Landing Craft

Waterjet propulsion makes landing operations possible on even the shallowest beaches with this 37’ catamaran. The hull structure provides a sizeable foredeck as well as a comfortable ride for up to fifteen passengers in the aft-situated cabin. The vessel can be boarded either via the jet guard at the stern or through the hydraulic bow door, which can be lowered or raised with controls at both the bow and the helm station. Lifting eyes incorporated to the interior hull sides facilitate transportation to landlocked or distant locations.

The small pilothouse on the aft deck of this 40’ landing craft expands usable deck space to its fullest. Designed for use in the aquaculture field, a bench with tank storage and a ladder mounted on the T-transom enable diving operations, while the hydraulic bow door makes the deployment of divers and equipment easy and ergonomic. A removable davit and side boarding doors on each side further assists cargo loading, as heavy-duty push knees and a tow post add to the vessel’s capabilities. Once beached and laden, an aft windlass combined with a kedging anchor can be used to help pull the boat back into the water.

When it comes to transporting passengers and cargo, Armstrong Marine’s 47’ classic tunnel catamaran (CTC) provides the definitive platform, perfect for ferrying payloads, landing excursion tours along the beach, or cruising on sightseeing trips alike. With seating for 30 inside the cabin, an onboard head, and small counter for coffee or snacks, passengers will enjoy the ride in comfort. In addition to its large foredeck, the 4715-CTC is also configurable with rooftop kayak rack, push knees, engine guards, and heavy-duty rub strakes.

Made for high speed operations, the 5216-RCM serves as a highly maneuverable platform. Triple waterjets provide a shallow draft underway, and the wide hydraulic ramp design allows for vehicle loading directly on and off the vessel from the shoreline. Designed to serve between multiple islands in unprotected water, low gunnels ease hauling cargo over the side, as large freeing ports keep water out. The offset pilot house maximizes available deck space, granting this vessel the ability to transport greater payload in less trips.
