Hobie Getaway Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the most comfortable boat ever?
A: Yes
Q: Seriously?
A: Really. It's one of the most comfortable, stable, easy to use platforms ever. Yes, it's a little bit big and not for every situation, but, it's just one of the 'cruisiest', relaxed and comfortable boats for time on the water.
Q: Do I get the wings?
A: Absolutely get these, we never sell a boat without one. It's an automatic accessory for the Getaway, everytime.
Q: Is the black forward trampoline standard?
A: Included and standard :)
Q: Can I singlehand?
A: Easily. You'll need a hand putting the mast up and down, but, once that is done, the Getaway is as easily sailed by 6 as it is 1.
Q: Trailer options?
A: We have a custom galvanized trailer that fits the Getaway perfectly. https://westcoastsailing.net/carnai-hobie-16-getaway-trailer/
