Purpose

- Coastal fishing and cruising
- Charter and commercial use on some models
- Boaters who want stability and wide decks
- Intermediate to experienced operators
Size options
- Compact power cats
- 22–28 ft — trailerable or small-slip fishing cats
- Mid-size cats
- 30–40 ft — coastal cruising and fishing
- Large cats
- 41 ft+ — liveaboard and charter capable
