The Cal 33 has long been admired as one of the finest performance cruisers of her era, combining responsive sailing characteristics with the comfort and practicality needed for extended cruising. Designed with a sleek profile, generous beam, and a warm teak interior, she is equally at home daysailing on the bay or cruising the coast.

This exceptionally well-cared-for 1989 example stands out as a true pride-of-ownership yacht. Lovingly maintained throughout her life, she presents beautifully both above and below decks. The interior is clean, bright, and inviting, with quality teak joinery, comfortable accommodations for family and guests, and the timeless craftsmanship that has made the Cal name so respected among sailors.

Power is provided by the dependable Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine, one of the most highly regarded auxiliary sailboat engines ever built. Reliable, economical, and easy to service, it delivers the confidence to cruise, dock, and motor efficiently when the wind is light. Engine hours are low at only 740.
