Where can I rent a Hobie Cat sailboat in or around Cocoa Beach, FL?
My family and I are traveling to Disney World the last week of October. For our last day before heading back home we’d like to stay on a nearby beach – Cocoa, Melbourne, etc. I’d like a hotel on the beach that rents Hobie Cats. Failing that I’d prefer one where I can walk to a beach stand that rents them. Talking to a couple of hotels has me wondering if people down there have even heard of them!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hobie Cats have become less popular than they were in the ’80′s. I don’t see many around anymore. If you travel 35 minutes south of Cocoa on A1A, the Disney Vero Beach Resort rents them. http://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/guest/resorts/rentalResortLanding?id=VeroBeachResortRentalLandingPage&sourcecode=BEACHYOO&CMP=KNC-DVCVeroRentalsYahoo&HBX_PK=vero+beach+inn&HBX_OU=51&bhcp=1
It’s not actually in Vero, but an upscale community called Orchid Island. north of Vero. The resort is of course, beautiful, right on the ocean. A public surfing beach, Wabasso Beach Park is a short walk away. Sebastian Inlet in just north of the resort. Sorry I don’t know of any in Cocoa.
