Is my boat recyclable?
Hobie will recycle your boat when you are done with it. To
recycle a Hobie Kayak, it must be cut up so it fits in a box
with the following dimensions: may not exceed 130” for the
length plus girth, and 108” for the height. Ship the boat to:
Hobie Cat 4925 Oceanside Blvd. Oceanside, CA 92056.
It is our hope that no Hobie Kayak will ever end up in
a landfill!
