2014 Chris-Craft Catalina 29 Sun TenderSold

Step aboard and you immediately feel how thoughtfully this Catalina 29 Sun Tender is laid out for real-world days on the water. The wide walkaround bow makes it easy for guests to move forward without squeezing past each other, and the deep, secure freeboard gives everyone a sense of confidence when the chop picks up. The helm seats convert quickly from stand-up bolsters to comfortable perches for longer runs, and the forward seating transforms into a generous lounging space for sunset cocktails. Storage is plentiful and intelligently placed, with dedicated spots for fenders, lines, and gear so the decks stay uncluttered. The head compartment is surprisingly usable for a 29-footer, turning long days into truly comfortable outings.

For local waters that can shift from flat calm to lumpy in a single afternoon, this Catalina 29’s deep-V hull and outboard configuration are a strong match. She has the range and speed to cover distance efficiently, yet remains maneuverable enough for tight slips, busy channels, and shallow approaches to sandbars or waterfront restaurants. The open bow and versatile cockpit seating work beautifully for mixed crews—anglers at first light, family swimmers by midday, and friends for an evening harbor cruise. With outboards mounted aft, you gain easier maintenance access and more usable cockpit space, making this model especially practical for owners who want a premium day boat that can truly do a bit of everything here.
