We expect initial production boat deliveries to begin in late spring / early summer 2024, barring any large unforeseen delays or complications. Initial production boats will be built in a serial fashion. With reservations fulfilled in the order they were received. We will make best efforts to maintain this target, and promptly inform you of any changes, but we will also prioritize “get it right” over “get it right now”!

The introductory price for a preproduction reserved boat is $24,800 plus applicable sales tax. A deposit of $500 is required for reservations. Reservations will be filled in the order they were received. You may cancel your reservation and the deposit will be refundable at any time, less any credit card fees incurred on transfers. The reservation deposit will be credited against an eventual build contract. The build contract will be agreed two weeks prior the start of boat building with 50% due at signing and the remainder due on delivery.

Your deposit monies will NOT be used in or for operation expenses or other purposes. They will be held in a separate deposit account until either a build contract is signed or they are returned.

Immediate Options or Accessories are those we expect to be available either at or just after first unit production. Several are already used on the prototype boat. Prices are TBD.

• Gel Coat Color – Initially there will be ~5 standard gel coat colors selectable for the Hulls, Motor Cover, Ventilation Plate and Wire Chases at no additional charge. Standard Hull caps and decks will be white. (At present the proposed standard colors are SeaFoam Green, Silver/Grey, Golden Yellow, Dark Blue and Coral/Pink)
• Custom Gel coat Colors will be available and subject to an additional cost.
• Full Graphics hull wraps Custom patterns, pictures or Company branding can be added.
• Color Coordinated seat cushion – A seat cushion covered in Heavy duty marine canvas (Sunbrella) with zip off washable cover. The pad is closed cell foam as used in life jackets, but it is not considered /rated as a life saving device.
• Color coordinated drink/cup/can/bottle holders that fit into the wine glass receptacles in the arms. Also in Sunbrella – some may consider these life saving devices?
• A removable cocktail/ snack table matching the wood of the seat.
• Coordinated Cooler- the present boat carries a YETI – 45.
• Cooler Seat Back – an Aluminum Frame and Mesh seat back for comfortably using the cooler as a seat.
• Padded Marine Decking – May be customized in color and engraved.
• Custom Aluminum trailer package.
• Coordinated docking lines, fenders and folding anchor package.

Future options are those options and accessories we do not expect to be deliverable on the first production. The Cattina specific options (Bluetooth control with GPS Navigation, and power top) are now underdevelopment and will be retrofittable to first production boats.

• A Bluetooth enabled wireless handheld controller with GPS module will be available, allowing GPS based anchoring, heading/ direction following and pointing type control. Interfacing with commercial navigation and plotting packages enables route following and recording.
• Power operated top, raising/lowering and extending/retracting will be controlled with a handheld controller.
• Additional LED lighting packages both below the top and underwater water (fish lights), as well as sound system packages will be added at a future date.
