Scotty tries out the ‘Unsinkable’ Quantum Catamaran

If versatility and safety are selling points that are important to you when you’re looking to purchase a recreational vessel, then Quantum Cat Marine is definitely worth investigating.

The Sunshine Coast boat builder’s Quantum Mirage 480 range comes in utility, open classic, centre console and cuddy cab configurations so you can have them build a boat with the layout that best suits your needs.

There’s also the option to add extras including more seating, rod holders, or a bimini top.

The catamarans are constructed from polyethylene resin, with closed cell polyurethane foam-filled planning hulls.  The twin hulls make for a very comfortable ride; being cats, they are SUPER stable; and the team at Quantum Cat Marine is happy to stake their reputation on the fact that they’re unsinkable.

In the words of Ben Jensen from Quantum Cat Marine, “you could pretty well run a chainsaw down through the side if it, and you’d still get home.”

The Quantum Mirage 480 draws next to nothing, making it perfect for sneaking into rivers and creeks to fish for bread and butter species, and to drop a few crab pots.

But they just as easily translate to conditions offshore, getting you to the inner reefs (in our case the Gneerings off of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast) with the minimum of fuss.

Quantum Cats are 100% Australian made, and the Sunshine Coast company can make a custom designed single axle trailer of marine grade aluminum as part of your package.
