Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A Powerful Hobie Getaway

The Hobie Getaway is a potent family catamaran that performs strongly when the wind is up; because of its power under sail, the outing is intended for experienced sailors.

THE RIVER

Pristine Waters and Secluded Sands

The route takes you onto the Noosa River's clear reaches and offers chances to visit sheltered, sandy pockets along the way for a quiet connection with the river environment.

THE MOOD

Short, Focused Sailing Sessions

Offered as a brief but vivid outing, the sail includes opportunities to relax with drinks and snacks while you sample the river and shoreline in a compact 1- or 2-hour format.

What the day feels like

What the Sail Feels Like

This is a short, hands-on sail: meet at the marina, rig and launch the Hobie Getaway, and work the boat along the Noosa River to find calm coves and sandy edges. Expect a lively, responsive catamaran that rewards competent handling and lets small groups enjoy drinks and snacks as they move between sheltered stops.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should think twice.

1
Experienced SailorsBest fit: sailors who can handle a responsive multihull in variable winds will get the most from the Hobie Getaway.
2
Families with Sailing ExperienceThe boat is designated a 'family' catamaran, but because the craft is powerful in strong winds, families are suited when at least one experienced sailor is aboard.
3
Novice SailorsNot ideal: the outing requires sailing experience and is not intended as an introductory lesson for complete beginners.
4
Nature and Short-Trip SeekersA good match for travelers who want a brief, active river outing with opportunities to visit quiet sandy nooks and enjoy light refreshments.
