Aerowave AeroCat Series

The lighter Viper.
Smarter price.

The AeroCat Series is the same boat as our Viper — same factory, same welded construction, same twin-hull DNA — built in lighter 0.9mm German VALMEX. Four models from 3.35 m to 4.0 m. From A$3,395, door-to-door.

0.9mm German VALMEX Thermo-welded seams CE ISO 6185-3 certified 5-year hull warranty

AeroCat vs Viper — straight answer

Same boat. Same factory. Lighter hull. Smarter price.

The AeroCat is built on the exact same Viper hull tooling, by the same welders, in the same factory. The only differences are the fabric and the warranty: the AeroCat runs 0.9mm German VALMEX instead of 1.2mm, and carries a 5-year warranty instead of 7. Transoms, valves, deck, layout, accessories — identical. If you want a real catamaran without paying for commercial-spec fabric, this is your range.

Why the AeroCat sells

Viper DNA. AeroCat price.

Lighter to lift, easier to solo-launch, hundreds of dollars cheaper. The honest entry to a real Aerowave catamaran.

Boat in a bag

Every AeroCat folds down into a single carry bag — lightweight and portable enough to live in the boot, the garage corner or the back of the ute. No trailer, no rego, no ramp queue.

0.9mm German VALMEX

1100 decitex / 0.9mm VALMEX® — the same German fabric and welded construction as the Viper, in a lighter, more solo-friendly hull.

Thermo-welded seams

Identical four-step heat-welded seam process to our Viper Series. No glue failures, no peeling — built by the same hands.

CE certified

Certified to ISO 6185-3 + EU Directive 2013/53/EU. The same standard European commercial operators demand.

Real Australian support

Designed in Australia, supported by an Australian marine team. You speak to humans, not chatbots.

5-year warranty

Every AeroCat carries a 5-year hull and seam warranty, backed by replacement parts held in Australia and our Hong Kong hub.

Over-inflation valves

Heat-protected valves on every chamber stop seams blowing out on 45-degree-plus days. Standard on every model — not an upgrade.

Air deck floorboards standard

Every AeroCat rides on the same inflatable air deck floor as our Vipers — rigid and flat underfoot at 8–10 PSI, then it rolls up with the boat so the whole package still fits in one bag.

Inside the build

Same factory. Same hands.

Every AeroCat is built on the same line, by the same welders, with the same Viper hull tooling. The fabric is 0.9mm German VALMEX instead of 1.2mm — still the same German mill, still thermo-welded, still fitted with heat-protected over-inflation valves on every chamber to stop seams blowing out on 45-degree-plus days. That's how we deliver Viper-grade engineering at AeroCat pricing.

0.9mm German VALMEX

1100 decitex / 0.9mm — same German fabric our competitors call premium. We just call it the AeroCat hull.

Over-inflation valves (every model)

Heat-protected valves stop seams blowing out on 45-degree-plus days. Standard, not an upgrade.

Identical transom & deck

Same transom plate, same air deck, same wheels. The savings are in the fabric weight — nowhere else.

Where we sit — measured, not claimed

The AeroCat against the two boats you are probably cross-shopping.

Hull thickness, warranty term, certification, transom height and the price that lands at your door — ours against theirs, taken from their own published spec pages.

Landed-cost comparison of all three 3.8–4.0 m packages — boat, the accessories you would need to match our package, and delivery to Australia. No adjectives, no opinions — just the published specs, prices and warranty terms.
