Fishing from a Kolibri Sea Cat: The Ultimate Inflatable Fishing Boat Setup

Looking for a versatile inflatable fishing boat that’s easy to transport, comfortable on the water and ready for your next fishing adventure? The Kolibri Sea Cat inflatable catamaran offers a practical option for Australian anglers who want to explore rivers, lakes, sheltered coastal waters and more.

At River to Ocean Adventures, we stock the Kolibri Sea Cat range alongside a selection of accessories designed to make your time on the water more enjoyable. From the Universal Fixing Block to the tube-mounted Fishing Bag with Fastening, you can customise your Sea Cat to suit the way you fish.

Whether you’re chasing a quiet morning on the river, exploring a remote fishing spot or heading out for a day on the water, here’s how to get more from your Kolibri Sea Cat.

Why choose a Kolibri Sea Cat for fishing?

Unlike a traditional inflatable boat, the Kolibri Sea Cat features a catamaran-style design with two parallel inflatable tubes, a fixed transom and an Air Deck floor system. This design provides a spacious platform for fishing and general boating.

Here are some of the features that make the Sea Cat worth considering for anglers.

1. A stable platform for fishing

When you’re fishing, having room to move and organise your equipment makes a difference. The Sea Cat’s twin-tube design and wide layout provide a practical platform for casting, handling tackle and enjoying time on the water.

As with any small boat, movement should be controlled and weight distributed appropriately. Always follow the manufacturer’s capacity limits and take care when standing or moving around.

2. Four sizes to suit different adventures

The Kolibri Sea Cat range is available in four sizes, so you can choose a model that suits your fishing style, crew and equipment.

• Sea Cat 300: A compact option for anglers who prioritise portability and smaller outings.
• Sea Cat 340: A versatile size for solo fishing trips or fishing with a companion.
• Sea Cat 380: More room for fishing gear and longer days on the water.
• Sea Cat 420: The largest model in the range, offering additional space for anglers carrying more equipment.

Payload capacities, passenger limits and maximum motor ratings vary by model, so check the individual product specifications before choosing your boat.

3. Portable and convenient

One of the biggest advantages of an inflatable fishing boat is the ability to pack it away when it’s not in use. The Kolibri Sea Cat range is designed to be transported in bags, making it an appealing option for people who want to take their fishing adventures beyond their usual local spots.

It’s also worth considering for caravan travellers, campers and anyone who wants a versatile boat without permanently storing a large rigid-hull vessel.

The best Kolibri Sea Cat accessories for fishing

A well-equipped fishing boat isn’t just about the hull. Having somewhere to store your tackle, mount your electronics and keep essential equipment organised can make a big difference to your time on the water.

Here are some of the Kolibri accessories to consider when building your fishing setup.

1. Kolibri Universal Fixing Block

A practical mounting solution for your fishing equipment.

The Kolibri Universal Fixing Block⁠ is one of the most useful accessories to consider when setting up a Sea Cat for fishing.

The block provides a mounting platform for compatible fishing equipment. It is designed to accommodate a fish finder or sonar unit on top, with space underneath for its battery. It can also hold two fishing rods.

This helps keep important equipment together instead of having rods, electronics and accessories scattered around the boat.

Why anglers will appreciate it:

• Provides a dedicated mounting point for compatible fishing equipment.
• Accommodates a fish finder or sonar unit and its battery.
• Offers storage for up to two fishing rods.
• Includes the components needed for installation, including adhesive.

The fixing block is particularly useful if you want to add fishing functionality while keeping your setup neat and practical.

Before installing, check the product instructions and ensure the mounting position and equipment are suitable for your boat and intended use.

2. Kolibri Fishing Bag with Fastening

Keep your fishing essentials close at hand without cluttering the floor.

Every angler knows how quickly a boat can become cluttered with lures, pliers, hooks, line and small tackle boxes. The Kolibri Fishing Bag with Fastening offers a convenient way to organise these smaller essentials.

Unlike a conventional bag that sits on the floor, this accessory is designed to attach directly to the inflatable boat’s tubes. That makes use of otherwise unused space and helps keep the main fishing area clearer.

