Twin-hull speed. Unmatched stability.

The Catamaran 470 redefines high-performance inflatable watercraft. Its twin-sponson design channels air beneath the hull for reduced drag and maximum lift, while the open-bow architecture enables rapid beach landings and easy boarding. Four distinct styling collections allow customization for racing, rescue, exploration, or premium leisure.

Construction

  • Marine-grade PVC or premium Hypalon tubes
  • Twin-hull catamaran design with keel-less architecture
  • High-pressure drop-stitch air deck (rock-hard rigidity)
  • Open-bow design for beach landings and boarding
  • Reinforced transom for outboard motors
  • Heavy-duty rubbing strakes and armor pads
  • Multiple D-ring attachment points

Styling Collections

  • Racing Sport Edition: Carbon black tubes with racing red cone accents — inspired by Thundercat/Zapcat racing aesthetics
  • Nordic Expedition Edition: Light concrete gray with deep navy bow sponsons — premium adventure tourism look
  • Urban Camo & Safety Edition: Digital camo blend with safety orange accents — for rescue and tactical operations
  • Midnight Apex Edition: Full matte black with stealth accents

Package Includes

  • Catamaran hull with drop-stitch air deck
  • Set of aluminum alloy paddles
  • High-output foot pump
  • Maintenance and repair kit
  • Heavy-duty boat bag
  • Two seat plates

Designed For

  • Surf Rescue & Lifesaving Teams: Open-bow design enables rapid beach deployments and easy casualty boarding. Twin-hull stability at high speed makes it the preferred choice for international surf lifesaving associations.
  • Competitive Racing & Speed Events: Aerodynamic twin-sponson design channels air for reduced friction. Lightweight drop-stitch deck maximizes power-to-weight ratio for blistering top speeds.
  • Marine Exploration & Survey Teams: Stable platform for equipment deployment. 9+1 capacity supports crew plus gear. Multiple D-rings for sensor and instrument mounting.
  • Premium Angling & Guide Services: Keel-less catamaran architecture provides razor-sharp tracking. Stable standing platform for casting. Open bow for easy fish landing.
  • Adventure Tourism Operators: Four distinct styling collections enable fleet customization. High-visibility color options increase guest photo sharing and social media reach.

Not Designed For

  • Traditional Monohull Towing: Catamaran hull design is optimized for its own performance envelope. Not designed for towing other vessels.
  • Whitewater & River Running: Open-bow design and performance hull are not suited for technical river environments.
  • Ultra-Shallow Water Operations: Twin sponsons require minimum depth for clearance. Not suitable for extremely shallow or debris-filled waters.
  • Extended Cruising at Displacement Speeds: The catamaran is designed for performance. It is less fuel-efficient at displacement speeds than monohull alternatives.

Why We Designed It This Way

The Problem

Professional and recreational users need a high-performance inflatable that combines the speed of a racing boat with the stability of a catamaran and the portability of an inflatable, without sacrificing safety.

Our Solution

The twin-sponson design channels air under the hull for reduced friction and maximum lift. The keel-less catamaran architecture uses dual outer hulls as stabilizers for razor-sharp tracking. A high-pressure drop-stitch air deck provides rock-solid rigidity. The open bow enables easy beach landings and boarding.

"The Catamaran 470 is a 470 cm (15'5") high-speed inflatable catamaran with twin-hull design, open bow, and 9+1 person capacity for racing, rescue, and exploration."
