About the CAPRI 25 (CATALINA)

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Capri 25 is a popular 24.58 ft masthead sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Catalina Yachts (USA) from 1980–1989. With a displacement of 2950.0 lb and a beam of 9.16 ft, this vessel represents a significant portion of the late-80s trailerable cruising market, though specific hull build counts are not definitively recorded in the source data.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and trailerable weekend warriors who prioritize ease of transport and low maintenance over heavy offshore performance. Its light displacement and fin keel make it ideal for shallow-water exploration and single-handing, provided the owner is diligent about structural maintenance.
Bluewater capability:
With a low displacement of 2950.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.56, the Capri 25 is not recommended for serious bluewater passagemaking due to its light weight and fin keel design. It is better characterized as a coastal cruiser with limited offshore capability.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Catalina 22 and O'Day 23, as they share similar trailerable dimensions and target the same entry-level cruising demographic. The Capri 25 distinguishes itself with a slightly wider beam and a more modern interior layout compared to these contemporaries.
