Inflatable boat

An inflatable boat (also called rubber dinghy or inflatable) is a lightweight boat constructed with its sides and bow made of tubes containing pressurised air.

Inflatable boats are usually deemed boats for beginners. Nowadays, the terms inflatable doesn't only refer to a simple boat that can be disassembled and packed into in a small volume. The choice has become much bigger. Inflatable boats may have rubber floors (plain or inflatable), or they may also include steel, wood or aluminium sheets for rigidity. The tubes can be made of rubberised, synthetic sheets of Hypalon or PVC and are often constructed in separate sections to reduce the effect of a puncture.

Quite often people intending to buy an inflatable boat don't really know what the suitable type for them is. It is important to know what purpose the boat should have (longboat, bathing boat, sport boat or a diving boat) and for how many persons it should be. Beginners with no boat license are suggested to first buy a 3 meter long collapsible boat. A 5 hp outboard motor is enough to reach the speed of some 25 km/h with 2 people on board. You won't be able to win a race in it, but it is definitely enough for some smooth driving on a lake or or along a coast and feel the wind in your hair.
We recommend a collapsible boat, app. 4 meters long, for beginners with a boat license. 15 up to 25 hp should be enough. The size should still be compact enough to allow for easy transportation.

There are also a number of rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RIB) with solid hulls and rigid floors. However, they also require a suitable trailer and a berth because they can't be disassembled.

Whatever your choice may be, the numerous offers at Boot24.com will help you make the right one.
