SKATER 418

Skater Powerboats is pushing the limits once again with the all-new 418 — a next-generation catamaran inspired directly by the raw dominance and race-bred attitude of modern Pro Class 1 offshore competition boats. Built around an aggressive 40-foot running surface and an enormous 72-inch tunnel, the 418 is engineered to redefine stability, efficiency, and top-end performance in the high-speed pleasure and poker run world.

​

The wider tunnel design delivers increased aerodynamic lift while maintaining exceptional rough-water control, allowing the hull to fly level and planted at speeds most boats only dream about. Every line of the 418 reflects pure offshore DNA — from its sharp aerodynamic deck profile to the race-inspired running surfaces designed to maximize speed, balance, and confidence in extreme conditions.

​

The 418 combines Skater’s legendary catamaran heritage with lessons learned from the evolution of modern offshore racing. The result is a boat capable of blistering acceleration, unmatched high-speed stability, and a ride quality that stays composed when the water turns violent.

​

Designed for big horsepower applications and built with lightweight composite construction, the new 418 is expected to become a benchmark platform for owners demanding race boat performance with the refinement and reliability of a world-class offshore machine.

​

With its Pro Class 1 influence, expanded tunnel dimensions, and unmistakable Skater pedigree, the 418 isn’t simply another model release — it’s the next evolution of American high-performance catamarans.
