Inflatable Boats - Safe And Affordable Water Fun
More and more recreational boaters are coming to appreciate the
unique advantages of soft and rigid bottom inflatable
boats as compared to traditional aluminum or fiberglass hulls. Whether
you are interested in purchasing a small fishing boat, yacht tender, sail or
paddle boat, you will find that inflatables cost much less than hard-shell hulls
and the lightweight design makes them easy to transport and launch, as well as
fuel-efficient and safe.
Rigid Inflatable Boats
Rigid inflatable fishing boats (RIBs) are made with inflatable chambers attached
to a solid bottom and transom. The bottom of these boats is usually made of
either molded plastic or fiberglass. The result is a hull with good stability.
The air chambers of a rigid inflatable boat are usually made of a UV resistant
fabric and feature a “Deep Vee” design. Larger boats come with seats and lockers
that are built into and around the centerline mounted helm station. This is a
great feature for storing fishing supplies. You can power inflatables with your
choice of electric or gasoline outboard motors, propeller or jet drive engines.

Soft Bottom Inflatables
Inflatables from manufacturers such as Sea Eagle feature a solid transom and an inflated longitudinal keel for better handling
and improved buoyancy. Soft bottom boats are cheaper and easier to transport
than rigid inflatable boats. Optional or standard floorboards provide extra
strength and rigidity, making these boats ideal for fishing and a myriad of
recreational water sports. See how these boats perform on the water in this
10-minute movie.

Top 5 Reasons To Buy An Inflatable
- Stability – Inflatable fishing boats sit flat in the
water and are impossible to capsize. A wide beam hull design and multiple air
chambers make these boats reassuringly rigid. Divers and swimmers can get back
on board without tipping it over.
- Load Capacity – Both rigid and soft-bottom
inflatables have a larger load
 capacity than traditional fishing boats. A 14’
inflatable such as the
with four air chambers has an enormous buoyancy and can carry 7 adults or
2000 lbs safely. You can test drive
the 14 SR risk-free for 30 days!
- Fuel Efficiency – Outboard motors use a lot of fuel
and it’s getting more expensive to go fishing. Rigid and soft-bottom
inflatables don’t require a big engine because of the boat’s lighter weight
and excellent performance.
- Versatility – Inflatables can be used for a variety
of purposes that include recreational boating, fishing, paddling, rowing,
rafting and sailing. Large rigid bottom boats may need a trailer but smaller
inflatables can be launched by hand.
- Storage & Maintenance – A 14’ deflated boat fits
into a 4’ long bag that can be taken along in your RV and stored in the
garage. UV resistant fabrics are easy to maintain using dish soap or cleaners
specifically designed for inflatables.
Decide whether you need the performance and extra load
capacity of an offshore rigid inflatable or a less expensive inflatable boat
that satisfies the requirements of most recreational boaters and fishermen. We
have listed some top manufacturers on this site. These boats cost only a
fraction of traditional fiberglass and aluminum boats and offer a more
affordable means to enjoy a variety of water activities for the whole family.
