Customer Testimonial
"I have used my 9'8" aluminum hull North Atlantic Inflatables tender on my sailboat Snoek for 4 summers.
I can run ashore for dinner or provisions with two folding bikes and two adults in the tender and still get on the plane with our 9.9 hp Tohatsu.
The NAI tender has been an absolute joy to use, so dry, maneuverable and it runs so well and gets on the plane with two adults and all the junk you can pile in to it. Easy to haul ashore on a pebble beach or concrete ramp (I added folding wheels) and as far as the weight of the boat with outboard on the transom is unnoticed in the handling of the Goose underway."

Why Choose Hypalon Tubes For Your Inflatable Boat?
Built for Harsh Conditions
Not all inflatable tubes are created equal. Hypalon (Orca-brand) is a synthetic rubber fabric known for its exceptional resistance to:
​
-
UV rays and sun exposure
-
Extreme heat and cold
-
Saltwater and chemical corrosion
-
Punctures and abrasion
This makes it the top choice for serious recreational boaters, military users, and emergency services who need maximum durability and peace of mind.
Great Longevity & Higher Resale Value
Hypalon tubes offer a 20+ year service life with proper care—often doubling the lifespan of PVC. That longevity translates to:
​
-
Fewer repairs and maintenance issues over time
-
Higher resale value
-
Reliable performance in all climates
PVC tubes are fine for seasonal use in northern climates, but in southern regions with intense sun, they degrade faster. That’s why Hypalon is a must for boaters in Florida, the Gulf Coast, and similar regions.
Built to Last & Backed by Warranty
North Atlantic Inflatables uses hand-glued seams for Hypalon tubes, ensuring maximum flexibility and bond strength. Our boats also feature:
​
-
Multiple air chambers for added safety
-
Reinforced keels and stern tubes
-
Heavy-duty hardware like lifting eyes and pressure relief valves
And we stand behind them with a 5-Year Warranty for recreational use in all climates. PVC tubes receive a 2-year warranty in southern climates due to sun exposure risks. All aluminum and fiberglass hulls are covered for 5 years, regardless of location.
A Smart Long-Term Investment
Choosing a Hypalon RIB boat or inflatable dinghy means:
​
-
Longer lifespan and fewer worries
-
Better durability in diverse boating conditions
-
Higher long-term value and reliability
-
Backed by real people who stand by their product

If you're planning to tow your boat behind a trawler, launch from a rocky beach, or simply want something you can count on season after season, a Hypalon RIB from North Atlantic Inflatables is the smart choice.
