Inflatable Boats UK. The more air pressure an inflatable boat can absorb the more rigid it will be. {2.5psi is standard, 6.5psi/0.45 bar is extremely rigid} The thickness and durability of the material and the way the seams are joined are connected to the amount of air pressure possible.

Schlauboot, Wetline, Bestway, Intex, Sevylor, ULYZ, Sportek. Cheaper Online and Wehncke are inflatable boats noticeably available on the market in the UK.

Intex inflatable boats are manufactured by laminating 2 outer layers of heavy gauge PVC to an inner layer of polyester mesh 1000 denier. It is easy to obtain a Certificate Of Origin for their boats and after sales service is good. A lot of feedback is generally available for their inflatables. Feedback can be helpful. Equally, it can be misleading especially if the writer is fed up at the time of writing.

Sevylor has been selling on the inflatable market for a good few decades. Their inflatable dinghies are well known and well priced. Also manufactured from PVC, they offer good after sales service and have a UK base. [One disgruntled customer wrote in their review all about the problem they had had with the seams of the inflatable they bought. Thing is, Sevylor refund in full or replace faulty items. This was not mentioned. Perhaps the inflatable boat was purchased for immediate use and they were looking forward to getting out on the water straight-away.]

Schlauboot is a recent introduction to the UK inflatable dinghy scene. It can be found as Schlau Boot which simply translates to ‘Smart Boot’. Their inflatable boat tenders have V shaped keels and wooden decks with aluminium stabilizers. Their largest is 14’1” long and can carry 8 passengers. It is difficult to find information about who manufactures these inflatable boats though. No doubt, since all inflatable boats have some common uniformity, they will find satisfied customers.

Added later: Captain Blue Sky are the people to be contacted for more information about this boat. Efforts to contact them for this post have so far been unsuccessful.

Added even later: Schlau boot inflatable boats are not in stock at the moment – Feb 2011.
