Hobie Cat Boats

Hobie Cat is a popular boating manufacturer specializing in the production of sailboats, fishing boats, and kayaks. Hobie Cat, named after owner Hobie Alter, began its operation in the 1960’s and is still running today. Over 100,000 Hobie Cat sailboats are currently on the seas; Some are rotomolded, that is, made with a special plastic and rotated in an oven, and some are fiberglass. While both rotomolded and fiberglass boats are very durable, the rotomolded boats are less expensive than the models made of fiberglass. The four rotomolded models are the Bravo, Island, Getaway, and Wave. There are also four fiberglass models, called the Tiger, Wildcat, Hobie16, and FXOne. When it comes to kayaks, Hobie Cat produces 16 different models, which are all rotomodeled, available in five different colors, and equipped with the Mirage Drive Pedaling System. This particular pedaling system is designed to improve the user experience while boating, making the outing more precise and safe. There are also several different models of fishing boats, all designed with the Mirage Drive Pedaling System: The Outback, Sport, Revolution, Quest, Outfitter, and Pro Angler. To find specific boat pricing, one must contact a local dealer directly; however, the Hobie Company also produces surfboards, marine clothing, and sunglasses, which are available for purchase online.
