A Shoalwater Cat is a catamaran-style shallow-water fishing boat built by Shoalwater in Texas. Instead of a single V-shaped hull, a Shoalwater Cat uses a twin-hull, tunnel design that lets it run in just inches of water while staying stable and dry. This makes it ideal for reaching skinny-water flats and backcountry spots that other boats cannot. Shoalwater Cats come in sizes from about 19 to 26 feet, and the larger models are quick and smooth enough to double as family and recreational boats. The Cat is the design Shoalwater is best known for.
