After her term with the U.S. Army Corps as an Air-Sea Rescue vessel from 1942 to 1950 she was purchased by a Southern California Industrialist who converted her to an Alaskan Yacht Charter Vessel.  For the past three decades Catita II has exclusively operated in S.E. Alaska and theInside Passage.  She has 5 guest staterooms and 3 guest heads that will handle 11 guests comfortably.  Plus 1 three person Crew Quarters.

Catita II is maintained at the highest level and has received a 5 Star Safety Rating by the United States Coast Guard.  Out of the more than 3,000 vessels inspected by the Alaska Coast Guard only 19 in Southeast Alaska hold this, the highest, safety rating.

Catita II has a Charter Business in place and ready for the new owner to assume with the purchase of Catita II.  All charter gear goes with purchase of vessel.  The current owner will help with the transition for all licenses, permits, etc needed to operate inAlaska.
