numerous hatches bring in plenty of natural light and ventilation, while Catalina's traditional timber joinery gives the interior a warm, solid feel. Forward is a second private cabin with a V-berth and its own ensuite.
The cockpit design was ahead of its time, with twin wheels and a walk-through transom that creates a clear path from the swim platform to the companionway. Deck hardware is robust and sensibly arranged, consistent with Catalina's reputation for durable cruising setups. Protection from the elements is provided by a forward dodger and aft bimini over the helm positions.
Krakatinni is powered by a 42HP shaft-drive Westerbeke engine that has been regularly serviced. She was lifted in October 2025 for antifouling and a full polish. The gas system was recently tested, updated, and certified.
A well-proven cruising yacht with a straightforward and comfortable layout, Krakatinni is ready for new adventures and would suit buyers looking to explore local waters or enjoy a capable liveaboard on Sydney Harbour.
