A MiniCat is easy to picture under sail. But there’s another way to enjoy it: leave the mast and sail behind and use the catamaran as a tender with an electric outboard. It’s a useful idea for boat owners who want a small craft for short trips on the water without bringing the full sailing setup every time.
Pairing a MiniCat with the RemigoOne GO creates a different kind of outing. Instead of rigging up for a sail, you can head out under quiet electric power, whether you’re travelling between a yacht and shore or exploring sheltered water.

One boat, two ways to enjoy the water
The appeal is flexibility. When you want to sail, rig your MiniCat for the wind. When sailing isn’t the plan, its inflatable catamaran platform can serve a different purpose with a suitable electric outboard setup.
That could mean a short trip ashore, a relaxed ride around an anchorage or simply getting out on the water without raising a sail. The video shows the tender idea in action, so you can see the setup rather than just imagine it.
Why pair it with an electric outboard?
The RemigoOne GO brings motor, battery and controls together in one unit. There’s no petrol to carry for the motor, and electric propulsion makes for a quieter ride. For short tender trips, that simplicity is a big part of the appeal.
Before using any MiniCat this way, check the instructions for your specific MiniCat model and motor setup, including the appropriate mounting equipment, permitted load and safe operating conditions. Wear suitable personal flotation equipment and follow local boating rules. A tender trip is still a boating trip.
