New to 2001, the Getaway is the big brother to the Wave.
Winner of Sailing World Magazine and Sail Magazine 2002 Boat of the Year!
Similar in concept to the Hobie Wave (the Hobie Wave was designed by Melvin and Morelli), Greg Ketterman of Hobie Cat USA enlarged the design from 13 feet to 16 feet 7 inches, and then slammed on so many features that it has become irresistable to the recreational sailor.
The Hobie Getaway is the "social boat" of Hobie Cat's rotomolded catamaran line. With significantly more hull volume than the ever-popular Hobie Wave, plus huge carrying capacity, the Hobie Getaway comfortably accommodates six adults,
or the whole family for a comfortable evening cruise.
The Hobie Getaway…Serious performance in a very
playful, manageable boat. A lot of boat at a tremendous price, it is
designed to withstand rigorous use and provide years of sailing enjoyment
for the entire family.
