Catboats were so named because they behave like a cat. They are quick, agile, well-balanced and quiet. She is 34 feet long, has a wide 10 foot beam and a sloop rigged mast 38 feet tall, assuring a steady, smooth, and comfortable ride. We can sail in only 30 inches of water, allowing us to get much closer to coastal attractions than other Hyannis excursion boats. The boat is in excellent condition with beautiful hand varnished teak and mahogany furnishings and secure nonskid painted decks.
Passengers are welcome to move about the boat from cabin-top to cockpit or into the cabin.
All seating areas are comfortably padded and excellent back support is available in most seats. Handicapped passengers are readily accommodated in safety and comfort, however a wheelchair cannot be used on board. Catboats were developed in the early 1800's and used extensively around Cape Cod for all types of coastal fishing and local transport. Working Catboats saw their peak use about a century ago. Catboats are now very popular for cruising and racing.
