Tomcat 9.7 JOYRIDE

JOYRIDE – 2012 Tomcat 9.7 Catamaran

Discover the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and value aboard JOYRIDE, a 2012 Tomcat 9.7 sailing catamaran that’s ready to whisk you away on your next adventure. Built in Canada for coastal cruising and tropical escapes, this 32-foot catamaran delivers spirited sailing with the stability and shallow draft that cat lovers appreciate. JOYRIDE has been thoughtfully updated and repowered, making her a standout in her class.

In 2023, JOYRIDE received a major upgrade with new twin 9.9hp high-thrust Yamaha outboards, giving her quiet, reliable propulsion with minimal maintenance. She’s also equipped with cold, efficient air conditioning, a true luxury at anchor or dockside, powered through shore power or a portable generator. Whether you're weekending along the coast or anchoring in the islands, this Tomcat offers the comforts of home in a compact, manageable package.

Her layout is both practical and inviting: two private staterooms, a spacious head with a full-size shower, and an airy saloon with panoramic windows. The galley is equipped for real cooking, and the cockpit is ideal for sunset lounging or sailing shorthanded, with all lines led aft and wide side decks for easy movement.

JOYRIDE sails flat, fast, and with confidence—perfect for a couple or small family seeking adventure without the complexity or cost of larger cruising cats. Her 16' beam allows her to fit in a standard marina slip, while her 18-inch draft opens up skinny waters most boats can't reach.

If you're looking for a well-built catamaran with the right upgrades, JOYRIDE checks all the boxes. Cold A/C, new power, and a proven hull—she’s ready when you are.
