A catamaran type water craft having two tandem pairs of scissors-like folding mechanisms disposed between and pivotally connecting to the opposing upright surfaces of adjacent, juxtaposed hulls. The folding mechanisms comprise two pairs of overlapped cross-linked beams joined about central pivot joints. A pair of cross-linked overlapped forward bow beams can also be provided, arranged so as to rise at an increasing angle to the water craft as the water craft collapses. When the boat is collapsed, the cross-linked beams fold like closing scissors to bring the opposing hulls laterally together, and the bow beams are drawn together, allowing the catamaran to fold to a width that can be transported by a truck or placed in a marina docking slip with the mast in its upright position. A mast is located in the pivot structure of the forward pair of crossed overlapped links.
