10 ft Battle Cat
Two hulls. One steady deck.
Twin 18 in pontoons spread the load, so the 10 ft stays level when someone stands up, casts or climbs back in from the water.
Anatomy
Every detail, on purpose.
The 10 ft from above.
10 ft5 ft- 1Twin pontoonsTwo 18 in tubes at 3 PSI, T3 woven PVC with thermally welded seams. A wide stance that stays planted when people move around.
- 2V-TEAK deckRover Marine's V-TEAK flooring is a non-slip PVC deck with a hyper-grip texture over a 10 PSI drop-stitch floor. No slipping on the way in or out.
- 3EVA bench seating2 benches, reinforced and EVA padded. Use one, use two, or take them out.
- 415 in transomReinforced for a short-shaft outboard, with carbon-V splash flaps for a drier ride and four interlocking stainless mounting rings for hoisting and tie-down.
- 5Daisy Chain LinkA daisy chain strap along each tube to clip gear to, so the deck stays clear in any conditions.
- 6High-contrast handlesBlack and white handles you can pick out instantly when the water gets rough. Four inside, six outside for carrying.
Why it works
Six reasons it ends up on the water more.
Stand up and cast.
The floor is high-pressure drop-stitch at 10 PSI with a V-TEAK traction surface. No plywood, no aluminum panels, nothing to assemble.
Gas or electric. Your call.
The reinforced 15 in transom takes any short-shaft outboard up to 10 hp. Yamaha for range, Torqeedo or ePropulsion for quiet. Motors sold separately.
Open bow. Easy in, easy out.
The open bow and low freeboard make climbing back aboard simple. Free diving, snorkeling, a swim off the back.
It lives in the trunk.
Deflated, the 10 ft packs to 45 x 28 x 18 in and weighs 98 lb. No trailer to register, no slip fees, no storage yard.
Built to take it.
T3 woven PVC. Thermally welded seams. 4 + 1 air chambers. Four stainless mounting rings on the transom. Backed by a 5-year hull and seam warranty.
Fish. Dive. Lounge. Tender.
Shore runs, guest pickup and marina errands, then it deflates into the locker. Add the Bimini for shade, sold separately.
Hardware
What's on board.
Fittings that come on every size.
4 inside handles
High-contrast black and white, placed where your hand lands when you push through chop.
6 outside grab handles
For carrying and for moving it in and out of the water.
6 D-rings
Four on the deck and floor for gear, two under the frame for towing.
Daisy Chain Link
A strap of loops along each tube. Clip in a cooler, a dry bag or a rod holder.
4 transom mounts
Interlocking stainless rings for hoisting on davits and tying down.
V-TEAK deck
Non-slip PVC with a hyper-grip texture over the 10 PSI drop-stitch floor.
Setup
Bag to water in about 15 minutes.
Set it up where you are: the dock, the beach, the lawn. About 10 to 15 minutes with the manual pump in the box.
- 1Unroll it.Take it out of the bag and lay it flat where you want to launch.
- 2Shape the tubes.A little air in each tube, just enough for the boat to take shape. Do not pressurize yet.
- 3Floor to 10 PSI.Inflate the drop-stitch floor fully until it is firm and rigid.
- 4Tubes to 3 PSI.Fill each air chamber. This is the moment to clip the benches in where you want them.
- 5Paddles and motor.Snap the paddles into their mounts, clamp the short-shaft outboard on the transom, go.
Rover Marine x POP Board Co
The story behind it.
About the Battle Cat
The Battle Cat is Rover Marine's inflatable catamaran: two pontoons, a reinforced high-pressure floor and a wide stance, so it cuts through chop while staying a steady platform for fishing, exploring or cruising. The open bow makes getting in and out simple, which is why divers and snorkelers like it. Properly loaded, the bow stays dry as the boat rides high and skims across the surface. Available in 8, 10 and 12 ft.
Why it is called the Battle Cat
It was almost as if the name came first and the boat came second. The Battle Cat takes the traditional tender form and gives it attitude, finished in a bold color Rover calls Battleship Blue. The idea was simple: a take-anywhere, do-anything boat with no limits on where the day goes. Fishing with a couple of friends, jumping in for a snorkel, or moving boat to boat on a sunset cruise.
Where it came from
POP Board Co and Rover Marine built this boat together. Having spent our lives on the water, on boats big and small, we saw the category settle into the same white and grey dinghy. We wanted a boat that stands out, turns heads and makes you take a second look, and one that works as hard as it looks. It was a statement, not just a launch.
Why POP Board Co
POP sells and supports the Rover Marine boats in the US from Lake Forest, California. Real people answer the phone, every boat ships free to the lower 48 and Canada, and we stand behind it with a 5-year hull warranty and a 60-day guarantee. Life is more fun in colour; we build gear that turns any lake, river or coastline into your playground.

What owners say.
“I purchased the 12 foot Battle Cat from Jaeger shortly after the Toronto Boat Show... Wanting to see what this looked like, I inflated it in my rec room. What a beast of a boat! Huge tubes, and quality components.”
Questions.
Does the 10 ft Battle Cat come with a motor?
No. It comes with a manual pump, two aluminum paddles, bench seating and a repair kit. The motor and the Bimini are sold separately. Add one in Build your rig or call 888-978-1503.
Can I register it, and do I need a license?
Yes. Rover Marine boats are MIC certified with the US Coast Guard. Registration and operator rules differ by state and by whether the boat is motorized, so check your state boating agency. The DMV paperwork is mailed to you separately after your order.
Which size should I get?
You are looking at the 10 ft: 4 people, 1,000 lb, up to 10 hp. Not sure? Call 888-978-1503 and we will match the size to your crew and the motor to your water.
Battle Cat or Battle Boat?
The Battle Cat has two pontoons for a wider, steadier stance, so it suits fishing, standing, diving and choppier days. The Battle Boat is a V-style inflatable with the classic tender feel. Same sizes, same prices, same drop-stitch floor.
Is it a good yacht tender?
Yes. Shore runs, guest pickup and marina errands, then it deflates into the locker. Check that the packed size fits your davits, locker or swim platform before you order; the numbers are in the tech specs below.
Can I use it in salt water?
Yes, in protected coastal water, harbors and bays in calm to moderate conditions. It is not an offshore rough-water boat. Rinse with fresh water after salt and dry it fully before you roll it up.
What is a short-shaft outboard?
The shorter motor leg made for small boats and tenders. The transom on every Rover boat is 15 in, so make sure the motor listing says short shaft. Already have one? Send us the model and we will confirm the fit.
How long does setup take?
About 10 to 15 minutes with a high-output pump: floor to 10 PSI, tubes to 3 PSI.
What is the warranty?
5 years on the hull and seams, 3 years on the tubes, 1 year on accessories, covering manufacturing defects. Plus 60-day returns from the day it is delivered: new in the box, you pay only return shipping; used or opened, a 15% to 30% restocking fee. Warranty and Returns and Refunds have the full terms.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Order by December 12 for delivery before Christmas in the lower 48, or by December 5 for Alaska and Hawaii.
Do you ship to Canada?
Yes. Shipping to Canada is free.
