Watercat M9

Watercat M9 is based on the successful Watercat M8 design used by Swedish Armed Forces and the Finnish and German Navies. It is a fast-landing craft, which can carry 10 people with their equipment. Eight passengers have saddle-type seats in front of the steering console. This vessel is designed and manufactured especially for river and coastal operations.

Watercat M9 can operate in very shallow waters (less than 1 metre deep), ideal for disaster and crisis areas. The low draft in high speed (approximately 40 cm) enables the boat to operate along shallow beaches or land on the beach. The hull of the vessel is made of aluminium and the construction is all welded. The propulsion is from one water jet powered by a diesel engine giving a service speed over 30 knots with full load.
