KINI'S DREAM is a thoughtfully maintained and extensively upgraded 1984 Catalina 30 Mark I, offering the proven sailing characteristics, comfortable accommodations and practical layout that have made the Catalina 30 one of the most successful cruising sailboats of its generation.

What sets KINI'S DREAM apart is the significant investment made in her systems and structure over recent years. Improvements have included new chainplates, port-side bulkheads, running rigging, steering cables, upgraded mainsheet and jib travelers, a three-blade propeller, shaft coupler, PSS dripless shaft seal, upgraded heat exchanger, extensive exhaust-system work, freshwater and sanitation plumbing, AGM batteries, Raymarine chartplotter and numerous additional deck and mechanical upgrades.

Her cockpit is arranged around an Edson pedestal wheel helm, with sail controls led aft for convenient handling. A Profurl furling headsail system, Harken mainsheet and traveler, self-tailing Lewmar winches, fully battened UK Halsey mainsail and Rolly Tasker furling jib provide a straightforward and capable sailing setup. Below deck, the traditional Catalina layout offers a forward V-berth, enclosed head, convertible dinette, starboard settee, U-shaped galley, navigation station and generous aft berth, creating comfortable accommodations for cruising, weekends aboard or extended stays.


A marine survey completed in August 2025 found KINI'S DREAM to be well constructed and in sound condition, suitable for her intended service in Hawaiian waters. The final survey report listed no recommendations, an especially noteworthy result for a vessel of this vintage.

For a buyer looking for a classic Catalina 30 that has benefited from years of meaningful upgrades rather than deferred maintenance, KINI'S DREAM represents a well-equipped and appealing platform for sailing the Hawaiian Islands and beyond.

Includes a very rare Kewalo Basin Slip!
