Large Deck Space
Our designs create more space than in a monohull of comparable length. This means our boats have a very stable deck and excellent weight carrying capacity, making our boats versatile in use.
Twin hulls ensure the Cheetah will sit level when beaching. A self-draining deck offers additional safety especially if you need to beach in the surf.

High Efficiency
Fuel economy, speed and quietness are paramount in the design of the Cheetah. Our 9.95m x 3.6m Cheetah when powered by twin 80HP Honda has a top speed of over 20 knots and can maintain 15 knots with a 1500kg load onboard.
The unique hull design ensures a comfortable and stable ride at high speeds in rough seas. During sea trials Cheetah's have achieved top speeds of over 50 knots (depending on the configuration).

Low Hull Resistance
The shallow draught and low hull resistance of our boats means that planing speeds are reached easily with little or no hump resistance. Our boats cruise in calm or rough weather at intermediate speeds, maintaining a level trim with excellent fuel economy.
All Cheetahs have been specifically designed with rough weather sea handling in mind. A cushion of water and air forms in the tunnel giving lift and a soft ride in head seas and minimal wake at fast speeds. Straight line in following seas and stable beam sea handling complete the Cheetah experience.
