Premium Construction & Features

Genuine Valmex® German PVC

Unlike standard inflatables, the iCAT285 is built using genuine Valmex® 1100 Denier / 0.9mm PVC — regarded worldwide as one of the finest marine-grade inflatable fabrics available.

Benefits include:

  • Superior UV resistance
  • Excellent air retention

  • Increased comfort
  • Extra protection for the high-pressure air floor
  • Easy-clean finish

Perfect for fishing, diving, and all-day boating comfort.


High-Frequency Thermo-Welded Seams

Built specifically for Australia’s demanding climate, the iCAT285 features advanced High-Frequency Thermo-Welded (HFTW) seams.

Unlike cheaper glued inflatables, thermo-welded seams:

  • Resist extreme heat
  • Prevent seam creep and delamination
  • Provide superior long-term strength
  • Deliver greater reliability and safety

Exceptional Catamaran Stability

The unique catamaran hull design provides outstanding lateral stability and handling.

Whether you’re:

  • Standing to cast a line
  • Boarding from the water
  • Carrying passengers or gear
  • Cruising in choppy conditions

…the iCAT285 remains incredibly stable and confidence inspiring.


Integrated Spray Guard Hull Design

The upward concave tunnel floor helps reduce spray and keeps the ride noticeably drier compared to traditional inflatable designs.

Ideal for:

  • Offshore island runs
  • Coastal use
  • Wind chop
  • Open estuary conditions
