"Drive it like you stole it!"

Dan Oatley, the genius entrepreneur from one of Australia's best-known boating families, provides that recommendation to those fortunate enough to become a proud owner of what is being hailed as the Ferrari of RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), the Castlerock Carbon Cat, constructed of carbon fibre and Hypalon at 5.3 meters long.

“I set out to design and build the high speed, stable and visually appealing RIB and I’m certain that target has been achieved” Dan Oatley said. “This is due primarily to the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic features that I have been able to incorporate in design, along with the benefits that come with carbon fibre construction. This boat ticks every box in its category when it comes to recreational boating.”
