The innovative HeliCat 22 looks like a helicopter, but does its best work on the water, not in the air. This cool-looking catamaran is fast and stable, equipped with 4 side facing jump seats with seat belts. It has optional side vinyl doors which keep passengers completely dry. However, one can choose to not utilize the doors in order to feel the open air, similar to a motorcycle ride. The boat is great for fun rides, island transport, and resort adventure tours.

The unique helicopter-influenced catamaran design makes the ride fast, lightweight and perfect for rough water voyages. The enclosed cockpit keeps water out like a typical boat cockpit.
Fuel efficiency: The Helicat has two independent motor/electrical systems for redundancy. At speeds of 20-45 mph; it gets 5 to 3.5 miles per gallon, good for a boat that capable of handling choppy water conditions.
