ProGlider Boats manufactures the HyperGlider line of personal catamarans. Our boats are custom built to order from our production facility here in Port Charlotte. We are a fairly new manufacturer as we have been in production for a little over three years. Our high-quality boats are lightweight, stable, easy to operate, and a whole lot of fun. They are ideal for coastal cruising, fishing, sandbar parties, snorkeling, diving, or visiting your favorite waterfront restaurants.
The streamlined and durable hulls provide low drag and high efficiency resulting in maximum performance (27-35mph in ideal conditions). The width provides stability, and the sleek, buoyant hulls enhance movement in shallow water. Our boats can float in just 5 inches of water. You’ll need at least 12 inches of water to power forward. That allows you to venture back into shallow areas that are typically unavailable to most watercrafts. The HyperGlider accelerates and gets up on the plane quickly for a smooth ride.
When designing the HyperGlider we wanted to create a vessel that took the stress out of boating and made getting out on the water easier. We all love big boats, but there is a lot of planning and boat maintenance that require extra time and resources. That’s where our personal catamarans fit in. There’s very little hassle involved when planning a day on the water. Even the cleanup is a breeze.
We offer a fully transferable 5-year warranty, and we take great pride in making sure each of our boats are well made and reliable. Our 5/5/1 warranty includes five years on the structural hull, five years limited warranty on the motor, and one year on all accessory items not already covered.
We’ll be showcasing our HyperGlider at the Charlotte County and Stuart Boat Show January 12-14, the St. Petersburg Boat Show January 18-21, the Big Boy Toyz Expo in Port Charlotte February 16-19, the Nautical Flea-Market in Islamorada February 24-25, the Bonita Springs Boat Show February 29 through March 5, The Wharf Boat Show in Orange Beach, Alabama March 15-17, the Outdoors Expo & Boat Show in Tampa April 5-7, and the Boca H20 Fest Memorial Day Weekend.
