Designed with a singular vision...To deliver unmatched performance and efficiency!

Introducing the insetta 35ifc  – the bar has been raised.

The Insetta 35IFC was designed with a singular vision… to be the best-performing center console sport fishing catamaran in its class.  Enjoy unmatched performance, range, and efficiency thanks to the 35IFC’s hydrofoil-assisted design.

In addition to being the best High-Performance Fishing Catamaran in its class, it also provides a smoother and dryer ride in the rough stuff!

This boat was designed for people who fish, by people who fish!  From its integrated livewells to its cavernous coffin boxes, level open deck layout, massive insulated storage and so much more, this boat was designed for maximum range and fishability!

Here’s what our customers have to say: “Holy crap do I love my 35 IFC with the Merc 300 V8’s on the back. We ran her down to Key Largo the other day, snorkeled all day, got lunch at Shipwrecks Bar and Grill, and ran back. Cruised between 40 and 45 mph, mostly around 42. So smooth it’s nuts. Burned maaaayyybe 40 gallons for the whole day. As we cruised the dashboard was telling us between 1.7 and 1.8 mpg, but I’m pretty sure we cruised more than 40 miles and burned between 35 and 40 gallons, no more. So… suffice it to say that you guys have absolutely crushed it and changed the game here. Fantastic work”! – Alan, Hull #4

Frequently Asked Questions

IFC is Insetta Boatwork's Internal Foiling System.

You can expect a significant increase in cruise speed; Improved handling and stability in rough conditions; Better acceleration; A boat that is less affected by increased payload; A 20-40% increase in fuel efficiency; and a 20-40% further cruise range! Additionally, the IFC technology will also provide a drier ride in choppy conditions and Provide for more responsiveness when turning at speed!

The system is a fixed setup, there is nothing to operate and there are zero moving parts.

The IFC Technology in effect smooths out rough seas by allowing the boat to run from wave crest to wave crest at a relatively smooth and stable attitude. The IFC System creates lift which help to in effect “Carry” the hull higher in the water. The system acts as a set of wings carrying the boat at speed, keeping the hull from having to follow each wave across its entire contour. In other words the surface of the waves have less effect on the hull as the IFC system is lifting the boat. Additionally, the aerodynamic lift created by the catamaran hulls creates even more lift at the bow of the boat, keeping the nose high and preventing the “slamming” or sneezing found in other catamaran hulls.

No, you don’t. The foils are flush mounted to the bottom of the keels of each sponson (as well as up in the tunnel.) At its centerline the main foil of the IFC system is only slightly lower than the keel line. The boat will easily load onto a standard catamaran trailer. There is no big contraption hanging way down under the boat.

Remember, the foils are INTERNAL to the tunnel. At its lowest point the main foil is only slightly lower than the hull and is higher than the props. Because of this the odds of striking the foils are extremely low. The boat is designed to be lifted by the foil. The structural integrity of the foil system is such that the weight of the boat could be supported many times over by the foil. As such, if you did somehow manage to strike the foil on something EXTREMELY SUBSTANTIAL, like a stone shoal, the likely outcome is that you may (in a very worst case scenario) bend or break a foil wing. If that were to happen, you could still operate the boat to port with the remaining foils. The IFC foils are made from a very high-grade stainless steel and designed to meet or exceed relevant guidelines for impact and strength.

As water travels through the tunnel and around the foil, a tremendous vortex is created. This force keeps most debris from being trapped in the tunnel or around the foil. Between the pressure of the air moving through the tunnel, and the vortex created in the water, the tunnel and foils will stay clean and clear.

The outboards of the 35 IFC are mounted on a slight outward angle to place the propellers properly to maximize the thrust and flow efficiency created as the water travels through the tunnel and around the foils. This mounting also helps the boat to lean into a corner, much like a monohull.

Firstly, we’d ask, “Why would you want to?” But the short answer is no. IFC is an integrated system that is integral to the design of the boat.

The short answer is that boats with technology similar to IFC have been in use for many years, but not in the recreational market. Commercial and Military applications are quite prevalent. The initial design of a hull and system like this is quite complex and can be cost prohibitive. We at Insetta feel the gains in efficiency, speed, range and ride quality far outweigh the initial design and build cost.

