CampCast Ultra Wins Gold at the MUSE Design Awards

At Silent North, we have always believed that innovation should serve real outdoor experiences, not just look good on paper. Today, we are proud to share that the CampCast Ultra inflatable fishing boat has been awarded Gold at the MUSE Design Awards, recognizing its innovation in design, functionality, and outdoor versatility.

This recognition reflects what CampCast Ultra was built for: creating a lightweight, portable inflatable platform that supports fishing, camping, and outdoor exploration in a more practical and flexible way.

A New Standard for Inflatable Fishing Boats

The CampCast Ultra was designed to rethink what an inflatable fishing boat can be. Instead of serving only one purpose, it combines the needs of modern anglers and outdoor users into one inflatable platform that is easy to transport, store, and deploy.

Built around a catamaran-style inflatable structure, the CampCast Ultra is designed to provide a more stable and functional platform for real outdoor use. Its concept centers on giving users a compact solution that can support:

• Fishing on lakes, rivers, and calm inshore waters
  
• Camping-oriented outdoor trips
  
• Remote-access adventures where transport space is limited

Rather than adding unnecessary complexity, the design focuses on combining core outdoor needs into a single inflatable platform that delivers both portability and usability.

Designed for Real Outdoor Use

Every major design element of the CampCast Ultra was developed with practical outdoor scenarios in mind. The product stands out for its ability to balance portability with real on-water function.

Key design features include:

• Stable catamaran-style platform with more usable space on deck
• Dual-layer drop-stitch build for a stronger, more rigid feel when inflated
  
• Built-in waterproof storage for gear, tools, and outdoor essentials
  
• Multi-use seat design for fishing, resting, and all-day comfort
  
• Compatible with electric and small gas outboards
  
• No trailer needed — packs down to fit in a standard vehicle

This combination helps users travel lighter while still maintaining the functionality needed for fishing and outdoor trips.

MUSE Design Awards Recognition

The MUSE Design Awards recognize outstanding work in product design, concept design, and innovation on an international level. CampCast Ultra received the Gold Award for its inflatable structural concept and its thoughtful approach to combining portability, stability, storage, and fishing-focused functionality into one platform.

What makes the CampCast Ultra stand out is not just its appearance, but the way its design responds to real user needs. It offers a solution for people who want better access to the water without the burden of traditional hard boats, trailers, or complicated transport.

Built for Modern Anglers and Explorers

Today’s outdoor users are looking for equipment that is more flexible, portable, and easier to use in different environments. The CampCast Ultra was designed with exactly that mindset.

It is built for users who value:

• Easy transport without a trailer
• Compact storage when not in use
  
• Quick setup in suitable conditions
  
• Practical space for both short trips and longer outdoor sessions

By focusing on mobility, storage efficiency, and functional design, CampCast Ultra helps anglers and explorers reach fishing locations that are often harder to access with conventional boats.

Moving Forward

Winning the MUSE Gold Award is an important milestone for CampCast Ultra inflatable fishing boat and for Silent North. It reflects our commitment to designing products that are not only innovative, but also genuinely useful in the field.

As we move forward, we will continue refining our inflatable fishing and camping platforms based on real-world use, field feedback, and the evolving needs of outdoor users.
