Seago Hypalon 240 Inflatable Dinghy
The Seago Hypalon boats are robust and durable made from 1200 decitex Hypalon style fabric (ORCA fabric). These boats have excellent UV resistance and will last longer in hot climates.
This new feature rich tender not only looks good but is made with the highly durable 1200 Decitex Hypalon style fabric made by ORCA, conforming to CE and ISO standards. The new lifting handles on the front and rear of the tender, along with the reinforced towing eyes, make transportation easy. We have included lifting eyes on the tubes and transom for use with davits.

What you are actually buying
ORCA Hypalon tubes
Hand-glued CSM fabric rather than welded PVC. It shrugs off UV and heat, and typically lasts two to three times as long as PVC when the boat lives inflated in strong sun.
For boats that stay rigged
If the tender sits on davits, on deck all season, or spends summers somewhere sunny, this is the fabric that survives it. For a boat that lives deflated in a locker, PVC is the sensible saving.
350kg on 2.40m
A solid payload for a boat this size, with the tube volume to carry it without swamping the freeboard.
Still portable
At 33kg it remains a two-person carry, and packs to 101 x 61 x 38cm.

Seago Hypalon 240 Dinghy in detail
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
ORCA Hypalon is hand-glued rather than welded, and resists UV and heat far better than PVC. If the boat stays inflated on davits, sits on deck all season or spends summers somewhere sunny, expect roughly two to three times the service life. If it lives deflated in a locker in the UK, a PVC boat does the same job for considerably less.
Yes - that is exactly what this fabric is for. Fit a cover anyway and apply a UV protectant a couple of times a season and the tubes will outlast the rest of the boat.
4hp maximum. A 2.5-3.5hp short-shaft outboard suits most tender duty and stays 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.
Highlands, islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight and non-mainland addresses are quoted individually - please call our online team on +44 (0) 1473 694725 before ordering so we can confirm the cost and lead time.
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.
Our policy is simple - you have up to 90 days to return your purchase if it is not suitable or you have changed your mind. Our hassle-free 90-day returns policy applies to most items and is offered in addition to your statutory rights.
Please note: boats must be returned unused, dry, clean and in their original packaging. A boat that has been inflated and launched cannot be returned as unwanted, though this does not affect your rights if the item is faulty.
