Catalina Yachts is one of the world's leading boat manufacturers, having been established in 1969 by its founder, Frank Butler. Initially manufacturing sailboats ranging from eight to 24 feet in size, and distributing through a network of dealerships along the west coast of the United States, the company quickly grew in popularity and opened its production base in Woodland Hills, California, in 1971.
Since then, the company has increased its range of product offerings significantly. It now produces a range of boats for pleasure, racing and commercial use, from 8 to 55 feet in length. It is also the only OEM with its own large-scale parts and supplies division, and a comprehensive aftersales service network.
Catalina Yachts is now regarded as one of the best-known names in the industry. Its boats are renowned for their quality and performance, and the continued growth of the company testifies to its success and reputation.
