The swiftcat is designed to provide optimal safety, low hull resistance, stability and performance. This is the ideal craft for the serious fisherman, for use as a survey/dive boat or a general work boat.

The hull was designed by Professor Bob van Niekerk of Boatloft, SA, who has a history of fast catamaran design dating back to the late 1960’s. The patented hull design incorporating several unique features allows for reduced risk of broaching in the heaviest following seas and a top speed in excess of 40 knots. This coupled with the safety of six water tight compartments and the comfort of twin engines the Swiftcat can offer a safety factor that no mono-hull can equal.
