The Powercat Range
Welcome to the Power of Two
An amazing world of stability, comfort of ride, fuel efficiency, manoeuvrability, low wash and space. Powercats are the way to make the most of both leisure and commercial boating.
In sailing everyone knows that more than one hull provides the ultimate in stability and ride.
The same principles have been applied to smaller, powered craft – resulting in the perfect family and working boat! Our Powercats may be the new must-have for the water, but they actually have a great heritage too, designed for the tricky waters of the Isles of Scilly where they have proven very popular.

Powercats in the news
We’ve been pretty busy with some major projects over the last few years including a variety of custom power boats. That means we haven’t built any from the Powercat production range for some time, but the enquiries have never stopped coming in. It’s easy to see why when you read some of the rave reviews they had. It’s time to do a bit of updating and get back on the production of these superb ‘do it all’ boats.

Why use Powercat for commercial purposes?
Benefits of Powercats
Marine-based organisations, commercial fishermen and businesses across the UK are already enjoying the benefits that Powercat provides them.
Benefits of PowercatsFuel economy, safety and flexibility, combined with the ability to adapt Powercat to a wide range of commercial applications has already made it the natural choice for organisations such as the Environment Agency, Cornish fishermen and Gwynedd Council Harbour Authorities.
Having evolved from a working background around the Isles of Scilly, where Powercats operate on a daily basis in some of the most testing sea conditions, commercial Powercat has a proven pedigree and reputation for stability, solidity, ruggedness and above all an ability to get the job done. Such is the flexibility of the commercial Powercat that it can also be produced with a range of cabin versions and deck layout options specifically suited and tailored to your own individual requirements.
Thanks to its shallow draft and low wash, Powercat is equally at home undertaking river work as it is undertaking coastal work; Powercat is suited to any commercial small boat role. Its ability to operate in difficult sea conditions, thanks to its unrivalled sea holding, not only means that you can have added confidence in Powercat when the weather turns nasty, but also means you can operate longer in those conditions without having to turn for home, compared to other craft of a similar size.

Concepts Overview
Boat Sharing is the way to do it
Our super efficient hulls maximize fuel economies, but still, for the time you spend on it owning a boat can add up financially. We believe that co-ownership is the best way to get the most pleasure at least cost and with shared responsibility. It also means that the boat gets more time being used and less time on the mooring or trailer, better for everyone. A number of our boats are very successfully syndicate owned. Contact us if you’d like to find out more about co-ownership.
