Material Quick Select Guide:

PVC

PVC is the most widely used material in the inflatable industry, offering a proven balance of performance and value. Our PVC features a high-strength polyester core with multi-layer coating, specifically engineered for the marine environment.

  • Key Advantage (Value): The most cost-effective option, providing professional-grade performance at the lowest price point.
  • Construction: 100% precision heat-welded seams for a structural bond that outlasts traditional glues.
  • Weight: Highly portable and the lightest material in our lineup.
  • Servicability: PVC boats are the easiest to glue and repair. Replacement parts are more readily available for future replacements.
  • Best For: Recreational boating, fishing, and weekend adventures in standard UV conditions.

TPU

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (aka TPU) is the modern "super-material" of the inflatable world. It offers significantly higher abrasion and puncture resistance than PVC while remaining more affordable than Hypalon. It is the ideal choice for those who want a rugged, long-lasting boat without the weight or cost of rubber.

  • Key Advantage (Performance Value): Offers premium durability and longevity at a price point significantly lower than Hypalon.
  • Superior Durability: Exceptional resistance to scuffs, scrapes, and punctures.
  • Welded Integrity: Like PVC, TPU allows for 100% heat-welded seams, ensuring a permanent, airtight bond.
  • Eco-Friendly: A more environmentally conscious choice, as the manufacturing process is solvent-free.
  • Best For: High-use environments, professional applications, and boaters seeking a "lifetime" material upgrade.

Hypalon (CSM)

Hypalon is a synthetic rubber (Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene) and is considered the legacy standard for extreme environmental resistance. It is specifically designed for boats that will live outdoors in the harshest conditions on Earth.

  • Ultimate UV Protection: Virtually impervious to the degrading effects of intense tropical sun and high UV indexes.
  • Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to fuel spills, oil, and harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Construction: Must be assembled using a cold-bond manual gluing process; it cannot be welded like PVC or TPU.
  • Longevity: Known for a 20+ year lifespan when properly maintained in extreme climates.
  • Best For: Commercial/military use, and boats permanently stored on davits in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or equatorial regions.

LX Custom

$1,999.00

The Takacat LX Series is the ultimate high-performance portable catamaran. Ranging from the compact 8' 6" T260LX to the 15' T460LX, the series is defined by superior stability and speed. Our signature catamaran hull ensures a smooth, level ride, while the "walk-on" open bow makes boarding from the water or beach effortless.

Designed for portability, the LX features a removable Tube Transom® system, packing down into two bags—no trailer needed. Through this custom shop, you can spec your LX for any environment. Choose high-grade PVC for versatility, high-tech TPU for welded-seam durability, or legendary Hypalon for extreme UV protection.

Finish your build with a custom colorway to match your style. Whether you need a rugged yacht tender or a specialized fishing platform, this is your chance to build an LX dialed in for your mission. Stable, self-bailing, and now fully customizable.

*TPU and Hypalon only available in Grey, unless ordering 20 or more. Email contactus@takacatna.com for bulk ordering.

Sport Custom

$1,999.00

The Takacat Sport series is engineered for those who demand speed, agility, and a classic profile. While it shares the high-performance catamaran hull of the LX, the Sport features a closed-bow design with sleek, tapered tubes. This streamlined shape is ideal for high-speed runs and navigating choppy water while maintaining the exceptional stability and "air-cushion" ride Takacat is famous for. The closed bow provides extra forward buoyancy and increased inboard storage space vs the LX series.

Portability remains at the core of the Sport series. With the removable Tube Transom® system, these boats disassemble quickly into two compact bags for easy transport in a car or RV—no trailer required. Through this custom offering, you can build a Sport tailored to your exact needs. Choose high-grade PVC for lightweight performance, upgrade to TPU for more durability while keeping welded seams, or select Hypalon for maximum UV resistance. Finalize your build with a custom colorway that reflects your style. Sleek, fast, and fully customizable.

*TPU and Hypalon only available in Grey, unless ordering 20 or more. Email contactus@takacatna.com for bulk ordering.

Go Custom

$1,299.00

The Takacat Go series is our most compact and lightweight catamaran, designed for ultimate portability and quick deployment. As the smallest models in our lineup, the Go series is built specifically for those who need a boat that is easy to handle and simple to store. Whether it’s a solo fishing trip or a micro-tender for your yacht, the Go offers the same stable, high-performance catamaran ride as our larger models in a streamlined package.

Available exclusively in high-grade PVC, the Go series is built for durability and value. Unlike the removable Tube Transom found on the LX and Sport series, the Go features a fixed, solid aluminum transom as standard. This provides a rugged, integrated motor mounting point and a simplified setup process—just inflate and go. If you are looking for a feather-light, "grab-and-go" boat that fits easily in a trunk or on a deck, the Go is the lightest way to get on the water.

A custom Takacat is built to your exact specifications at our factory. Because these boats are made-to-order, they are subject to the following terms:

  • Lead Times & Delivery: Expected delivery is 90–120+ days from the date of your order. While we move as fast as possible, global logistics can be unpredictable. Please note that we do not offer refunds for timeline delays—don't wait until the last minute to order your custom boat!
  • Expedited Shipping: If you need your boat sooner, air-freight and expedited shipping from the factory are available for an additional fee. Reach out to our team at contactus@takacatna.com for an expedited-rates shipping quote.
  • Payment Policy: Due to the specialized nature of custom colors and materials, all payments for Custom Ordered boats are non-refundable. Once the factory begins your build, the commitment is final.
  • Warranty & Replacement: Your custom boat is protected by our standard Takacat warranty. While we stand behind every stitch, please be aware that we may not stock every custom component (like hot-pink hulls!) in our US warehouse. In the event of a warranty claim, specialized parts may be subject to production delays or color substitution if an exact match is not immediately available.
