Responsible boating begins with you
With your inflatable boat, you can discover the richness of the marine environment. Help keep it beautiful.

Enjoying some time on the water is great, but it comes with some responsibility for us all to work to ensure that the world around us remains a strong healthy environment for living and play.

Please, respect your environment by applying the following basic safety rules:

  • Avoid creating excessive wash
  • Keep out of designated swimming areas
  • Respect all animal life. Respect the laws for bag limits and practice catch and release sportsmanship.
  • Use non-polluting antifouling paint and non-polluting cleaning agents.
  • Don’t make unnecessary noise. Excessive noise should be avoided, particularly around launching ramps and populated areas.
  • Don’t discharge oil or fuels into the water. In most areas this is illegal and in all areas it causes pollution and harms plant and animal life.
  • Don’t litter. Dispose of garbage and trash properly. if there is no appropriate refuse disposal, bring back your trash.
  • Don’t make excessive wake. Remember that the wake your boat trails behind can be destructive to the shore, as well as to other boaters. A boat wake crashing on the shore can cause and accelerate erosion and damage the environment.

Security, stability, buoyancy, unsinkabililty. Compared to traditional kayaks, an inflatable kayak offers some important advantages: it is safer, lighter, more practical and more economical.

Reassuring stability
The stability of an inflatable kayak, thanks to its large buoyancy tubes and resulting low center of gravity, is such that under normal circumstances it is practically impossible to capsize. This quality, which is essential to safe confident navigating, is especially appreciated by divers and fisherman.

Exceptional load capacity
Inflatable kayaks are capable of carrying more or maneuvering, without taking on water. This is because the buoyancy of an inflatable kayak is far greater than that of a traditional kayak giving it a higher loading capacity.

Security, buoyancy, unsinkabililty
The buoyancy tubes of an inflatable kayak include several compartments sealed one from the other by conical bulkheads. Because of its large air reserve, the boat will stay stable and unsinkable, even with one of the independent air chambers deflated.
