Aerowave WaveRunner 380 Series 3 – 3.8m Inflatable Catamaran
Why Boaties Upgrade From Open-Transom “Portable Cat” Styles
Open-transom cat inflatables are popular for portability and fast drainage. As trips become rougher, heavier, more frequent (or you’re carrying family + fishing gear), many owners start wanting a platform that feels more planted and more predictable in day-to-day coastal boating.
Head-to-Head (Buyer View): Takacat 380 vs WaveRunner 380 Series 3
Both are 3.8m class cat-style inflatables, but they’re often chosen for different reasons. This guide focuses on ownership priorities rather than hard “better/worse” claims.

|---|---|---|
| Core priority | Portability + fast drainage | All-round coastal ownership platform (family + fishing confidence) |
| Stern design | Open-transom layouts are common in the category | Smaller grilled stern opening for drainage + more “contained” feel |
| Underfoot feel | Varies by floor type and inflation habits | Reinforced 8 PSI air-deck for solid footing |
| Materials focus | Brand-spec materials (varies by market/year) | 1.2mm German Mehler Valmex® 2000D PVC + welded seams |
| Support | Dealer network dependent | Australian support + setup guidance |

As an avid adventurer and water sports enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of buying and testing out the WaveRunner 380 Inflatable Sports Catamaran, and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations!
Design and Build Quality:
The WaveRunner 380 boasts a sleek and modern design that not only looks great on the water but is also built for performance. The catamaran structure provides excellent stability, which is essential for both recreational outings and more spirited adventures. The materials used in construction feel robust and resilient, making it suitable for various water conditions.
Ease of Setup:
One of the standout features of the WaveRunner 380 is how easy it is to set up. The inflation process was swift, taking just minutes, thanks to the included high-capacity pump. Once inflated, it held air remarkably well throughout the day. The deflation and packing process was just as seamless, making it super convenient to transport back home.
Performance on Water:
In terms of performance, the WaveRunner 380 is a dream! It glides smoothly over the water, and its catamaran design offers impressive stability, even in choppier waters. I took it out for a day of fun with friends, and we had a blast navigating through waves and making quick turns without any wobbling. The handling is responsive, with a 15hp Mercury Outboard and I felt secure aboard the vessel.
Comfort and Space:
Inside the catamaran, there was plenty of room for everyone. The inflatable seating is surprisingly comfortable, allowing for extended periods of sitting without discomfort. We managed to fit four adults comfortably, and there was still space for gear and supplies. The storage compartments were a nice touch, providing easy access to essentials while keeping the deck clutter-free.
Versatility:
What I particularly love about the WaveRunner 380 is its versatility. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful day of fishing, a thrilling ride with friends, or a relaxing cruise with family, this catamaran fits the bill perfectly. It’s suitable for lakes, rivers, and even calmer ocean waters, making it an excellent all-around choice for any water lover.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the WaveRunner 380 Inflatable Sports Catamaran has become my go-to watercraft now. It combines durability, performance, and comfort in a way that’s hard to beat. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable inflatable catamaran that is perfect for various water activities. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just starting out, the WaveRunner 380 is sure to bring joy and excitement to your water escapades!
Our Family’s Perfect Beach Day with the Wave Runner 380
I just recently bought the Wave Runner 380 inflatable sports boat with the aluminum transom for weekends on the coast Broadwater, and it exceeded our expectations. The kids loved zooming around while my partner and I enjoyed a relaxing cruise.
Pros and features we used a lot:
Aluminum transom: Sturdy and reliable, it felt like a real boat without the heft of a fibreglass hull. We could attach a small trolling motor for calm inlets, and it still folds up compactly for the drive home.
Stable and well-sized: The 380’s wide beam gave us a stable ride even when a light breeze picked up. It’s big enough to hold four adults and gear without feeling cramped.
Easy setup and pack-away: We inflated it in about 10 minutes and deflated just as quickly when we were done. The carry bag and compact design fit perfectly in the Mazda CX5 boot.
Performance that’s kid- and parent-friendly: It planes smoothly, with quick start-to-cruise acceleration. The kids could ride along side us on a gentle inlet, while we enjoyed a steady, fuel-efficient cruise.
Durable materials: The fabric felt rugged, and we appreciated the reinforced seams. It handled the waves near the jetty without showing signs of wear.
What stood out:
Safety-first design: The inflatable chambers kept us buoyant even if one chamber saw a splash. The non-slip floor added confidence for family members wading in and out.
Versatility: We can use it it for a quick reef snorkel run, a towing tube session (with care), and a lazy sunset cruise. The aluminum transom meant we could mount a small motor when we wanted more range.
Storage pockets and quick-dry surfaces: Handy for sunblock, towels, and snacks. The floor dries fast, which kept our beach towels from getting soggy.
Bottom line: If you want a portable, family-friendly boat that’s easy to transport and dependable at the beach, the Wave Runner 380 with aluminum transom is a winner. It combines the ease of an inflatable with the durability and performance edge you’d expect from a larger Inflatable, making our beach day memorable without complicating logistics.
Would highly recommend for families who want more boating days at the shore without the hassle of a heavy bigger boat.
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience with the Wave Runner 380! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic day at the beach.
