Essential Package
Best for:
Most Battle Cat buyers who want a clean, short-shaft electric setup.
Includes the Torqeedo Travel 1103 S motor with integrated battery, tiller display, charger, and quick-mount bracket.









The Battle Cat is Rover Marine's dual-pontoon inflatable catamaran for boaters who want a wider stance, a firm high-pressure floor, and a more stable-feeling platform for fishing, tender runs, family cruising, diving, and quiet electric power.
The catamaran-style pontoon layout helps create a more settled feel when boarding, loading gear, standing carefully, moving around the deck, or cruising with a short-shaft electric outboard. It is a strong fit for boaters who want more platform than a traditional inflatable dinghy while still keeping the storage and transport advantages of an inflatable boat.
Every current Battle Cat size uses a 15 inch transom, so short-shaft electric or gas outboards are the starting point. For clean electric power, the Torqeedo Travel 1103 S short shaft is a strong pairing for harbor cruising, yacht tender runs, and quiet days on the water.
The Battle Cat is best suited for lakes, harbors, bays, protected coastal water, inland waterways, and calm to moderate conditions. It is not an offshore rough-water boat. Always match the route, weather, load, motor, and operator experience to the conditions.

Battle Cat FAQ
Use this guide to choose the right Battle Cat size, motor setup, and storage plan before you order.
The Battle Boat uses a traditional inflatable hull layout. The Battle Cat uses a catamaran-style dual-pontoon layout for a wider stance, improved tracking, and more usable deck width for active use.
Choose the 8 ft Battle Cat for 2 people and maximum portability. Choose the 10 ft Battle Cat for the best balance of deck room, transport size, and 4-person rated capacity. Choose the 12 ft Battle Cat when you want the most room, the highest rated capacity at 1200 lb, and motor compatibility up to 20 hp.
Yes. The Battle Cat uses a 15 inch transom, so short-shaft electric outboards are the category to check. The Torqeedo Travel 1103 S short shaft is a strong electric pairing for customers who want quiet integrated power for tender runs, harbors, fishing approaches, and relaxed cruising.
For most Battle Cat buyers shopping electric power, start with the Torqeedo Travel 1103 S short shaft. The Essential Package is the clean standard option. The Extended Range Package is better for customers who want more range confidence on longer rides. Always confirm shaft length, motor weight, route, load, current, wind, and intended use before purchase.
Yes. Battle Cat models can be paired with a properly matched short-shaft gas outboard or electric outboard. Stay within the recommended power rating for the size: up to 6 hp for 8 ft, up to 10 hp for 10 ft, and up to 20 hp for 12 ft.
With a high-output pump, plan on about 10 to 15 minutes for setup. Inflate the tubes to 3.5 PSI and the drop-stitch floor to 10 PSI. Always use a pump with a pressure gauge and follow the current instructions for your exact model.
Yes. The 8 ft Battle Cat packs to 38 in x 24 in x 15 in. The 10 ft packs to 45 in x 28 in x 18 in. The 12 ft packs to 48 in x 32 in x 20 in. Dry the boat fully before storage and avoid storing it rolled up wet.
The Battle Cat uses reinforced inflatable construction with a high-pressure drop-stitch floor, V-TEAK style traction surface, 4 + 1 air chamber layout, 3.5 PSI tubes, and a 10 PSI floor.
The Battle Cat is designed to feel more laterally stable because the dual-pontoon layout creates a wider stance. Stability still depends on size, load, pressure, water conditions, weight placement, motor setup, and how people move aboard.
Yes. The Battle Cat is a strong yacht tender option for customers who want a wider stance, electric motor compatibility, quiet dock-to-shore runs, and a boat that can still pack down for storage. Confirm davit, locker, deck, or swim-platform fit before ordering.
Yes. The dual-pontoon layout and 10 PSI floor make the Battle Cat useful for fishing, freediving, casual scuba support, gear loading, and boarding from the water. Use proper safety gear, balance the load, and operate within the boat's limits.
The Battle Cat is best suited for protected coastal water, harbors, bays, inland waterways, lakes, and calm to moderate conditions. It is not an offshore rough-water boat. Always match the route, weather, load, motor, and operator experience to the conditions.
Registration requirements vary by state, waterway, length, and whether the boat is motorized. Check your state boating agency before use. Rover Marine can provide boat documentation needed for registration when applicable.
Rover Marine's warranty page lists 5 years for the hull, 3 years for tubes and seams, and 2 years for accessories. Warranty coverage applies to qualifying manufacturing issues. Damage from misuse, accidents, punctures caused by use or handling, abrasion, improper storage, dock rash, normal wear, and similar use-related damage is not covered. Motors and third-party equipment may follow the manufacturer's warranty.
