VERY POPULAR family boat from Catalina. This extremely well cared for and well loved 34 is 100% freshwater and in great condition. LOTS of upgrades and improvements (see Upgrade and improvement section). Well known to be comfortable, well sailing, and a great family boat- Tropic Desire’s tall rig and shoal draft wing keel will get you everywhere you want to go safely and in a timely manner. Day cruise or long weekends are a blast and and extended cruise can be had as well. Again- this one is very, very, well cared for.
