Their cost-effctiveness makes the Bobkat 8614 & 8615 ideal and reliable ferries for a variety of applications.

The Bobkat 86x fibreglass catamaran range provides optimal stability and low hull resistance. Hydro-supportive Foil Technology assures superior maneuverability and directional stability. The unique tunnel steps create a two phase medium of water and air, dampening vertical accellerations, while the sponson configuration assures banking to the inside during turns. These unique features, combined with correct weight distribution and bow design allows for non-broaching in the heaviest of following seas. Six watertight compartments add to the safety factor that no monohull can equal.
