THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AQUA MARINA
AIRCAT CATAMARANS
Compact and lightweight, these economical inflatable catamarans are ideal water safety
crafts for touring, take-away camping and family weekend outing. Featuring ultra-stable
tunnel hull and generous deck space, this inflatable catamaran is impressive with its
outstanding capacity and the ability to brave winds and waves while being high-speed.
Gone are the days when a dedicated boat trailer is required. Now just pack it in the
carry bag, together with all the matching accessories, it can fit into the back seat of most
cars.
This manual has been compiled to help you achieve long term safe use and pleasure
from your Aqua Marina® boats.
