Takacat History

The Takacat Story

The development of Takacat inflatable boats was pioneered by company founder Greg Sowden in Auckland, NZ. Greg’s leading edge design approach was born from the love of the water and nurtured from a lifetime spent in and around inflatable boats. That depth of experience led him to produce an inflatable catamaran boat that broke the mold!  Takacat is committed to providing boaters all around the world with a revolutionary line of inflatable catamarans. The Takacat LX Series offers safety, stability, and speed as well as versatility and easy handling. Thanks to the ground-breaking removable Tube Transom®, Takacat LX Series is the leader in portability. Removable fishing rod holders and very compact storage bags make it an ideal boat for fishing trips and transport in the trunk of a car or RV.
