Hobie 16 Global edition

The Hobie 16 revolutionized multihull sailing. The Hobie 16 was unleashed on the Southern California beach scene in 1970 and sailing was instantly transformed.

The beach-launched Hobie 16 brought the sport to legions of speed-loving sailors. The catamaran’s lightweight, asymmetrical fiberglass hulls provide lift and its dual-trapeze rig lets you and your crew member harness its sheer power. Now, 45 years and over 100,000 boats later, the Hobie 16 occupies a coveted spot in the Sailboat Hall of Fame and consistently delivers big-grin sailing and world-class racing. Fly a hull and you’ll understand the global obsession! 

   Buying a Hobie isn't just a boat, you're joining a family of sailors, friends and enthusiasts, with weekend campouts, races and team building. Lakes, wide rivers, and ocean sailing are all open to you with a little training and practice! 

The Current Hobie 16 offering includes a black or grey trampoline with Mistral or Zephr Sail patterns. Stock may be limited to reach out to us for more information.
