Since its establishment in 1969, Cougar Powerboats has been a beacon of innovation and excellence in the power boating world. Pioneered by visionaries Clive Curtis, James Beard, and Chris Hodges, and now spearheaded by the multiple World Champion Steve Curtis, the brand is synonymous with high performance and cutting-edge technology in both mono and multihull powerboat designs.
Cougar Powerboats' journey over the last 50 years is a testament to their unyielding commitment to technical advancements. With each make and model, from commercial and military crafts to top-tier racing and luxury leisure boats, Cougar showcases its prowess in creating lightweight, high-strength structures, maximizing performance on water.
Marking an epoch in offshore powerboat racing, Cougar was the originator of the catamaran design that first clinched an international race victory. This breakthrough set a precedent, cultivating an era of dominance underpinned by Cougar’s subsequent global acknowledgements, including shaping Honda’s one-design race series and alignment with the illustrious Spirit of Qatar team.
At its core, Cougar Powerboats is dedicated to tailor-made excellence. The firm’s philosophy extends beyond volume manufacture, focusing on custom-built crafts to meet individual client specifications. Each boat, including the iconic 6-metre rigid inflatable boat, is a result of rigorous testing, technological innovation, and a lineage of racing-derived insights, ensuring unparalleled quality and performance.
