REAL STORIES FROM OUR
HAPPY CLIENTS
Hear from our satisfied clientes who experienced the adventure of sailing with us.
The Rovercat 170 Fisherman uses the same catamaran hull as the Rovercat 170, offering the same stability and sense of safety, but in a simpler, more practical, and highly accessible configuration.
Built with two fiberglass components, hull and deck, it is a robust and easy-to-operate boat designed for real functionality. It can be used with a simple 50 HP outboard with tiller steering, already prepared for this setup, or later upgraded with a console, remote controls, seats, electrical systems, and other equipment according to the owner’s needs.
This flexibility allows the owner to start with a very simple and economical boat and then equip it overtime. It is an excellent option for professional use, transporting people and materials, supporting larger vessels, or even replacing an inflatable dinghy, with much greater stability and navigation capability.
The Rovercat 170 Fisherman adapts very well to different environments, whether at sea, on rivers, or on lakes and reservoirs. It is also a great fit for fishing, diving, watersports, and leisure.
Stable, practical, economical, and accessible, it is an excellent choice for those looking for a first boat without giving up safety, versatility, and real-world capability.
