FAQS

The CaraBoat was designed as a boat, and the high freeboard means it rarely gets wet when you’re underway. So yes, you can travel with the windows open to make the most of the breeze and not get wet. Of course, all windows should be closed in adverse weather conditions.

There is a large amount of storage space with built-in cupboards, roof lockers, a full-height pantry, rear-deck compartments, and bow spaces. Large items can also be stored on the roof.

We have kept this as easy as possible with only 3 steps from the ground to the rear deck.

If you’re parked against a jetty or wharf, access is via the side at the rear. If pulled up on a beach or riverbank, simply walk on in no more than ankle-deep water.

Launch and retrieval are extremely easy with the cleverly designed trailer. Side rails guide the boat on and off, and the hull is designed to lock onto the trailer support skids, securing it and limiting movement during land transport. The CaraBoat can be launched with one person. However, using two people is recommended.

Yes, and on the 870 model we can even supply a stainless steel ladder to make this easy. You can then take a towel or a chair up and enjoy the views. Plus if required you can then use the roof for storage for say kayaks, fishing rods and other gear. Speak to our team about your exact requirements.

The mooring cleats fold neatly so they don’t get caught on things when not in use. When you need to secure your boat to a jetty, simply click them open.

Yes, an additional 2.4 cu ft top-opening fridge or freezer can be fitted to the rear of the boat. This is featured in our demonstration model so you can see exactly what it will look like.

The CaraBoat isn’t recommended for open ocean use. It’s designed for calm, inland waters and will comfortably handle wind chop up to 0.3 meters. You should always operate the CaraBoat to suit the prevailing conditions to provide a safe & smooth ride.

Yes, you can get an electric trailer winch installed if you want. However, this isn’t needed or recommended, as the CaraBoat is designed to simply float onto the trailer.

The CaraBoat connects to power and water similarly to any other rv. The shore power inlet is located on the rear deck. Water is held in an onboard tank and supplied by a 12-volt pump. Tanks are filled via a deck-fill fitting built into the rear deck. You can also connect directly to mains pressure and bypass the water storage system.

The lightweight fibreglass hull requires very little maintenance and there’s no risk of corrosion. Simply wash exposed areas with fresh water from time to time, flush the engines after use and perform standard maintenance tasks as required.
