Takacat T420LX
Carry everything and Everyone at the same time
The T420LX boasts oversized tubes and extra wide beam for added stability and plenty of room for family and friends. The removable Tube Transom® allows the boat to be packed down into bags with a surprisingly small storage footprint—especially for a boat this large—making it possibly one of the largest genuinely portable inflatable catamarans on the market. Four tube chambers and one floor chamber provide safety features the make the T420LX well suited to a wide variety of uses such as flood rescue, duck hunting, fishing, coach and support boats, and dive support boats.

Portable
No need for the hassle of a trailer or the cost of storage. Pack down the boat into two carry bags and throw it in the trunk, closet, or overhead compartment. The carry bags are vented, so you can even store it wet and it stays fresh.
Easy Entry Bow
The open bow, raised deck and rigid air deck floor makes boarding passengers and cargo effortless from beach, dock, and even a larger vessel. Combined with the shallow draft of the boat, entry and exit from the water is just as simple, even for small children and pets.
Fast-Draining Removable Tube Transom®
The revolutionary removable Tube Transom® allows the deck to drain continuously, so the boat never holds water. Lightweight stainless steel construction on the tube makes the boat 15 lbs lighter than traditional inflatable boats.
Catamaran Performance
The lightweight catamaran style and aerodynamic tapered bow glides over the water for smooth, fast travel. The high pressure air deck with non-skid coating creates a rigid platform to keep passengers and cargo steady on the water.
Dayboat Capable
The Takacat 420LX has XXL diameter tubes at 22"! This means that the 420LX can comfortably sit more passengers and carry more gear.
The added tube diameter also means the boat will be drier in choppy conditions.
Easy to Row
Lightweight PVC rubber material construction and the sleek Tube Transom® keeps the boat lightweight, making it easy to pilot with the included oars. External oar rowlocks and Velcro straps ensure your oars stay on board with you.

Safe for Pet Paws
Takacat boats are made with durable coated textile fabric that is very wear and puncture resistant. Bring along your furry friends without worry of punctures or damage from their claws!
Durable Single-Seam Construction
The hulls are constructed with a single seam, rather than the double seams on standard inflatables. Less seam work minimizes the likelihood of damage at the weakest spots of the boat. The seams use a chemically bonded gluing system for durability against brittleness.

"The conspicuous open bow and stern of the Takacat design allows for flatter, more expansive, and more stable platform than any comparable inflatable we’ve tested." Read the article...

"The whole package feels solid and is blessedly free from the skittishness of the traditional roll up inflatable. [...] I was reluctant to pack the Takacat away and kept her inflated for four days as I went back to do more “testing.” Read the article...
