Skater Powerboats

Racing Pedigree

Founded in 1974

Flexible Design and Power

Fully Custom

World Leaders in Design

Welcome to skater powerboats.

Those who crave tear-duct draining, cheek-smearing velocity on the water know there is only only one king: Skater! When it comes to performance, the automobile world has Ferrari and Lamborghini, while motorcyclists long to ride a Ducati or BMW.

The Number One builder of high-performance catamarans in the world has been in business for 50 years.

Skater is the standard by which all other high-performance boat manufacturers are compared. The sleekest in design, the fastest, and the most sought-after Skater is the Bugatti of the water.

Founded and led by Peter Hledin in 1974, Skater prides itself on being at the leading edge of technology. The Skater, Michigan-based company that covers 95,000 square feet was the first to perfect the use of vacuum-bagging technology, S-glass, kevlar, carbon fiber, epoxy resins and other construction techniques in the high performance industry and we use those construction techniques on every boat we build.

Skater does not build ‘off-the-line’ boats. From the interior to the paint to the power package and everything in between, every catamaran is fully customizable to meet each client’s needs. From subtle to spectacular in design but always stunning in performance, Skater excels above the rest.

Handling Like No Other

Every Skater has world-renown on-rails handling and incredible responsiveness

The Standard Bearer in the Offshore World

Even though others have tried to replicate the Skater hull countless times, we’re still the industry leader in all-around performance and speed

No Duplicates

Like human DNA, no two Skaters are the same.  Each one is built to the precise standards and expectations of our clients

Discover ocean express power catamarans, find out what makes ocean express boats unique.

Ocean Express Powerboats are designed to utilize the full benefits of a catamaran hull over the traditional V-Hull alternative. Our designs have been honed and perfected over 43 years of experience on the racing circuit.

Our racing heritage and winning edge have given us a unique perspective on the key elements that combine to take full advantage of fuel efficiency, ultimate control and handling and the optimal power to weight ratios for composite material hulls.

The Catamaran difference

Just like religion and politics, people are passionate about their judgment and preferences about all manner of things. If you’re passionate one way or the other hull configuration, far be it from us to try and convert you. We simply offer our observations and experiences on the advantages of the catamaran. You be the judge…

Cost Effective

Based on our racing experience, power catamarans generally produce about 25% better fuel economy. For example, running at 35 to 40 mph, a cat will consume around 3 miles per gallon.

Enhanced Control

Catamaran motor centers range from 72” to 88” apart, allowing for better maneuvering around docks; A V-Hull is typically 24” apart. Most v-bottoms need bow thrusters and/or joystick controls for enhanced control and maneuverability in tight spaces.

Superior Ride

Our twin-V offshore power catamarans run on top of the water. Gliding over 24 steps and utilizing a large air entrapment tunnel producing a 40% softer ride.

A catamaran offers a markedly more stable ride over its V-hull counterpart. The side-to-side motion is almost non-existent.

What sets Ocean Express apart…

Yes, we are blowing our horn, here. We’ve learned a few lessons over the years and we’d just like to share a few of the key attributes that set us apart from the crowd.

DCB Performance Marine, LLC

The evolution of the DCB Performance Boats high-performance catamaran lineup continues with its first true-tunnel-style boat—the extraordinary M37R, a new outboard engine-powered 37-foot cat designed with a 65-inch tunnel and no center pod. At 37 feet, 6 inches long with a 10-foot, 6-inch beam, the 37-footer features the company’s unparalleled workmanship quality combined with its state-of-the-art boat design and production processes.

In collaboration with Franco Gianni of SFG Yacht Design, DCB designed the M37R for a pair of the most-powerful Mercury Racing outboard engines—the new supercharged 4.6-liter V-8 450R—and set it up with the throttles and shifters in a console between the buckets seats for the driver and co-pilot—also a first for the performance boat builder.

The ideal high-performance boats, who needs high-performance boats.

We all have our own tastes and preferences. In as far as boating is concerned, the same case applies. Some of us prefer boats that are low maintenance and those that are smooth and easy to navigate. There is yet another cluster of us that is thrilled by high-performance options. For boaters who want some adrenaline, high-performance boats are the best as they offer speed while on the water.

The powerboats that are performance-oriented come in different sizes. They can be anywhere between 20 to over 50 feet. They usually ride in a catamaran and V-bottom hulls . They range from the small, small outboard engine catamarans to greater high-performance consoles. There are also the closed deck V bottoms that come with full canopies and with inboard power.

The amenities that are provided in the high-performance boats for sale also differ from one to the next. This is something that has to be considered when you are actively searching for a boat. There are luxurious options that have complete cabins and can be used for weekend getaways.

There are also smaller 34-foot catamarans that could have around six seats in the cockpit but nothing else below deck. It is, therefore, important to know the boat inside out before you purchase, the choice depends on the kind of experience and amenities you want to access while on the water.

Activities that can be enjoyed with high-performance boats

High-performance boats are often designed to deliver great thrill at great speed. However, this is not the only thing that can be done if you happen to own one of these; there are many organized activities that owners of such boats can enjoy on the water and in all different seasons.

Some of the popular activities include poker runs. These involve performance in fleets. The boats run from one point to the next to collect cards. The participants get to play the cards once the activity is over. This gives them a chance to earn some prizes and have a good time with other thrill lovers. There are also different brands that host events. These are usually organized by different boat builders. There are also fun runs and luck runs that different clubs organize at different times of the year.

High-performance boats and social platforms

The events held for high-performance marine boats are a great opportunity to be social and to interact. Apart from these events, you notice that if you choose a console that is performance-oriented, then there are many open spaces and bountiful seating areas within. The newer models have stopped using the traditional setups that were most popular in the past and now embrace the ones with greater space.

The models falling in this category can range from anywhere between 34-60 feet. This means that there is a lot of seating space for passengers. This is what makes them such a great choice for anyone who wants an elevated social experience. This gives you the opportunity to bond with friends and family, especially if you all enjoy the thrill of speed on the water.

Ultimate canvas on high-performance boats for customization

There is no other boat category that offers customization opportunities than the boats within the high-performance area. The high performance speed boats come with elaborate paint jobs and this seems to be the rule in the fast boating world. There are builders who match the interior colors to the ones on the exterior. In as far as power is concerned; the buyers have many outboard and stern-drive options to think about. However, this greatly depends on the kind of model that has been chosen. The options you can access are usually limited by the budget you are working within.

High-performance boat ownership

Whether you pick small high performance boats or big ones are usually dictated by your budget or your taste. In most cases, the best high performance boats ownership seems to be a bit higher compared to other kinds of powerboats available in the market. There are new model prices that can be as low as six figures but can also go past one million. The high speeds achieved could be up to 180 MPH. The high speed boats for sale also come with very powerful engines and they are a bit expensive to insure compared to the counterparts like pontoon boats or Bowriders.
