No wood used – No rot, no core degradation
Lightweight for fuel efficiency, strong for durability
Excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for saltwater environments
Reduced maintenance costs over the vessel’s lifetime
Extremely stable on water, thanks to catamaran hull and wide beam
This boat was built to work hard—day in, day out—with minimal downtime. It’s a vessel built to pay you back.
