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.

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.
- 1100 GSM / 0.9 mm VALMEX® PVC
- 3–7 year typical service life on the coast
- Thinner than 1.2 mm Heavy Plus under abrasion and hard use
- Category-average landed price A$6,790
- 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus — 33% more fabric than the market
- 10–12 year service life on the Australian coast
- Same fabric family used on RFDs, commercial tenders, CE-rated ribs
- One of very few builders in the world offering this at this price

Customer reviews
Verified Google reviews from real Aerowave Viper 400 Sovereign owners across Australia.
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.
