The Columbia 33 Caribbean is an American sailboat that was designed by Wirth Munroe as deep water cruiser and first built in 1963.[1][2][3][4]

The Columbia 33 Caribbean is a development of the Arco 33, which was built by Crystaliner, who completed 15 examples in 1959, before selling the molds to Columbia Yachts.[1][4][5]

The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was developed into the Columbia 34 in 1966 with the addition of a new deck adapted from the Columbia 40 design.[1][4][6][7]

The Columbia 33 Caribbean design was built by Columbia Yachts, who built 61 examples between 1963 and 1965, but it is now out of production.[1][4][8]
