2025 BlueCat BlueCat 17

Step aboard the BlueCat 17 and the first thing you notice is how much boat is packed into a small footprint. The twin-hull layout opens up walkable space from bow to stern, making it easy to move around while guests lounge forward or along the transom. The low draft lets you sneak into skinny water for beach hops and sandbar days, while the wide stance keeps everyone comfortable when afternoon chop kicks up. Thoughtful touches—like intuitive helm ergonomics, easy-access storage for gear and coolers, and secure handholds—make the boat feel bigger and more confident than its length suggests. It’s a compact cat that invites you to stay out “just a little longer.”

In this region, you’re often dealing with shifting wind, mixed chop, and crowded waterways, and that’s where the BlueCat 17 shines. The stable catamaran platform keeps the ride composed when wakes and afternoon breezes stack up, while the modest size makes it simple to launch at smaller ramps and slip into tighter marina spaces. Shallow coves, back bays, and inland lakes are all within easy reach thanks to the light draft and efficient hulls. Whether you’re hopping between waterfront hangouts, exploring quiet creeks, or running short coastal stretches, this model balances comfort, maneuverability, and low operating costs in a way that suits local boating habits perfectly.
