The CAT: Fast Facts

The CAT™ is North America’s most exciting, state-of-the-art ferry! It’s more than just a mode of transportation. It’s fast, it’s fun—and full of surprises!
Consider these fast facts:

• The CAT’s unique wave-piercing hulls don't ride on top of the waves—they cut through them.
 

• A revolutionary catamaran design funnels the power of The CAT’s four 9500-horsepower       engines through four water jets.   

• From the stern (rear) of the ship, you can watch the water jets of The CAT shoot out a tail   over 20 feet high and 50 feet long!

• The CAT is the only North American ferry that can fly up to 775 passengers, 250 cars and 14 motor coaches across the ocean at highway speeds.

• The aluminum required to build The CAT could produce more than 32 million beverage cans!

• The CAT’s four water jets could fill an Olympic swimming pool in 33 seconds