Upon deciding to build a foiling Cat, Insetta assembled a team of naval Architects and Marine Engineers to refine an existing and proven design. Using their own state of the art construction techniques, Insetta brought an application specific version to the fiberglass Center Console market.

Why did Insetta Boatworks decide to build a boat with IFC?

For decades, Hydrofoil power boats have proven to be the most efficient craft for a variety of offshore operations.

While pursuing a B.S. in physics in 1960, Victor Insetta was employed doing anti-submarine research that utilized high speed Deep-V patrol boats equipped with hydrofoils. Their ability to pursue submarines at high speed, operate safely offshore, and, being foil borne: allowed their hull to run clear of the water avoiding direct hits from torpedoes. Decades later, Vic and his family rode comfortably on hydrofoil ferries in Italy, flying over white capped waves in the bay of Naples.

In 2017, The Insetta 45 was chosen to be the official chase boat of the America’s cup! Four 45’ Insetta’s catamarans were shipped to Bermuda to assist at various cup events. Sailboats, competing from several countries, were catamarans with hydrofoils ! The Insetta 45’s ran parallel to these “foiling sail cats” to assist with TV coverage. The sailing cats were traveling at speeds approaching 50 mph, 2 ½ times the wind speed . Efficient … you bet . They could also turn on a dime at over 40 mph…

It became obvious: that a foiling cat would make a great offshore outboard power boat… Many foil power boat designs in the past, had wide foils that stuck out the sides, increasing their beam and draft. It made them difficult to dock, and they couldn’t operate in shallow waters. Joel Shine (chief operating officer) of Insetta Boatworks found a catamaran design that had hydrofoils mounted in the tunnel, (that location between the tunnel walls actually improves their efficiency), and does not add to its draft. Further improvements could be added by using our ultra-light high strength infused composite construction.

Joel, Vic and our technical staff reviewed the foiling cat’s initial specifications and performance data, and then sea trialed two foiling cats with internal hydrofoils. Our staff includes a second physicist and pilot… Glen Dobbs. We are all active boaters and we determined we would build our version of a foiling outboard powered cat. We contacted a Naval architect, who designed several successful foiling power cats . He is now a member of our technical staff.

Our 35 “foiling cat” design has set the standard for Foil-Assisted Sportfishing boats. The hull, foils, materials, and engines are synergistically combined, to provide: unrivaled high-speed cruising efficiency , and provide safe offshore handling, with unimpeded shallow water operation, including beaching, without foils or props contacting the bottom.

History of Commercial Boats

Commercial boats have a rich and captivating history that spans centuries. From the humble beginnings of primitive rafts used by early civilizations, to the sophisticated vessels of the modern era, these boats have played a vital role in trade and transportation.

Evidence of the earliest commercial boats can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia, where sailing vessels propelled by wind power dominated the waters. As maritime trade expanded, so did the need for sturdier and more efficient ships. The Phoenicians, renowned seafarers and traders, introduced the first notable advancements in boat-building techniques, using long, narrow vessels called galleys for both warfare and commerce.

The Middle Ages witnessed significant developments in commercial boats with the emergence of the cog, a bulky vessel designed for transporting goods across long distances in European waters. Commercial boats became larger and more diverse with the Age of Exploration in the 15th century. The introduction of the caravel and galleon, versatile and formidable sailing ships, revolutionized global trade and expeditions.

In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution brought forth steam-powered boats, marking a paradigm shift in maritime transport. Paddlewheel steamers and, later, luxurious ocean liners like the Titanic became synonymous with commercial travel and prosperity.

Today, commercial boats encompass a wide range of vessel types, from cargo ships and fishing trawlers to container carriers and oil tankers. With technological advancements, these boats continue to evolve, becoming more efficient, eco-friendly, and capable of overcoming any maritime challenge. The history of commercial boats bears witness to humanity's ceaseless ingenuity and resourcefulness, driving global trade and connectivity to new horizons.

Description

Power Catamarans, or "Power Cats" as they are often referred to, are one of the fastest growing segments in the marine industry. Sailing Catamarans have long been the preferred choice of sailors in the Caribbean because of the advantages of having two hulls and a wide beam. For a family enjoying a catamaran experience though, sailing becomes more of a hassle for some. For this reason, many of the yacht charter destinations now offer just as many power cats as sailing cats in their selection. This progression of how the catamarans are used spurred many of the catamaran manufacturers to start producing more power cats.

SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL

When we hear someone has the bug for a power catamaran, it’s a gleaming opportunity for us to elaborate on their wonderful advantages. Different from the benefits of sailing, of course, there’s lots to entice a buyer with from expanded living areas, stability, storage capabilities, and fuel efficiency.

Far from being known as a new trend, the catamaran design has been around since 5th Century India. Sailing catamarans have been a popular choice for cruisers for years, but adding full power to it has really become popular in the last decade.

Below are some of the most well-known power catamaran brands on the market today:

• Aquila Boats
• Endeavour Catamarans
• Fountaine Pajot
• Horizon Power Catamarans
• Leopard Power Catamarans

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding buying a power catamaran

What is a power catamaran?

Power catamarans are simply defined as a multi-hull power boats. Power Catamarans have become increasingly popular in recent decades among recreational boaters for their stability, maneuverability, and roomy, comfortable ride. Although sailing catamarans have been on the seas for centuries, perhaps millennia, recreational power catamarans got their start in the 1970s.

Who invented the catamaran boat?

Catamarans originated with Polynesian people who built catamarans and outrigger canoes to travel to distant islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and by fishermen in Tamil Nardu, India for their stability in various sea conditions. Western development of a catamaran vessel began in the mid 1600s, to allow faster sailing in shallower waters and lighter wind, but didn’t meet with commercial success, and it wasn’t until the 1800s that further development led to the filing of a US Patent. Power catamarans were developed in the early 20th century as submarine salvage vessels and high-speed military transport vessels. The more recent development of the recreational power catamaran combined the best features of a motor yacht - luxurious living and deck area with the stability, speed, and efficiencies of a catamaran. One of the most popular examples is the 43ft Lagoon.

What are some types of catamarans?

Power or Sailing, Trimaran, Fishing (World Cat, Invincible, Barker, Calcutta, Insetta, and the custom Renaissance Prowler are among today’s best, offering stability, improved ride in rough seas, and an open deck layout), Cruising, Passenger (Ferries), Commercial/Industrial, Military, Security & Tactical Support, TrawlerCats, and Long-Range Luxury Catamaran Yachts are some of the catamarans on the water today.

What is the difference between conventional, wave-piercing, and SWATH catamaran hulls?

Traditional catamaran hulls are more banana-shaped, designed to ride on top of waves, with the geometry of the vessel creating stability, whereas the wave-piercing hulls extend forward and are reversed—longer at bottom than top/bow and sharper, allowing them to slice through waves for greater speed and less pitching, due to their lower buoyancy. More racing catamarans are built with wave-piercing hull technologies for speed advantages. Cruising catamarans in the superyacht category are utilizing wave-piercing hulls for the smoothness and performance advantages. Large passenger ferries and military catamaran ships utilize this type of hull for its speed and smooth ride through waves; the bridge deck may be configured like a regular v-hull, allowing it to penetrate wave crests. The SWATH (small water-plane area twin hull) catamarans employ tubular, submarine-like hulls that are completely submerged and connected by pylons to the bridge deck using a small cross section at the waterline. This type of hull was invented in the mid-1930s and is used for large research vessels and military craft for running in heavy seas as displacement volume is completely below waterline. This enables the ship to resist pitch and heaving, as there is no possibility of hull planing. Today’s builders of cruising power catamarans utilize the best hull technologies for increased efficiencies and safety.

Is a pontoon boat a type of catamaran?

Depending on boat size, pontoon boats ride on 2 or 3 aluminum flotation tubes called pontoons, that support and are covered by the open deck, and are not accessible from the deck; they serve to float the boat. A railing with fence paneling or seating upholstery runs along the deck perimeter, and they are typically outfitted for lounging and entertaining (nicknamed “party barges”), though many today are luxurious, and as speedy as runabouts and used for watersports. There are two types of pontoons: recreational and houseboats. Catamarans differ greatly in that the main deck rests on 2 or 3 (trimaran) hulls that are accessible living and/or storage space, and catamarans can be built with a flybridge deck. The catamaran hull is built for cruising/running offshore and inshore waterways, whereas the pontoon boats are open deck boats primarily designed for lakes, bays, rivers that are quieter waters. Catamarans tend to be wider and larger than pontoon boats, but each is a distinct category with its own purpose and market. Pontoons tend to serve the entry-level family recreational market. Both have seen an increase in popularity in the recreational boating industry.

