A BOAT SO STABLE
YOU CAN RIDE WAVES

Really.
You can ride waves

What makes Waverider Boats so unique is their reverse chine; it's super wide and full length. Both design features are instrumental to the performance of Waveriders and have been tried and tested for 9 years by the customers of Kapten Boat Collars. These foam stabilizers form the same reverse chine shape when fitted to a vessel and won a Gold award at the Australian 2019 Good Design Awards.

Waverider Boats are the next evolution of Kapten Boat Collars. Quality plate boats, with stability, safety and performance that's unbeatable.

Stable
as a cat

The hull's width at waterline is similar to a catamaran, for similar stability. Board, fish and move around freely, without a second thought.

Stability
SOFT & DRY
RIDES

With the most aggressive reverse chine on the market, your spray is turned down and used to cushion the ride.

FLOTATION

You get the safest flotation (that's required by law for commercial boats) as standard. Relax with that great peace-of-mind.

Safest flotation
HYDROFOIL
OPTION

With hydrofoils to lift your bow above chop, you can zoom home in comfort, and they don't interfere with fishing lines.

WAVERIDER: THE EASY-RIDER

AUTO CORRECTS

In following seas & bar crossings, the bow is hydrodynamically forced to lift, preventing nose-diving and broaching.

OPTIONAL HYDROFOIL

Take the hydrofoils designed into your hull to the ultimate comfort, with the addition of retractable hydrofoils.

DRIVE-ON DRIVE-OFF

SOFTENED RIDE

The wide reverse chine traps spray and pressurises it, slowing and softening downward impact. 

STABILITY OF A CAT

At water level, Waveriders are as wide as a catamaran, to give you the same easy-use stability.

LEVEL FLOTATION

To maintain maximum possible stability and safety for crew, in the event of water entering the hull.

So you're wondering how on earth hydrofoils work on a trailer boat. Here, Pat, the designer of Waveriders, explains everything your're curious about.

HYDROFOIL PATENT # 2012101872.
NEXT LEVEL COMFORT

Every Waverider comes with hydrofoil aspects built into the aggressive reverse chine, which runs the full length of the hull. This produces amazing hydrodynamic lift to the entire boat, even at the bow, which is important to help prevent nose diving.

If you like to travel far offshore, where you're likely to encounter rough seas, you'll love the comfort of additional retractable, submerged hydrofoils to be installed -- a first for mass produced trailer boats in Australia!

Special attention has been paid to the design, to allow the hydrofoils to be fully retractable for fishing while at rest and for ease of travel on trailers. You only need to lower them when you need them, otherwise they stay up and out of the way, under the reverse chine of the hull.

The difference of Waverider boats, when compared to regular monohulls, is like comparing a 4WD to an average sedan.

Most boats are only suitable for fair-weather close-to-shore fishing trips. Not the Waveriders. They're built for long-distance travel through rough weather.

When you want to go further off-road in your 4WD, you've got to add lift-kits & hard core suspension to make it, let alone make it in comfort - which are comparable to adding  submerged hydroils to your Waverider. It's making the best boat even better!
