Built for water. Designed for freedom.
Take on your next adventure with unmatched stability and style. Built with dual pontoons, a reinforced high-pressure floor, and a wide stance, the Battle Cat slices through chop while giving you a stable platform for everything from fishing runs to open-water cruising — then deflates into a bag you can carry one-handed.
The build
- Catamaran geometry: two high-pressure pontoons spread your footprint for confident, tip-resistant stability under way and at rest.
- Drop-stitch floor: inflates to a rigid deck so you can stand, cast, and load gear without flex.
- Marine-grade PVC hull: abrasion- and UV-resistant, with reinforced seams engineered for saltwater and hard use.
- Transom-ready: mount an electric outboard for silent running or a gas outboard for distance.

Battle Cat vs. Battle Boat — which is right for you?
Both pack down and launch in minutes. The difference is the hull.
- Choose the Battle Cat if you want maximum stability — a twin-pontoon platform to stand, fish, and move around on.
- Choose the Battle Boat if you want a classic single-hull dinghy or yacht tender that's easy to row and stow.

A high-volume electric pump gets you from bag to water faster. Pair the Battle Cat with the Cachalot 2 Electric Pump for hands-free inflation.
Frequently asked questions
How stable is the Battle Cat, really?
The twin-pontoon catamaran design spreads your weight across two high-pressure hulls, so the deck stays flat and tip-resistant whether you're standing to cast or moving around at rest — far more stable than a single-hull inflatable of the same length.
Is it suitable for saltwater?
Yes. The Battle Cat is built with marine-grade PVC engineered to resist saltwater, UV exposure, and harsh coastal conditions. Rinse with fresh water after use for maximum life.
How long does it take to inflate?
With a quality electric pump, the Battle Cat is on the water in roughly 5–10 minutes — no ramp, no trailer, no launch fees.
What motor can I run on it?
The Battle Cat is compatible with both electric outboards (such as ePropulsion) and gas outboards. Max horsepower varies by size — contact us with your size and use case and we'll confirm the right setup.
How does it store?
Deflate, roll, and pack it into its carry bag. It fits in a vehicle trunk, RV, or yacht locker between trips — no storage fees, no boat ramps, no heavy towing.

FAQ
Have questions? We’ve answered the most common ones below to help you choose the right boat and get on the water faster.
What's the Difference between the Battle Boat and the Battle Cat?
The Battle Boat features a traditional inflatable hull design, while the Battle Cat uses a catamaran-style dual-pontoon layout for increased stability, better tracking, and a wider deck.
What size should I choose -10ft or 12 ft
Both sizes hold up to 4 people. Choose the 12ft if you want extra space, added weight capacity (up to 1100 lbs), and compatibility with motors up to 15hp. The 10ft is more compact, lightweight, and easier to transport.
Can I use an Electric Motor?
Yes — all Battle Boat and Battle Cat models are compatible with popular electric outboards like ePropulsion and Torqeedo. Just ensure you're using a short shaft (15") motor.
How long doest it take to inflate the boat?
With a high-output pump, each boat can be inflated in about 10–15 minutes. The floor inflates to 10 PSI, while the side pontoons inflate to 3.5 PSI.
Can I deflate and store it easily?
Absolutely. Both boats pack down to fit in most car trunks or boat lockers (approx. 46" x 28–30" x 15"). They're designed for easy transport and storage.
What's the hull made of?
Our inflatables are built from military-grade PVC with reinforced seams and drop-stitch flooring for superior durability and rigidity.
Is the Battle Cat more suitable?
Yes — the catamaran hull gives the Battle Cat better lateral stability, especially in chop or when stepping on/off the boat from the water or dock.
Is this a good tender for a larger Boat
Yes, both models are excellent yacht tenders. They're lightweight, easy to launch, and support outboards for quick trips to shore.
Can I fish or dive from these boats?
Definitely. Both platforms are great for fishing, freediving, or casual scuba. The Battle Cat's wider stance makes it especially good for standing or loading gear.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, all Rover Marine inflatables come with a factory 3-year warranty against manufacturer defects.
- MSMichael S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoBattle Cat.....Supreme!
I purchased the 12 foot Battle Cat from Jaeger shortly after the Toronto Boat Show. Once it arrived to his store, it was immediately shipped to me free of charge. Wanting to see what this looked like, I inflated it in my rec room. What a beast of a boat! Huge tubes, and quality components. She'll get either the 5 horse or the 20! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it performs on the big water!!
CBCanadian Board Company2 months agoThank you so much for the awesome review.
We love hearing that first impression, the Battle Cat really is a beast. You’re going to have an incredible time on the water with it, whether you run the 5 or the 20.
Really appreciate your support, and we’d love to see it out on the water when you get there.
- NNickRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoDesigner
Very thoughtful design and intentional lines. Mission accomplished!!! I personally run the 10 ft Battle Cat with the Torqeedo Travel motor. It’s a perfect combo. I’m having a lot of fun with my wife, 5 year old boy and dog Frank. Cheers to the CBC team .
CBCanadian Board Company7 months agoThanks so much for the amazing review! We love hearing that the Battle Cat is delivering exactly what it was designed for — fun, freedom, and family time on the water. That 10 ft setup with the Torqeedo Travel motor sounds like the dream combo. Give Frank a scratch from the CBC crew — we’re so glad you and the fam are loving it out there! 🚤🇨🇦