Are power catamarans better than monohull powerboats?

Catamarans offer more deck and interior space per foot than monohulls, meaning a 40ft powercat can have as much space (in and out) as a 50ft monohull powerboat. Even a smaller powercat can have easily accessed 3-4 cabins with opening ports in hull windows for ventilation and light, plus the greater privacy of separate hull space, an ideal feature for charters. Inherently, the wide-apart hull configuration provides a more stable platform while underway or to stay level at anchor, unlike a monohull that can roll. Having twin engines and propellers set wide apart allows catamarans greater maneuverability and a shallower draft for island cruising—some catamarans can be beached! Having two hulls creates inherent redundancy with engines, props, water pumps, and extra space for additional equipment like generators, watermakers, and more. Catamarans with wave-piercing hulls have even greater efficiencies.

( Seen below: The living areas on a catamaran offer great space inside and out. )

Of course, there are some disadvantages, as with any category of vessel. One drawback is the cost to store and maintain a catamaran is higher, as marina dockage isn’t always accommodating of the catamaran’s greater beam and with two hulls/engines, maintenance and detailing costs may double. Haul-out costs are higher as well. The preference of one type of boat over another is completely personal; which best meets your priorities and usage plans? Do a cost benefit analysis—does the boat’s features and benefits outweigh any drawbacks?

What are the most popular current brands of cruising power catamarans?

Current brands to consider are Lagoon, Leopard (Robertson & Caine), Fountaine-Pajot, Sunreef, Nautitech, Horizon, Aquila, Makai, Bali Catspace MY, Hudson Powercat, Aspen Power Catamarans, Horizon, Endeavour TrawlerCat, Heliotrope 48, and the Leen 56 (a new trimaran long range cruiser and liveaboard). PDQ is no longer in production, but still popular, especially for cruising the eastern Great Loop. Common to all are the alfresco relaxation deck areas that seamlessly blend with interior deck area. There are also many one-of-a-kind custom power catamarans.

What does a 43-45 ft power catamaran cost?

Pre-owned 43-45ft power catamarans from 2010 to 2019 ranged in price from $398,000 to $1,075,000 for a median of $736,500. The main brands were Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Aquila, and Lagoon. From 2000 to 2009, the price ranged from $202,000 to $528,000 for a median of $365,000. Main brands were Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, and Lagoon. Of course, there are other costs to consider, such as marina dockage, service and maintenance including haul-outs, and insurance, to mention a few.

What are the best power catamarans for offshore cruising?

According to the Oct 2020 issue of Passagemaker magazine, the Nautitech 47 power catamaran features load-carrying semi-displacement hulls give the Nautitech 47 a distinct performance advantage for bluewater (ocean) cruising. Other recommended models are the new Leen 56 trimaran long range cruiser designed for Transatlantic voyages. The main diesel engine is in the center hull and electric drives are in the two outer hulls (called amas). The Leopard 53 Powercat can be run from the lower helm with excellent visibility in air-conditioned comfort and features 6’8” and 6’10” headroom! Bali Catspace Motor Yacht (Catana Group) is nearly 39ft of luxurious outside/inside living space. Utilizing the latest innovations, the shape of her hulls and integral deck gives this power catamaran excellent seakeeping qualities. The 60 Sunreef Power is a versatile, modern motoryacht in Sunreef Yachts’ sporty Power line-up of catamarans in 60, 70, 80, and 100ft lengths. These are just a few examples. Fountaine-Pajot has been building catamarans since 1976; latest models are as luxurious and seaworthy as any world-class power motoryacht, with catamaran advantages.

Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot, Sunreef, Leopard, Horizon, and other power catamarans are extremely popular for island charter cruises as they offer the power catamaran advantages of stability, speed, efficiency, spaciousness (wide beam interiors, private staterooms below deck), and relaxation with lots of deck space and 360-degree panoramic views! With their shallower draft, the swift powercats are great for island hopping in the Bahamas or BVI, and elsewhere in the world with beautiful archipelagos, reefs, and pretty islands to explore!
