Power Kitten
Turnkey customisable lightweight vessel.
We are impressed by the attention to detail on the Power Kitten, especially given the tight time frame, and the drive to improve the product throughout the process. The design, build and fit-out have all been completed to a high quality, and at a comparable price to competing products.

Description
Five Short Blasts, a 2019 Perth Festival performance, required 11 light vessels for 6 passengers each (inc. skipper). The commission included outboard engines, water safety equipment and audio speakers in the bow and stern. Survey compliant to Class 2D/2E, the vessels were completely custom built to specification by the Shockwave team; and now we offer the model to more customers.
The GenII Power Kitten is ready for release in Feb 2026, delivering higher speeds, improved handling and fuel economy. To celebrate we’re packaging vessels with a range of options such as two tone gelcoat, forward bench seats, storage lockers, Kingfisher bimini, Fusion stereo, Hella LED lighting, stainless boarding ladder and ultra stylish EVA decking. All vessels are fitted with full level floatation and supplied standard with an electric start 30hp Mercury outboard.
The Power Kitten makes a great utility or crew transfer vessel and is equally at home in inshore waterways as it is in bays and nearshore operations.

Shockwave News
Andrew Wright and the Shockwave Marine team have responded in a very timely and professional manner to meet an exacting brief from Perth Festival at very short notice.
Their brief was to provide 11 light craft with in-built speakers for the Perth Festival- commissioned performance series Five Short Blasts.
The team made rapid progress and the process was very smooth from brief to quote negotiation, terms and conditions, and purchase orders. Our Festival production team felt very confident throughout, thanks to regular progress calls and immediate alerts if something could potentially affect schedules.
We are impressed by Shockwave Marine’s attention to detail, especially given the tight time-frame, and the drive to improve the product throughout the process. They completed the design, build and fit-out to a very high quality at a competitive price.
Working with Shockwave, we benefited from Andrew Wright’s extensive connections, knowledge and depth of understanding of Australian Maritime Safety Authority regulations, codes of practice, and insurance requirements. This saved us much time, clarified areas of uncertainty and ensured every vessel was compliant.
The Five Short Blasts artists, for whom the boats were built, are particularly pleased with the results. The vessels are very well-designed, safe and light, which makes them easy to transport to other locations and performances.
