New England Boatworks Custom Aircat Catamaran

This custom one of a kind high performance 50 foot power Aircat Catamaran was built as a 49 seat passenger plus 2 crew ferry.  She is powered by twin diesel Yanmar 900 hp engines which make her fly with a potential top speed of 46 knots in calm waters.  She is a multihull planning configuration with her hulls jet assisted (air cushioned) with fans and auxiliary Yanmar engines which make her sit high in the water while underway.  Although currently configured as a passenger ferry, there are many adaptive reuse options for her.  She could easily convert to a fishing charter vessel, harbormaster vessel, port security, event charter, booze cruise, live aboard, etc.  It cost approximately 2 million dollars to build her.  Why not start a passenger ferry business this year?

As you come aboard at the transom, you will find an open area for standing room, a large lazarette locker for life vests and port and starboard hatches to the engine rooms below.  As you walk forward you will pass rows of seating until you reach the cockpit area.  There are additional storage lockers in the cockpit area which features two chairs for captain and crew.  In the bow area you will find the large fans powered by the auxiliary Yanmar engines.  There is a hatch with ladder on the bow center line providing access to the expansive foredeck area.
