We study algebras that are isotopic to Hurwitz algebras. Isomorphism classes of such algebras are shown to correspond to orbits of a certain group action. An explicit, geometrically intutive description of the category of isotopes of Hamilton's quaternions is given. As an application, some known results concerning the classification of finite-dimensional composition algebras are deduced.
