What you are actually buying
Genuinely light
From 18kg. The saving comes from a lightweight transom, a short sponson and the integrated air deck - not from thinner fabric, so you are not trading durability for weight.
Integrated air deck
A high-pressure inflatable floor that is comfortable to stand on and rolls up with the boat. No slats to assemble on a wet pontoon.
Adjustable aluminium seat
Slides fore and aft so you can trim the boat properly whether you are rowing solo or carrying three.
Packs into a backpack
Rolls down into a carry bag you can get into a car boot or a cockpit locker, which is the whole point of a tender this size.

Not sure what you need alongside the boat? Call the shop and we will spec it with you - outboard shaft length, wheels, cover and a spare repair kit are the four people most often forget.
Choosing an inflatable dinghy
Three decisions do most of the work: what the tubes are made of, what's under your feet, and how big a boat you can actually handle on your own. Everything else follows.
PVC or Hypalon?
PVC is lighter, cheaper and welded rather than glued — ideal for a tender that's deflated and stowed between trips. Expect 5–10 seasons in UK conditions.
ORCA® Hypalon (CSM) costs more and is hand-glued, but it shrugs off UV and heat. If the boat lives inflated on davits, on deck all season, or spends summers in the Med, Hypalon is the one that survives.
What's under your feet
| Floor | Best for |
|---|---|
| Slatted | Lightest and smallest packed. Rowing and short hops; won't plane. |
| Air deck | Light, rolls up, comfortable underfoot. The all-round compromise. |
| Aluminium / ply | Rigid, planes well, but heavy and slow to assemble. |
| Rigid hull (RIB) | Best ride and handling. No packing away — needs davits or a trailer. |
Size, weight and engine
Work backwards from where the boat has to live. Measure your foredeck, your davits and your car boot before you fall in love with a length.
Then be honest about the lift: anything over about 40kg stops being a two-person carry up a slipway. Match the outboard to the transom rating and the shaft length (short shaft on almost all tenders), and remember the engine's weight comes off your usable payload.
Frequently asked
Work backwards from stowage rather than capacity. All three are the same 1.30m beam and 35cm tube, so they stow to almost the same width - it is length and weight that change. The 230 at 18kg is the easiest single-handed lift; the 270 carries three adults and a child but is 23kg and 8cm longer packed.
A lightweight transom, a shorter sponson and the integrated air deck. Notably it is not achieved with thinner fabric - the tubes are the same 1100 decitex PVC as heavier boats, so you are not trading durability for the weight saving.
No. The Go Lite has a flat integrated air deck with no inflatable keel, which keeps weight and packed size down. It rows and motors perfectly well as a tender, but it will not track or plane like a V-keeled boat. If you want planing performance, look at a boat with an inflatable V keel.
4hp on the 230, 5hp on the 250 and 6hp on the 270. In practice a 2.5-4hp short-shaft outboard suits most tender duty and keeps the engine light enough to lift on and off single-handed.
It ships on a pallet courier rather than a standard parcel service. Highlands, islands and non-mainland addresses are quoted individually - call us before ordering, or collect from the shop.

Inflatable boats are subject to length and weight shipping restrictions and travel on a pallet courier rather than a standard parcel service. UK mainland delivery on this item is calculated at checkout.

You are also very welcome to collect from the shop. Many customers prefer this so we can unpack the boat with you, check it over and run through the setup before you take it away.
