2025 Hobie Cat Getaway

Step aboard the Getaway and you immediately notice how forgiving and confidence-building it is. The boom sits higher than on many beach cats, so tacks and jibes feel relaxed instead of athletic, and newer crew won’t be ducking for cover. The forward crossbar and integrated wing seats give you multiple spots to trim the boat, whether you’re flattening it out in a breeze or stretching out for a lazy reach. The simple, color-coded controls make it easy to depower when the gusts arrive, and the open trampoline keeps everything social—no one is stuck “below.” It’s a boat that happily shifts from playful performance to mellow sunset cruising without changing a single piece of gear.

This Getaway shines where warm water, steady breeze, and casual shorelines invite frequent launching and landing. Its shallow draft lets you nose right up to a sandbar or swim area, then shove off again without drama when the wind fills back in. When afternoon chop builds, the wide stance and buoyant hulls keep things dry and predictable for kids and guests who aren’t used to sailing. Light enough to manage on the beach yet sturdy enough to live on a mooring or dock, it slips easily into an active, outdoor lifestyle where quick, spontaneous sails are the norm rather than the exception.
