The Island Inflatable Story

Island Inflatable SW
Island Inflatable Boats are based and designed by a Sydney company, Island Marine Enterprises.

Designed from the keel up, the whole process took over two years before Island Marine Enterprises were confident in the final design. The amount of time and attention to detail that went into designing this range of 12 different model inflatable boats from 2m up to 4.3m has paid off.


In the first year of being released onto the Australian market, over 500 boats were sold, and to date no warranty claims have been made.

These boats are built to the highest standard. Starting with their unique internal rear carry handles for ease of carrying and no chance of the handles scuffing the side of your cruiser, Island Inflatables boast features that set them aside from other brands:



Over inflation valve with internal baffles to send any over pressure to the front chamber and out the over inflation valve.

Patent Diagonal Stitched High pressure air-deck floor giving strength in all directions and the feel and stability of an aluminum or wood floor.

Heavy duty stainless steel tow rings Grab ropes on the side of the boat are off set making the sides a comfortable seatAluminum cast internal and external outboard plates.

Double layer of 1100 detex polymer material on the underside of each pontoon for wear protection.

Inflatable keel for direction when driving.

Generous size pontoons.

Australian Builders plate.

Certificate for registration.

Not only do they look great but in conjunction with the high quality and exceptional features they are also renowned for their price, coming well in under any other brand on the market with the same features.

Now major marine stores around Australia are taking notice of this new brand on the market and have hadgreat success.
