Alucat W25 Cabin 8

A powercat à la carte

Somewhat atypical, this workboat-like powercat can be transformed into a comfortable day cruiser or fishing boat, depending on the customer’s wishes. This “à la carte” offer accumulates the advantages of a catamaran over a monohull, but also those of a boat with a layout that’s, well, à la carte.

The Alucat’s hull is based on a competition boat, a good way to combine work and performance with excellent handling.

Although primarily a workboat, the Alucat has an elegant, almost sporty look.

In 2013, the W8, a small open powercat particularly popular with fishermen, was launched as a more versatile project that could meet the needs of both professional and leisure users.
Since then, the company has continued to develop its range, and has even moved into a new factory i...
