About the
Aspen Carbon Cat

Aspen Carbon Cats are ultra light weight, durable tenders made of carbon fiber with a super-efficient hull design.

MEET THE CARBON CAT

Unique Patent Applied for Design

Designed for Efficiency and a smooth Dry Ride

This hybrid design starts with a deep single-entry forefoot that smoothly cleaves through waves for improved tracking and spray resistance. The hull contour then gently widens aft and at the stern resembles a modified catamaran hull which provides lateral stability and lift. This unique hull form is so special we applied for patents on the design.

From the experienced boat building team at Aspen Power Catamarans comes a new series of light weight rigid tenders that are unlike any boat built before. Carbon Cat’s unique patent in process hull form provides unparalleled stability, better than comparable small catamarans or inflatable RIBs. In addition to stability their light weight carbon fiber construction makes them fast, efficient, easy to handle and extremely durable.

The gunwale is finished with a thick foam bumper made with SeaDek HD for durability and to eliminate scratches and abrasions. The seating area is also cushioned with SeaDek creating a softer surface and better grip.

The amazing Carbon Cat construction and design means that the power requirements should be 35% less than typical inflatables due to the hard bottom and hybrid cat hull shape. During sea trials the T11 reached a top speed of 21mph powered by a single 9.9hp Yamaha outboard. This is an incredible speed to HP ratio superior to other tenders.

Using more moderate horsepower increases fuel efficiency and reduces weight. This makes Carbon Cats and their engines easier to stow onboard and easier to launch and retrieve. Optional transom wheels make beaching the Carbon Cat even simpler.
