Inflatable Boats Are A Great Alternative To Personal Watercraft
Feel the thrill of action, speed and adrenaline with our range of small inflatable watercraft and sports RIBs. A great alternative to personal watercraft and jet skis, our fleet of small inflatable watercraft provide great craft to travel around waterways, are fantastic watercraft to fish from, and provide a great sports boat to wakeboard and wake surf from. Capable of holding more passengers than a jets or personal watercraft, our small inflatable watercraft can carry a minimum of four people, helping you to share the ride more comfortably.
The Grand G340 in particular is a small but lightly inflatable watercraft and sports RIB, capable of going 25 knots comfortably with numerous passengers on board. With a ski pole at the stern, enjoy wakeboarding or wake surfing fun on the water. Plus, easily fix fishing rods to the stern too, enabling you to fish from the watercraft.
The Grand G420, a bestselling small sports RIB in the Grand fleet – also makes a great jet ski alternative, and with high engine power options, creates a fun, fast and nimble ride on the water.
All of our small inflatable watercraft are fitted with Garmin chart plotters, perfect addition for keen anglers, as well as Fusion speaker systems too, enhancing the feeling of your ride with music.
Thanks to their size, these small sports RIBs serve effectively as yacht tenders too, fitting comfortable in super yacht garages or tender storage areas, enabling you to easily transport the fun ride of a watercraft wherever you travel.
Inflatable Boats vs Jet Skis
The difference between inflatable watercraft and traditional personal watercraft comes down to a number of factors including design, materials, use and value. While personal watercraft are typically made of fibreglass or fibre reinforced plastic, inflatable watercraft such as RIBs combine hypalon or PVC tubing with a hard hull made of fibreglass or aluminium. Additionally, the simple engine configuration on a personal watercraft differs from the outboard engine set up often found on inflatable watercraft.
Jet skis or personal watercraft are typically faster than boats, however with a high power engine option, small inflatable watercraft can reach speeds of up to 35 knots – even with several passengers on board.
The wider layout of an inflatable watercraft also enables more passengers to fit onboard – whereas you can typically only have two passengers on a personal watercraft. If waterskiing or wakeboarding is a favourite pastime, you’ll be able to do this much more easily on an inflatable watercraft or sports RIB as jet skis aren’t always capable of towing.
