Cheetah 720 Adventure Catamaran
The Cheetah Adventure 720 is the first in a joint venture between Cheetah Marine and RS Electric Boats. This new ‘drop-sided’ family catamaran is an affordable, lowmaintenance, all-purpose ‘off road’ leisure boat that allows owners to safely explore the coast beyond the crowded tourist hot spots.
Based on the proven Cheetah 7.2 Series the Cheeta Adventure 720 provides a spacious deck for socialising, storage and even overnighting with the optional onboard Adventure Tent. The unique drop-down starboard side provides an easy access for loading and unloading from the deck as well as ‘in-water’ unhooking and release of big game fish such as sharks. The open deck layout is a blank canvas with the flexibility for the owner to add options to suit the fishing layout they want. Optional extras include an onboard toilet, BBQ, galley, freshwater deck shower, deck tent, fishing rod holders, and more. The Adventure is available with three engine options to suit budget and required performance. Twin 80hp, 90hp or 100hp and twin 100 litre fuel tanks. What’s more, it can be legally road towed in the UK and on the continent and easily dry stored and slipway launched.