It’s a particularly useful addition when you want your frequently used fishing gear within easy reach.

You could use the bag to organise:

• Lures and soft plastics
• Hooks and sinkers
• Fishing line and leaders
• Pliers and fishing scissors
• Small tackle boxes
• Fish grips and other compact tools

With your smaller accessories organised in one place, you’ll spend less time searching through loose gear and more time concentrating on fishing.

3. Kolibri Under-Seat Storage Bag

If you need additional storage, the Kolibri Under-Seat Storage Bag makes use of the space beneath the bench seat.

This is a convenient place to keep equipment you don’t need to access constantly, helping you maintain a tidy deck while making the most of the boat’s available space.

Consider storing spare tackle, personal items, sunscreen, snacks or other small essentials. Keep anything that must remain dry in an appropriately sealed waterproof container.

4. Kolibri Removable Soft Seat

Fishing can mean several hours on the water, so comfort matters.

A Kolibri Removable Soft Seat adds padding to your seating arrangement and can make longer sessions more comfortable. It’s worth considering if you regularly head out for early-morning fishing trips or spend extended periods waiting for a bite.

Choose the compatible seat for your Sea Cat model and position it so you can fish comfortably while maintaining good balance and access to your equipment.

5. Kolibri Bimini Shade

Australian sunshine can be relentless, particularly when you’re spending several hours on the water.

A compatible Kolibri Bimini Shade provides overhead shade and can make a long fishing session more comfortable. It’s a useful addition for anglers fishing during warmer months or taking family members along.

Remember that shade does not eliminate UV exposure. Continue using sunscreen, protective clothing and other sun-safety measures.

Check compatibility and ensure the shade is appropriate for the conditions in which you intend to operate your boat.

6. Kolibri 12V Pump

If you’re regularly taking your Sea Cat fishing, a 12V pump can be a convenient upgrade.

Rather than relying entirely on manual inflation, a compatible electric pump can help simplify setup and pack-down. This is particularly appealing when you’re travelling, camping or launching at different locations.

Always follow the boat’s inflation instructions and use the correct pressure for each chamber and the Air Deck floor.

Build your ideal Kolibri Sea Cat fishing setup

The beauty of the Sea Cat range is that you can tailor your boat to the way you enjoy fishing. You don’t need to buy every accessory at once; start with the essentials and add equipment as your needs change.

Here are three setup ideas to help you get started.

The essentials setup

Ideal for anglers who want to keep things simple.

Choose accessories based on the available space, load capacity and conditions you expect to encounter. Keep the boat balanced and ensure all equipment is secured before travelling.

Which Kolibri Sea Cat size is right for fishing?

Choosing the right size depends on how many people you take, how much equipment you carry and where you plan to fish.

Model	Best suited to
Sea Cat 300	Compact fishing trips and portability
Sea Cat 340	Versatile recreational fishing
Sea Cat 380	Anglers wanting additional space
Sea Cat 420	Larger setups and more room for gear

These are general buying guidelines rather than strict limits on how each model can be used. Always check the individual model’s passenger capacity, maximum payload and motor rating before purchasing.

If you’re unsure which Sea Cat is best for your fishing plans, the team at River to Ocean Adventures can help you compare the available models and accessories.

Fishing from your Sea Cat: a few practical tips

Once you’ve chosen your boat and accessories, a little preparation can make your outings more enjoyable.

Keep your deck clear. Use the fishing bag and under-seat storage to reduce loose equipment underfoot.

Secure your gear. Rods, tackle and electronics should be secured appropriately, particularly when travelling between fishing spots.

Check the conditions. Choose waters and weather conditions appropriate for your boat, experience and equipment. Inflatable catamarans are not a substitute for assessing wind, waves, currents and changing weather.

Know your limits. Stay within the manufacturer’s passenger and payload limits, including the weight of your motor, fuel, battery, accessories and passengers.

Carry the required safety equipment. Check the boating rules for your state or territory, including lifejacket requirements, registration and equipment requirements where applicable.

Respect local fishing rules. Check current size limits, bag limits, seasonal closures and permitted fishing areas before heading out.
