Rover Marine Makes Its Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Debut

Rover Marine Battle Boat and Battle Cat on the water ahead of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025, Bahia Mar Booth 89.

For the first time ever, the revolutionary inflatable boats from Rover Marine will be showcased at the world’s largest in-water boat show — the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). Presented by Pop Board Co. — one of North America’s leading paddleboard and dock brands, and recent Gear of the Year winner — this marks the next evolution in portable watercraft innovation.

From Paddleboards to Performance Boats: A Natural Evolution

Known for its award-winning inflatable paddleboards and yacht docks, Pop Board Co. has spent years redefining what’s possible with high-pressure drop-stitch technology. Now, with Rover Marine, that expertise moves into the marine world — merging the portability of a board with the performance of a boat.

“These aren’t your average inflatables,” says the Rover Marine team. “The Battle Boat and Battle Cat are built to launch from the sand, ride over chop, and handle real horsepower — all without fiberglass, trailers, or compromises.”

On Display: The 10 ft Battle Boat and Battle Cat

At Bahia Mar Booth 89, visitors can experience two standouts from Rover Marine’s U.S. lineup:

  • 10 ft Battle Boat — a compact mono-hull inflatable with a high-pressure 10 psi drop-stitch floor and triple-layer 1100D PVC construction. Designed for solo riders, tenders, and marina missions.
  • 10 ft Battle Cat — a twin-pontoon inflatable catamaran with incredible stability, open deck space, and smooth tracking for anglers and adventurers alike.

Why Rover Marine Boats Stand Out

Engineered for performance, built for the elements. Each model is constructed from triple-layer 1100D PVC — the same tough material used in commercial RIBs — but lighter, portable, and easier to store. The drop-stitch rigid floor inflates to 10 psi for unmatched stiffness, while 3.5 psi tubes keep every ride stable and secure.

  • No Trailer Needed: Pack it in your SUV or yacht locker.
  • Electric-Ready: Pairs perfectly with Torqeedo Travel 1103 S or ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus.
  • Quick Setup: Inflate in minutes — no dock space, no wait.
  • Proven Durability: Built for the sun, sand, and salt of South Florida.

Pop Board Co. Expands Its Lineup for Yacht Owners

Pop Board Co. will continue showcasing its full range of yacht docks, inflatable paddleboards, and swim platforms alongside Rover Marine. With the new Battle Series, the company now covers the entire waterfront experience — from paddleboarding at the sandbar to powering back to the yacht.

Why FLIBS Is the Perfect Stage

FLIBS draws over 100,000 attendees and features the world’s top marine innovators. Fort Lauderdale’s unique blend of luxury yachting and coastal adventure mirrors Rover Marine’s philosophy — performance boating without barriers. It’s a place where tech meets lifestyle, and Rover Marine fits that story perfectly.
