The Gold Standard, Upgraded. The Fish Cat 4 Deluxe – LCS is the premier choice for anglers who refuse to sacrifice comfort for portability. By taking our top-selling U-boat design and integrating an inflatable seat and backrest, we’ve created a boat that lets you sit higher, cast further, and stay drier in cold water.
Designed for the dedicated casual angler (up to 25 days a year), the Deluxe version is significantly lighter and more packable than foam-seat alternatives. Whether you're hiking into a secret alpine lake or tossing it in the back of a compact car, this boat is built to go wherever the fish are.

Engineered for Portability and Stealth
The Fish Cat 4 Deluxe – LCS is the lightweight evolution of the industry’s most dependable float tube. While the standard Fish Cat 4 relies on foam, the Deluxe model utilizes a high-pressure inflatable seat and backrest. This design not only provides a more customizable "cushion" for long days on the water but also allows the boat to deflate into a remarkably small footprint—perfect for backcountry hike-ins or clutter-free storage.
The LCS Advantage
The integrated Line Cradle System (LCS) is designed specifically for fly anglers. The stripped-down, mesh apron keeps your fly line organized and prevents tangles, even in windy conditions, while the high-riding position of the Deluxe seat ensures your backcast remains clear of the water.
