New 2012 Achilles Inflatable Boats

Every Achilles boat is made with our own proven four-layered fabric reinforced with DuPont Hypalon. We are one of the few inflatable boat companies that manufacture our own Hypalon fabric, and have for over 30 years. This ensures consistent quality year-to-year and boat-to-boat. No fabric is more effective in resisting damage from the elements, oil, gasoline or abrasions. And nothing is better for air retention than the interior Neoprene® coating we use. We take the extra time Hypalon hand-gluing requires to ensure that unsurpassed quality, safety and durability are built into every Achilles boat, from our smallest dinghy to our largest utility boat. So the question shouldn't be "which inflatable?" but "which Achilles?".

Achilles Boats have Stress Bearing Transoms
We have always secured our transoms with a unique Neoprene rubber molded and transom tape combination; not just one or the other. This makes them ideal
for handling the extra weight associated with 4-strokemotors.

Achilles Boats have Non-Corrosive Check Valves
All Achilles boat valves are non-corrosive and double capped for safety. They are engineered for easy "one-way" inflation and instant deflation.

Achilles Boats have Unsurpassed Seam Construction
Achilles boat seams are overlapped a full inch and reinforced with seam tape both inside and out. No one else takes so many steps to ensure seams will last.

Achilles Boats have A Smooth, Simple Oar System
At Achilles Boats we invented the fold-down locking oar system that makes rowing a breeze while keeping oars secured and out of the way when not in use.
