Compact size. Serious stability.
The Rover Marine Battle Cat 8ft is a stable, portable inflatable catamaran for solo anglers, two-person crews, cottage cruising, and yacht-tender duty. Its twin-pontoon design gives you a wider, steadier platform without the storage and trailer demands of a traditional boat.
Free shipping across Canada on orders over $100 CAD.
The Battle Cat 8ft is the go-anywhere option for boaters who want dependable stability in a compact package. The twin pontoons create a broader stance than a traditional single-hull inflatable, giving you confidence while fishing, diving, checking a mooring, or cruising close to shore.
Pair it with a compatible short-shaft electric or gas outboard for practical, low-fuss power. The rigid drop-stitch floor helps create a more secure platform when you are moving around the boat.
When the day is done, pack it down and store it without a trailer or marina berth. Rinse with fresh water, dry it thoroughly, and keep it protected from direct sunlight between adventures.
8, 10 and 12 ft, with gas and electric power.
