The Catalina 310 has a spacious interior with large forward and aft cabins and the Salon features port and starboard settees with a mid-cabin table. “Autumn Breeze” is a Very Clean Catalina 310 purchased by her current and third owner in 2017 and has been kept in EXCELLENT condition ever since. She has the 4’4” draft keel which is the favored keel for Florida waters, and it is ready to cruise Southwest Florida and the Keys, all you will need to do is add provisions.
Here are just a few of the Key Features:

Here are some excerpts from Chis Caswells’s review of the Catalina 310 in Boats.com:
“The Catalina 310 is a surprisingly stiff boat. Part of that is due to the all-up weight of 10,300 or 10,700 pounds (depending on the keel), which is a ton or so more than her competitors. The flared topsides allow the boat some initial heel, and then she stiffens up and is a real pleasure to sail.
“With the spade rudder set far aft and the keel starting at the mast, she is sensitive without being twitchy, and the full-bodied shape keeps her tracking nicely both upwind and down.”
Four steps (thoughtfully angled for use while heeled) put you on a teak-and-holly sole amidst an unquestionably yachty interior. Rather than Catalina’s usual ash finish, the 310 has honey-toned teak bulkheads, ceilings and trim. With a complete inner liner that not only provides a glossy white finish but plenty of brightness as well, the 310 is nicely fitted together, with none of the heavy seams of silicone sealant that so many builders use to close awkward gaps. One of the trademarks of Catalina Yachts has always been superlative mold work, both in fit and glossy finish, and this is a fine example of that talent.
From Gerry Douglass, the Designer of Catalina Yachts…“The 310 really is a ‘drinks six, eats four and sleeps two’ boat,”

Universal M-25 three-cylinder diesel, 25 hp @3000 rpm fresh water cooled, and only 788 hours. New 2017 tachometer (old tack is available to show actual hours). Annual service was completed on 5-26-2021 by Elite Diesel Marine
Autumn Breeze has been Exceptionally Maintained by its current owners which you will see when you come to Punta Gorda to see her.
In the summer of 2018, the boat was hit by lightning at the current owner’s dock. The boat was hauled and inspected by a Boat US Surveyor and all the listed electrical equipment was installed by Professional Marine in Punta Gorda. All invoices are available for review. We are not aware of any Hurricane Damage on the vessel.
Manufacturer Provided Description
The Catalina 310 represents an an innovative approach to cruising boat design, as it incorporates the big boat features many couples desire in an easily handled, stable thirty-one-foot hull. The cockpit will comfortably day sail a group and has long seats for napping or sleeping under the stars. Cockpit lockers are numerous and large enough to hold all your cruising gear, including an inflatable.
The side decks are extra wide and secure for easy movement forward and aft. Sail controls and anchoring systems are well thought out for ease of handling. The accommodations are designed primarily for a couple, with a large owner’s cabin forward. A queen size centerline berth, innerspring mattress, and large bank of drawers will appeal to both captain and first mate. Lockers are both port and starboard.
Catalina owners have come to expect excellent light and ventilation, and the Catalina 310 is no exception. The main cabin is plushy upholstered with deep comfortable seating. Forward is a closeable opening in the bulkhead and built-in hardware to allow for TV viewing from either cabin. Also, there is a huge double berth aft for guests. The galley has everything for memorable meals aboard: a two-burner stove with oven, a top and front access refrigerator, deep stainless-steel sink, lots of handy storage, and an available microwave. The head has a separate shower compartment and plenty of storage; all through hulls and a “Y” valve to the holding tank are easily accessible. In fact, all systems are designed to enhance life aboard.
Special features include a twenty-gallon water heater, two 4D deep cycle batteries with an electronic battery charger, high quality fixtures, and easily accessible pumps, valves, and filters.
Catalina Yachts’ chief designer, Gerry Douglas, introduced the Catalina 310 in 1999 and well over three hundred hulls were built through 2008 when the design was discontinued. Unapologetically optimized for a couple, the 310 was a departure from other brands of this size as it didn’t make any promises it couldn’t keep – it’s a very functional boat for two. The construction of the 310 mirrored its predecessor, the thirty-two. The hull is solid fiberglass, the deck is cored with plywood and the cabin top with end-grain balsa. A grid-and-beam system and a liner were then installed. A shoal wing keel was an option and has a draft of 4’4”. A large spade rudder keeps her very maneuverable in tight spaces.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Wing Keel draft: 4.83’/1.47m
