The Portless Catamaran has been developed by DDD Manufaktúra as an inflatable vessel for use in a range of different bodies of water to provide passengers with a comfortable way to get around.
The vessel features a portable design thanks to its inflatable construction that reveals a 14.8-foot design after being pumped up. Passengers can enjoy a nine-square-meter main deck along with three-square-meters of space on the upper level to make it perfect for multilevel enjoyment.
The Portless Catamaran is powered by an electric outboard motor along with a 1.3kWh lithium-polymer battery that's rated for up to 16-nautical miles of range. A 200W solar panel, however, can be used to extend the range infinitely for extended day trips that don't have any downtime.
