The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 has a catamaran hull design that lifts the boat up and on top of the water to prevent the hull from slapping on the water for a super-smooth ride. This inflatable boat is perfect for fishing, diving, hauling gear, or a fun day on the water.

The durable FastCat is one of the most rugged inflatable boats on the market, made from a double layer of PVC reinforced 1000 Denier fabric and fully constructed with drop-stitch technology for a high-pressure, rigid, dependable, stable, and high-performance boat.

The FastCat12 can be inflated and assembled in a matter of minutes and it’s easy to pack up and stow away in almost any truck bed, SUV, or RV.

Key Features of the Sea Eagle FastCat 12 Catamaran Inflatable Boat

Catamaran Design

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 catamaran-style hull design.

The Sea Eagle FastCat has a catamaran-style hull with widely spaced side tubes that create lift to reduce center floor friction on the water.

The catamaran design:

  • Reduces drag and improves speed
  • Improves fuel efficiency
  • Improves balance, stability, and handling
  • Provides an incredible cloud-cushioned ride

High-Pressure, Reinforced, Drop-Stitch Construction

Top view of the Sea Eagle FastCat 12 Catamaran Inflatable Boat.

The Sea Eagle FastCat is made from a double-layer of PVC-reinforced 1000 Denier fabric that is drop-stitched together by joining the top and bottom of the floor and sides of the gunwales with tens of thousands of high-tensile strength threads.

The drop-stitch construction allows the boat to be inflated up to 15psi. This high pressure improves performance and provides remarkable stability, buoyancy, and a rigid floor stable enough to stand on.

The reinforced double-layer of protection allows the FastCat to bounce off rocks, logs, and other objects leaving the extremely durable boat unscathed.

Safety Air Chambers

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 has four rugged, independent, safety air chambers.

With four separate air chambers, the FastCat12 adheres to the highest safety standards. In the unlikely event of a chamber failure, the boat will easily stay afloat to ensure your safety and that of any passenger.

Protective Rubbing Strake & Bumper Guard

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 has protective rubbing strakes and side bumper guards.

The FastCat 12 has two Universal Scotty Pads in the stern for optional Scotty accessories and two EZ-Attach Bench Seats each with four pre-drilled holes on each end to accept optional Scotty Universal Deck Mounts for four more Scotty accessory mounting locations.

Easily add rod holders, triple rod holders, cup holders, an anchor lock, bait boards, a camera mount, a transducer mount, and more!

EZ-Attach Bench Seats

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 comes with two EZ-Attach Bench Seats.

Attaching the EZ-Attach Bench Seats is fast and easy. They can quickly and securely be attached by fastening four easy-to-screw knobs to four designated D-rings.

Removable Transom

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 has a removable transom that makes the boat lighter and smaller when packed down.

The custom removable transom improves the storability and portability of the FastCat12 by making it lighter and allowing a smaller folded profile.

Install the transom and attach an electric motor up to a 6 hp outboard.

Attach Up To A 6 HP Gas Motor

Up to a 6 HP gas motor can be attached to the transom of the Sea Eagle FastCat12. Pictured is a Honda 5 hp four-stroke outboard motor.

Canopy Attachment System

Non-Slip EVA Foam Covered Deck

While the high-pressure structural strength of the FastCat provides a sturdy floor on which to stand, the non-slip EVA foam deck covering provides secure footing and improved durability.

Industry Leading Stability

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 provides superior stabilization for protection and comfort while standing.

The high-pressure structural strength of the FastCat improves balance, stability, handling, performance, buoyancy, and rigidity for standing and carrying gear and supplies.

Transportable

The FastCat12 has an incredibly portable hull that will pack into almost any SUV, trunk bed, or RV for easy transport to and from the water.

Or leave it inflated and strap it to the top of your SUV, RV, truck rack, or inflatable boat trailer.

Portable

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 is easy to carry from your car to the put-in with the separately sold EZ Cart.
