An inflatable boat has a number of major advantages over a rigid boat of the same size;
-
Some can be folded up into a small package for storage.
-
For their size, inflatables have much greater load carrying capacity and are more seaworthy.
-
Inflatables continue to float and carry a load even when swamped.
-
Inflatables, being soft, are much easier on people and their boats.
-
Tubes provide a damping effect on waves and provide a softer ride.
-
They are more fuel efficient due to their relative lower weights.
