At the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 25-29, 2026, along Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach), Rover Marine will showcase its flagship drop-stitch inflatable skiffs, the Battle Boat and Battle Cat, designed for South Florida's challenging waters. These military-grade tenders emphasize durability, performance, and portability for yacht owners and ICW navigators.
Rover Marine's booth, in partnership with POP Board Co. (see their coverage in this series), will highlight two models optimized for local conditions like ICW chop, Peanut Island sandbars, and superyacht davits.
The Battle Boat features a deep V-hull for a dry ride through wakes, lightweight construction for easy hoisting, and durable PVC that doubles as a fender to protect the mothership's gel coat. The Battle Cat's twin-hull catamaran design ensures lateral stability and minimal draft for shallow waters. Both deflate and roll up compactly for lazarette or SUV storage—ideal for davit-free boaters.
Built with USCG-compliant military-grade drop-stitch floors for rigidity, UV-resistant hulls for Florida sun, and reinforced transoms for high-torque outboards like Yamaha gas engines or Torqeedo electric systems, these skiffs outlast low-quality inflatables. They come with strong warranties and U.S.-based support.
Enhance the experience by pairing with POP Board Co.'s 8-inch-thick inflatable docks, adding 50-100 sq ft of floating patio for sandbar lounging, dive prep, or family play.
