Check out the latest revue of the Takacat range in the New Zealand July TRADE-A BOATmagazine.
TRADE-A BOAT says.... "Much more than a tender. Like towing a small four-wheel drive behind your campervan, a Takacat tender is a great way to get so much more out of any destination."
Count down begins for the 2010 Rowing World Championships withTakacat as one of the proud supporting partners.

The new Lite series has had a very good reaction with good sales from both local and international markets. It has been reported that it can plane with as little as a 2.5hp and we know that with a 5hp it seems to have heaps of speed with one person on board. It has very good load carrying capacity and the lightness and portability are very popular features.
Further testing on propellers has led us to recommend upgrading from the standard propeller to a more hi performance stainless steel propeller which will enhance your boats performance. The standard propellers supplied with outboards tend not to be effective with catamaran hull designs. For further information or to discuss your requirements please don’t hesitate to contact us.

April 2010
Takacat Lite Series is launched and a new era in inflatable tenders begins!
Extremely light and portable this new catamaran tender has something for everyone. It rows great, it has brilliant performance under power and like all Takacat catamarans provides exceptional stability and safety. Great for a tender, the campervan or for a fun sports boat.
Having received a very good revue from the "Trade A Boat" April inflatable boat buyer's guide ("An excellent and innovative approach to the traditional inflatable tender") we look forward to exciting times ahead. Stay tuned for new photos, videos and info.
New Aluminium trailers
Our first aluminium bolt-together trailer has been completed and put through the tests with a trip down to Pukehina for some surf beach launching. It’s light, tows extremely well and makes launching and retrieval a breeze.
We can customise a trailer to your personal requirements and can offer road or simple beach launching trailers that are great for a quad and batch set-up.
March 2010
The first Takacat Freedom with a console set-up was launched and delivered to a happy customer using it as a tender for a large vessel. It handles extremely well and provides a very stable platform for boarding and beaching, fishing and diving and has heaps of power for pulling the kids around on water toys. Since the launch we have received orders from customers in Greece, Australia and New Zealand and interest in this unique concept continues to grow.
A sole distributor was appointed for Greece & Cyprus. We are pleased to have on board www.ithakimarine.gr - an innovative company that deals in the sales and charters of large catamarans and now the Takacat range as tenders and day boats.
