About this boat

The story behind the build

Aerowave Viper 400 Sovereign — 4.0m Enclosed-Bow Flagship

The most premium boat we build. 4.0m of enclosed-bow catamaran with the driest, most confident ride in the Aerowave range — the boat we take out first when the weather turns.

Built on 1.2mm German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus commercial-grade PVC — the same industrial fabric spec'd on rescue and workboats.


Built for

  • Owners who want the best boat in the range, full stop
  • Serious offshore-lite fishing, crabbing and coastal weekending
  • Yacht owners who want the driest, most stable tender we make
  • Buyers who value real long-term durability over big-brand marketing

Why this boat

  • 1.2mm German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus PVC
  • Enclosed bow — dramatically drier ride into head-sea and chop vs open-bow catamarans
  • Thermo-welded seams, not glued
  • 8–10 PSI high-pressure air deck with optional aluminium floor upgrade (+A$500)
  • Over-pressure safety valves on every chamber
  • CE certified to ISO 6185-3 and EU Directive 2013/53/EU
  • Full Bimini sun top included

Backed by a 5–7 Year Limited Hull Warranty

Comprehensive cover on hull fabric, welded seams, valves, air deck and fittings.

Full Package contents

What's included in the Full Package

  • Premium Catamaran Hull Platform
    Twin-hull stability for a more confidence-inspiring ride and reduced roll at rest.
  • German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus 1.2mm fabric
    Commercial-grade fabric built for abrasion, UV exposure and long-term ownership confidence.
  • 10 PSI high-pressure air deck floor
    Built with specialised drop-stitch technology and covered in VALMEX non-slip material. A firmer underfoot feel for standing, fishing and moving around with confidence.
  • 4 × Over-Inflation Safety Valves (one per chamber)
    Standard on every boat — premium pressure protection that helps protect the tubes when heat causes air pressure to rise. Most competitors don't include these.
  • Full Bimini Top Kit
    Shade and comfort already sorted for longer days on the water — choose light grey or black at checkout.
  • Italian 316 Stainless LockPro Wheels
    Heavy-duty launch wheels for easier beach or ramp handling. Red or grey available.
  • 2 x Removable Aluminium Bench Seats
    Flexible passenger and fishing layout options.
  • Premium Aluminium Transom
    Stronger rear mounting platform for improved engine support and durability.
  • 2 x Rod Holder Mounts + 2 x Rod Holders
    Two rod holder base mounts are glued to the deck by our production team, and two clip-in rod holders are included — fishing-ready straight out of the bag.
  • Bow D-Rings
    Fitted front D-rings for compatible tie-downs and future accessory mounting points.
  • Heavy-Duty Rope Holder
    Fitted rope holder on the bow for mooring, towing and retrieval.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Sovereign different from a standard inflatable boat?

Its twin-hull catamaran design focuses on stability at rest, while the 8-10 PSI maximum high-pressure floor gives a firmer, more rigid feel underfoot. It is also supplied as a complete flagship package.

Why is the Sovereign still positioned as the flagship Viper 400?

The Sovereign is the flagship enclosed-bow model. The new show-special price gives buyers a stronger value entry point while still delivering the more refined layout, premium feel and top Viper ownership package.

What motor suits the Viper 400 Sovereign?

The Sovereign is rated up to 40HP 4-stroke short shaft, with 30HP 4-stroke short shaft recommended for many buyers depending on load and use.

Why does the 8-10 PSI maximum air deck matter?

A higher-pressure air deck gives a firmer, more confidence-inspiring underfoot feel when standing, fishing, loading gear or moving around on board.

Is delivery included?

Yes — every boat includes Express Delivery Credit included — Australia-wide, approximately 30 days door-to-door. Our new direct Hong Kong → Sydney sea service runs about 14 days, then Australian customs and biosecurity clearance, then courier delivery to your door. 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.

What makes it better for Australian conditions?

Premium German VALMEX® 7321 Heavy Plus 1.2mm commercial-grade fabric, thermo-welded seams, over-inflation safety valves, strong support and a practical package spec all help suit real Australian use.

Can I get the Sovereign with aluminium floorboards instead of the air deck?

Yes — from 15 June 2026 the Sovereign 400 is available with marine-grade aluminium floorboards and an inflatable keel as a +$500 upgrade. The standard build still ships with the 8-10 PSI maximum high-pressure air deck (77kg). The aluminium floorboard + keel option adds rigidity for serious fishing, standing casting and heavier loads, and brings the all-up boat weight to roughly 92kg. Choose your preferred floor on the product page before adding to cart — if no option is selected, the standard air deck is supplied.

Fabric is the whole story

The market ships 0.9 mm.
We ship 1.2 mm.

Nearly every comparable catamaran in this class rolls off the line on an 1100 GSM / 0.9 mm VALMEX® PVC hull — or 0.9 mm Chinese PVC. Ours ships standard on 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus — German-woven, the same fabric family used on RFDs, workboat tenders and CE-rated commercial ribs. We're one of very few builders in the world putting this fabric on a recreational catamaran at this price.

Took it out chasing snapper offshore — handled the chop way better than I expected.

Pulled the kids on a tube all day. Heaps of room and the 4-stroke pushed it along nicely.
