Storm Watch: The “No-Storage” Boating Solution & Why You Need to Visit Booth 559 Now
Santa Ana, United States – January 23, 2026 / Rover Marine /
As the 2026 New York Boat Show kicks off at the Javits Center, the conversation isn’t just about the boats; it’s about the forecast. With a significant winter storm expected to impact travel on Friday and Saturday, Rover Marine (Booth 559) is advising attendees to push their visits forward to Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
Rover Marine is debuting a fleet of inflatable tenders designed specifically for the Northeast captain who needs performance without the slip fees. The “No-Storage” lineup solves the city’s biggest boating logistical hurdle: owning a capable vessel that fits in an apartment closet or the trunk of a rideshare.
The Hardware on Display Rover Marine is showcasing two primary platforms at Booth 559, engineered with thermal-welded PVC and high-pressure drop-stitch floors rather than heavy fiberglass.
- The Battle Cat (Inflatable Catamaran): This twin-hull design addresses the primary weakness of traditional dinghies: instability. By pushing buoyancy to the outer pontoons, the Battle Cat creates a platform stable enough for standing and casting. The tunnel hull design traps air to create lift, allowing the vessel to plane with portable power (6-20HP) or electric equivalents like the ePropulsion Spirit series.
- The Battle Boat (Utility Tender): A modernized take on the classic dinghy, built for abuse. It features a reinforced transom, triple-layer PVC tubes for abrasion resistance against pilings, and the proprietary V-TEAK traction floor—a non-slip EVA foam that mimics the grip of a commercial workboat.
Storm Contingency: Call for Show Specials For those unable to travel due to the impending weather, Rover Marine ensures you won’t miss out on the season’s best offers. While online prices remain standard, captains who call the Rover Marine team directly will be eligible for exclusive Boat Show pricing and bundles. Additionally, if the storm prevents you from seeing the hulls in person, the team is available after the show concludes to schedule personal video walkthroughs to answer any technical questions.
