Inflatable Boats

Inflatable boats offer a highly versatile solution for recreational activities such as fishing and river cruising, or as a compact tender solution for larger boats. High performance inflatable boats can reach speeds of up to 70 knots while maintaining excellent stability both on rivers and rougher waters.

You can use your inflatable boat for sea cruising, river trips, scuba diving, fishing and many other recreational activities. As inflatable boats are assembled and disassembled using pressurised air, they are extremely lightweight and compact. Furthermore, the boats are easy to store both on board a larger sailboat; attached to the side of a yacht without risk of scratching or damage to the larger boat, or even stored in a shed or garage. 

With our excellent range of inflatable boats, you can find everything you need to get onto the water in one place. With individual inflatable dinghies for sale, as well as inflatable dinghies with outboard engines so you can get straight into the water.

Deciding on the right inflatable boat for your intended use is important. Our selection of inflatable boats are available with a variety of different features and in varying sizes, weights, capacities and materials to suit their many potential applications. 

One of the first considerations to make is the capacity of your inflatable boat. Our range includes boats that can accommodate up to four people. If using your inflatable boat as a tender for a yacht, you may find a larger capacity to be more efficient for your requirements, so you can avoid making multiple trips between the shore and your primary vessel. 

Inflatable boats are also available with a selection of different flooring options. When using your inflatable boat on rougher waters, a hard or slatted flooring will be most suitable. Although this style of flooring can take longer to assemble, it creates a more rigid structure for your boat so it can maintain stability in choppy waters. Roll up floors are more commonly found on smaller inflatable boats and those used for shorter trips across the water. This style offers less stability but is much quicker and easier to store and deploy.
