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.
