Falcon 22' Catamaran - Factory Tour and Sea Trial! Big Boat Ride in a Small Package!

The US saltwater boat industry has continuously evolved since the 1960s. Runabouts turned into small single engine center consoles which turned into mid-sized, twin engine center consoles which eventually became MONSTER triple, quad and even quintuple engined, 40 plus foot CCs.
In the early 2010s, spurred by the cult-like success of Freeman Boatworks, larger catamarans became the rage. And although smaller builders had been around for years (Caracal, SeaCat, WorldCat, etc.), the big trend became 34' plus Cats with prices that start around 1/2 million and can easily eclipse seven figures.
Enter Falcon Marine - a company that has been in existence for 30 years, but decided only a few years ago to start building their own small catamaran.
This video takes you through build process of a Falcon 22 Offshore hull followed by an on the water walkthrough of the 22 Offshore culminating in a sea trial on a very windy day on the Indian River in Central Florida.
Hope you enjoy!

I am amazed! This guy is the Elon Musk of boats. IMO This guy is amazing with his thought process and is probably making one of the best boats ever built. Kudos to your interview skills. One of the best videos ever! You did a great job! You had to pull teeth with some of your questions and I am sure Doc would be proud! 😁

Best 22' boat by far. Knowing how it made and how it ride? The white cap waves? That is one hell of good engineering boat. Btw, I am into construction by profession/business and I appreciate how Matt do the detailing of its materials and proper used which most people don't mind or neglect to acknowledge.

To be honest in the first few mins I didn't think I would watch the video. But man I was wrong, I could hear that guy talk about the building process all day long. Looks like a high quality build for sure. And that dash, man that was slick.

First off, great video and interview. Motor cats are amazing and so efficient. I know we would love one in the 22' range one day. You and I briefly met yesterday in Providence. I wanted to thank you for being so helpful and friendly in a busy situation. The pic you took means a lot to me and my wife. Sorry to message you about it here, but could not reach you otherwise. Keep making these, and the fishing vids. We love them!

If you’ve shopped around recently, you know a base boat at 130k is an excellent price point… this boat has more room aft of leaning post (where it matters most) than the costa 264 and double the room of the 23’ Tideline… not to mention a top tier build quality… the ability to work with the builder to custom option them out (sky’s the limit) from 130k is nice as well.

I really appreciate that candid feedback. One of my pet peeves when I watch boat see trials is they always dub music over them. I guess there is a reason for that. This is actually the first sea trial I have ever filmed at a good lesson learned for future videos.

Bravo ! Excellent video, very impressed with their build methods and materials, for me the perfect size, and what a smooth ride, 35mph in choppy windy conditions ( perfect conditions for a sea test ). Two questions, it looked like the boat was leaning to the port side ? And can you get trailers to accommodate the Cat Hull ? Love this video, thanks.

You don't want a hardtop on this boat. It has handling issues at certain speeds already. Add more weight to the top and it will be worse.

I don't care what you say, it's downright criminal to charge over $100K for a 22' boat. The website shows it at $145K. It seems like every boat manufacturer tries to outdo everybody else in the absurdity dept. when it comes to pricing boats. SHOW ME the materials list (minus the outboards) because I know there's nowhere near -- in materials and labor -- what you're charging for the boat, especially if you're using a hull mold built by someone else.

Too bad the boat is unsafe to drive at certain speeds. Build quality is excellent but Matt has no intention of working with his customers to address handling issues it has when outfitted a certain way and at certain speeds. Biggest waste of $150K in my lifetime.
