The ICAT285 inflatable twin-hull boat is specifically engineered for diverse water activities. Its generously sized pontoons deliver unparalleled stability, ensuring a secure and enjoyable platform for everyone aboard.

Every seam is expertly joined using state-of-the-art High Frequency Thermo-Welding (HFTW), a technique that ensures long-term structural integrity, even in demanding Australian conditions. We proudly use the worlds best PVC material on our boats, sourced from Valmex in Germany.
