For over 25 years, Incat has been leading the world in developing high-speed, smooth-riding catamaran ferries.
With a revolutionary wave-piercing hull design, Incat has become the number one choice for ferrying passengers and vehicles en masse across the roughest of seas.
As a symbol of Australian innovation, Incat remains a family business based on the Derwent River in Hobart, Tasmania. Surrounded by some of the roughest oceans in the world, Tasmania represents a unique challenge to mariners that has inspired generations of passionate boat-builders.
This is the secret to their success: founder, Robert Clifford and his brother Tony, have seen through tough times and are now rebuilding their skilled workforce with the help of long-term staff.
"This stuff is world class, and all from a little place in Tasmania," remarks Andrew Price, a shipwright from a timber family.
It is this deep passion for boat building that has seen him easily translate his trade skills from timber ships to aluminium catamarans.

A Life in Print Letter press printing is the original form of printing, invented at the end of the 15th century. Now, as technology has advanced in the past 40 years, it's hard to find skilled workers for this personal, artistic kind of printing - but that hasn't stopped the passion of Wayne Davis, of Artisan Press in Lane Cove, Sydney.
