Inflatable Raft Manufacturers That Stand Out From The Rest

Anyone in the market for a good inflatable raft will discover a great deal about inflatable raft manufacturers. Web searches, boating magazines and boat dealers will feature an array of different models from Zodiac, Hurricane, Bombard, Saturn, Aquastar, Sea Eagle and others. The inflatable has gained widespread popularity for whitewater rafting, kayaking, fishing and cruising.

Initially developed for military use, manufacturers of inflatable rafts have expanded on the original military type inflatables to include recreational applications. Abrasion and UV resistant materials, double seams, 5-layer fabrics and multiple air chambers have made inflatable whitewater rafts extremely durable and safe, even for inexperienced boating and rafting enthusiasts.

A couple of inflatable boat manufacturers stand out from the rest when it comes to quality designs, good prices, warranties and customer satisfaction. ‘Sea Eagle’, a company owned by Cecil & John Hoge of Port Jefferson, NY, have been in the business of selling the best inflatable boats and kayaks, whitewater rafts, catamarans and sailing dinghies since 1967. Quality materials and innovative designs have set this inflatable boat manufacturer apart from the competition.
