Inflatable boat general information

Initially, inflatable boats were developed for use in the navy for transporting torpedoes and other cargo as well as other applications. Over time, recreational applications evolved for the smaller boats including pleasure, tender and fishing. When the stability, flotation and seaworthiness of inflatable boats became more known, lifesaving and rescue agencies around the world began using them as tenders on their larger vessels. Today, rescue and military agencies around the world use inflatable boats, particularly RIBs, for many applications inshore and offshore. Some of the many applications of inflatable boats today include:

 

  • Yacht tenders
  • Pleasure boating
  • Scuba diving
  • Fishing and hunting
  • Watersports
  • Search and Rescue
  • Emergency lifeboats
  • Workboat applications
  • Personnel ferrying
  • Drug Enforcement
  • Army/Navy transport
  • Special military ops.
  • Security Patrol
  • Fisheries patrol
  • Law enforcement

....and many other applications.

Now, there are many new manufacturers, new models and new designs to have hit the market. Inflatable boat are no longer a little dinghy on the back of a large pleasure yacht, but can range up to 45 ft in length and longer. "Rigid" hulls of fiberglass or aluminum have evolved from the original fabric floors, luxury components and even cabins now grace the decks of many inflatable boats. Contrary to the name, inflatable boat, on some inflatable boats of today the only thing inflatable is the collar around the perimeter gunwales of the deck however, the inflatable boat lives on and becomes more popular year after year.
