The Black Shiver 180 ASD is a 59.5-foot rigid inflatable catamaran with a fiberglass hull built to balance seaworthiness with speed. Twin MAN diesel engines delivering 2,400 horsepower give the boat a maximum speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots. The design prioritizes shallow-water capability, allowing the bow to be beached in minimal draft conditions. The layout emphasizes expansive outdoor entertaining across multiple deck levels.
The boat's interior includes a lower cabin with a dinette that converts to sleeping quarters, a separate shower and head, and galley facilities with refrigeration and storage. Above deck, an enclosed dinette with full kitchen, refrigerator, sink, and seating occupies the midship area under weather protection. The bow features a large circular sofa and sunbathing area, with shading available via awning.
The design philosophy centers on proximity to water and open-air living. Deck surfaces sit near the waterline, and side doors provide direct sea access. The stern area includes a spacious bridge with helm console designed for straightforward operation in all conditions. Generous stowage and convivial spaces for relaxation distinguish both the interior and exterior layouts.
