zapcat racing

Zapcats are highly suited to cope with all sea conditions from flat calm lakes to large surf. The unique fully inflated catamaran design enables the Zapcat to reach extreme speeds and out manoeuvre any other waterborne craft, pulling a 'G' in the tightest of corners !

All of this performance can be handled on and off the water by just two people, as a complete Zapcat including   50 hp engine and accessories weighs just under a 150 kg.

  • A Zapcat has a better power to weight ratio than a Ferrari Testarossa.zapcat
  • Capable of handling extremely rough seas and large surf.
  • A wave large enough to break over the boat will not cause the Zapcat to flood.  As the water runs out the open back.
  • Built for racing - will last & last due to its tough aluminium transom, composite spoiler and inflatable tubes manufactured from the highest quality European P.V.C fabric.
  • Excellent fuel efficiency - over 5 times more fuel efficient than regular powerboats.
  • Easy to tow - at only 270 kgs on its trailer, it will not slow you down.
  • Folds down to less than 2m3 - you can pack a Zapcat away and transport it in the boot of your car.
  • Catamaran design keeps the Zapcat stable when stationary.
  • A Zapcat produces almost no wake, so you will not annoy other water users.
