About

Celebrating 40 years of Australian-made power catamarans — engineered for strength, performance, and adventure.

Our Story

Passion. Craftsmanship. Legacy.

At Kevlacat, we’re passionate about building world-class power catamarans that perform in the toughest conditions. With a no-compromise approach and a reputation that’s second to none, we build boats that professionals rely on — whether they’re earning a living on the water or saving lives.

 

Kevlacat is the choice of serious operators who refuse to settle for inferior alternatives. From commercial fishermen to marine rescue teams, our boats are trusted where performance and reliability matter most.

 

What sets us apart is our team. Nearly all of our staff are boaters themselves — game fishermen, divers, ex-commercial operators, and weekend adventurers. Their firsthand experience and passion are poured into every Kevlacat we build.

 

Because when you’re out on the water, nothing performs like a Kevlacat.

Our History & Evolution

40 Years of Innovation. Built for the Future.

As proud custodians of the iconic Kevlacat Power Boats Australia brand, we’ve spent over four decades pushing the boundaries of marine technology.

 

With more than 1,000 vessels built, Kevlacat has become a leader in advanced catamaran design — from high-speed ferries and trailerable powerboats to larger commercial craft.

 

Kevlacat has always stood at the forefront of modern vessel engineering. Our boats are constructed using advanced composites — including Kevlar — the same high-strength material used in bulletproof vests.

These innovations deliver:

  • Twice the strength of traditional fiberglass

  • One-third the weight of conventional GRP catamarans

 

The result? Real-world performance benefits like smaller motors, improved fuel efficiency, and easier transport.

 

It’s no wonder our vessels are trusted by water police, customs, and air-sea rescue teams across Australia.
