Morgan

Morgan Yachts was founded in 1965 by Charley E. Morgan and was located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The company's first model was the Morgan 34 built in fiberglass. This was followed by the Morgan 24, 30, 41, and 45. The Morgan 41 designed by Morgan, his most popular design, became a standard in the sailing charter industry for its strength, simplicity, and space belowdecks. In response to customer feedback while operating Morgan Yacht, Morgan designed the shallow draft Morgan Out Island 41, "the most popular boat over 40 feet overall ever built." First built in 1971 the spacious boat became popular with charter companies, becoming "the standard charter boat". The Out Island 33 was designed and first produced in mid-1971 as part of the Morgan Out Island series.

Ownership of Morgan Yacht was sold to Beatrice Foods in 1968. After Morgan left, the company was passed from one corporate entity to another, until it came into the hands of Catalina Yachts in 1984. Catalina continued manufacturing a few models, including the Out Island 41, before the Morgan name was retired.
