ABSTRACT:
A multi-use watercraft wherein one or more bays are formed in the aft portion thereof for respectively docking one or more personal watercraft (PWC). The PWCs are connected to provide propulsion for the multi-use watercraft when so docked in the bay. The multi-use watercraft and the PWCs may be separated and used independently while on the water. The PWCs may also be docked in the bay of the multi-use watercraft while on the water. A scoop proximal to the jet pump nozzle of each PWC is provided to enable the multi-use watercraft to go in the reverse direction. Also provided is the ability to sail the multi-use watercraft. Mast, rudders and dagger board may be installed while on the water thus allowing the multi-use watercraft to use wind for propulsion. The multi-use watercraft may be converted to sailing mode with or without the PWCs being docked. An inboard motor may also power the multi-use watercraft.
