Outstanding finish. The seams are perfect, the floor is rigid, and it tracks beautifully.

How this boat compares
Cheap imports wear out.
European brands cost a fortune.
We build to the European material standard — then sell factory-direct, so you don't pay for a dealer network. Same 10–12 year hull life. Roughly a third of the price.
The only difference is 350 mm (35 cm) of length.
Customers keep asking us: "What's actually different between the Viper 365 Open Bow and the Viper 400?"Straight answer — the hull is 350 mm (35 cm) shorter. That's it. Same 1.2 mm German VALMEX fabric, same catamaran hull shape, same open-bow layout, same 5–7 year warranty, same full-package inclusions (Bimini, LockPro Plus wheels, electric + hand pump, seats, bags, repair kit). Same build, same factory, same quality — just 35 cm shorter and lighter on the wallet.
- • Length: 3.65 m
- • Capacity: 5 people
- • Max HP: 40 hp short shaft
- • Fabric: 1.2 mm VALMEX
- • Warranty: 5–7 years
- • Length: 4.00 m (+350 mm / +35 cm)
- • Capacity: 6 people
- • Max HP: 40 hp
- • Fabric: 1.2 mm VALMEX (identical)
- • Warranty: 5–7 years (identical)
Pick the 365 if you want a lighter, easier-to-store, easier-to-tow catamaran for up to 5 people. Pick the 400 if you regularly load 6 people or want the extra 35 cm of deck space. Everything else — the fabric, the hull, the finish — is the same boat.
The story behind the build
Aerowave Viper 365 Open Bow — 3.65m Premium Catamaran
The 3.65m mid-size Viper — the sweet-spot inflatable catamaran for Australian families and coastal weekenders. Big enough to run four adults, small enough to pack into the back of a wagon or caravan.
The Viper 365 is built with the same 1.2mm German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus commercial-grade fabric used on our 4.0m flagship.
Built for
- Australian families wanting a real day-boat that fits in the garage
- Coastal weekenders, fishos, and crabbers on calm to moderate water
- Yacht and cruiser owners who want a serious catamaran tender / stand-alone runabout
- Buyers upsizing from a 3.3m who want more room and load capacity
Why this boat
- 1.2mm German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus PVC
- Thermo-welded seams — no glued joints to fail in the tropics
- True catamaran twin-hull ride — dry, stable, plane-ready with modest horsepower
- 8–10 PSI high-pressure air deck with woven core — rigid, packable
- Over-pressure safety valves on every chamber — same spec as commercial rescue craft
- CE certified to ISO 6185-3 and EU Directive 2013/53/EU
- Full Bimini sun top included in the package
Backed by a 5–7 Year Limited Hull Warranty
Comprehensive cover on hull fabric, welded seams, valves, air deck and fittings.

- Commercial Construction
- German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus 1.2mm commercial-grade fabric
- Transom
- Fully horizontal grilled transom — open drainage, no bung, no plastic components. Plastic drain plugs collect prawn heads, weed and grit and become a permanent cleaning problem; ours flushes clear.

- ~125cm x 70cm x 42cm — 2 bags (hull + floor/accessories)
- Transom Height
- 380mm (as of 1 July 2026 — previously 405mm) — lower transom drops the prop deeper for more bite and eliminates ventilation & aeration at speed
- Drainage
- Grilled drain system — no plastic components. Plastic pop-up / bung drains trap prawn heads, weed and grit and are a nightmare to clean out; a grilled deck flushes clear every time.

Four weekends that actually happen with this boat.
We stopped selling specs a while back. Here's what owners actually do with the Aerowave Viper 365 Open Bow — pick the one that sounds like your Saturday.
Estuary and reef fishing
Rod holders where you actually stand.
Two heavy-duty rod holders + glued mounts included. Grilled aluminium transom flushes prawn heads and weed — no plastic strainers to clog.
Yacht tender / mothership run
Sits on top of the water, not down in it.
Catamaran tunnel hull stability, wide deck space and straight tracking under load — beach it, tender the yacht, run to shore for ice.
Family weekends
Two kids, one dog, dry feet.
Wide bow bench, low tube entry, non-slip deck. Wheels the boat down the sand solo — no ramp queues.
Off-grid camping
Find a river, lake or summer camp and stay longer.
Catamarans suit off-grid camping: stable at rest, shallow-water friendly and bag-packed for the 4WD or van. The 4 m Open Bow is the camping-expedition setup.
See it from every angle.
Every detail, engineered to last
From the reinforced aluminium transom to the heat-welded seams and premium 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® tubes — this is what sets the Viper apart.

Frequently asked questions
What motor suits the Viper 365 Open Bow?
The Viper 365 is rated up to 30HP 4-stroke short shaft, with 20HP 4-stroke short shaft recommended for the best balance of cruise speed, economy and weight.
How many people does the Viper 365 carry?
Rated capacity is 750kg or up to 6 adults. The open-bow layout gives families room to move and fishos space to cast around the bow.
Why an open-bow catamaran instead of the enclosed-bow Sovereign?
The open bow gives you more usable deck space for fishing, gear, divers and kids, while the twin-hull catamaran shape still delivers stability at rest and a confidence-inspiring ride. The Sovereign keeps a fully enclosed forward locker for buyers who prefer that flagship layout.
Is the Viper 365 easy to launch and store?
Yes. It includes Italian 316 Stainless LockPro launch wheels for beach and ramp use, and packs into two bags (hull + floor/accessories) at approximately 125 x 70 x 42cm — fits most SUVs and 4WDs.
What warranty is included?
7-year structural hull warranty backed by Australian phone support, setup advice and spare parts. Premium German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus 1.2mm fabric and thermo-welded seams are built for long-term ownership.
Is delivery included?
Yes — every boat includes Express Delivery Credit, Australia-wide, approximately 30 days door-to-door via our direct Hong Kong → Sydney sea service (about 14 days at sea plus customs, biosecurity and courier delivery). Your price includes GST, import duties and standard delivery — no surprise charges on arrival. Optional DHL Express air-freight upgrade is available for faster delivery, and remote-area addresses may incur a checkout-calculated surcharge.
