NOOSA CAT's heritage stretches right back to 1972, when
Australia's famous SharkCat brand of powered catamarans was created by
a professional fisherman, Bruce Harris.
They were big, strong fibreglass boats with unheard stability, an incredibly
soft ride, and an ability to handle ocean entrances and sand barred river
crossings like no other craft ever seen before.
From those 'rough and tumble' days of abalone divers, drop line fishermen and
the developing Australian Coastguard and Sea Rescue organisations in the
1970's, the legendary SharkCat reputation was born.
When Harris retired his SharkCat interest in the early 1980's, several
other entrepreneurs took over the reins, but the brand languished on the
sidelines for nearly a decade.

Wayne Hennig, the present owner and M.D.,
was able to pick up the pieces in 1990. Over the last 10 years Wayne
Hennig managed to put back the legendary performance standards, provided
financial integrity and re-introduced stable management. The NOOSA CAT production
facility at Noosaville, Queensland is now comprising more than 40.000 square
feet.
NOOSA CAT of today is again writing an exiting new chapter in
boat history. Find a nasty ocean bar anywhere along the Australian coast and
chances are there'll be a NOOSA CAT standing by, either in the hands of
various Police and Rescue groups or serious commercial and recreational 'fishos'
and divers in Australia.
NOOSA CATS are used by virtually every statutory
or governmental authority dealing with ocean and waterways. This includes the
Army, Navy and Air Force. As well such is their incredible offshore - all weather
capability - they form nowadays the backbone of Australia's Search and Rescue
fleet.
NOOSA CATS are exported virtually into all corners of the world. The
bigger boats made unprecedented inroads into the US market.

Catamarans are again the benchmark for rough-water performance, and it's a
heritage the present company is proud to perpetuate.
