LEVEL FLOTATION
Your large boat benefits from the added perimeter buoyancy, which works hard to keep your flooded vessel from capsizing.
FREEDOM TO MOVE
Get great stability with a Kapten Boat Collar. Boarding and trips ashore are so stable and dry, you've never known such comfort. Go snorkeling & easily climb back in!
COMFORT & CONTROL
With your ride soft and dry, you'll not only feel like you're in a bigger boat, but the handling through chop, wake and waves will make you feel like you're in a different boat altogether.

PRICING
The standard, screwed-on method Collar kit is the only one suitable for these boat sizes.
Pair of Collars provided are 4.40m - 4.45m long
You need a little more Collar length than your registered boat length, to allow for the curve in the boat, and the width of the Collar. For most classic shaped boats, 20-25cm more is ample, and provides 5-10cm offcut at the back.
For the smaller boats in this range of length (i.e, 3.8m boats), the offcut will be longer, approx 50cm. This can be used as Transom Foam pieces across the back if desired.

Yes, there may be a few pieces of hardware leftover if your boat length is at the smaller end of the range. But it means you'll have a plate or two & some screws spare if you ever need them.
No. We use your boat's centreline measurement to ensure your kit & Collar length will cover the curve of your boat.
The amount of offcut varies on the boat shape, but you will have some hang out the back of the boat that will need cutting off during installation.
You can send us a photo of your boat if you'd like help choosing the best size & option for your boat.
