THE DISCOVERY ADVANTAGE
The Discovery inflatable catamaran hull has significantly less drag than a typical deep-v hull. This allows for much smaller, lighter, more affordable and more fuel-efficient outboard engines. You need less horsepower to enjoy a thrilling ride
The transom is the transfer unit between the outboard engine and the boat. We have created an incredibly stiff, lightweight aluminium transom using unique design and quality materials. The triple fold provides strength and direct power transfer from the engine to the boat while also being very light. The whole transom is finished to super yacht level with the AkzoNobel powercoat system.
We strive to keep the weight out of our inflatable boat range to make our dinghies manageable by anyone. Carrying and rowing these boats is a breeze, and for our larger designs we have our exclusive QuickLok Dingy Launching Wheels.
Whether you are using your True Kit as a tender and need to pull it onboard the mothership, or your True Kit is the water-going extension of your caravan, keeping it light is critical. The secret is in our thermo-welded seams and superior fabrics, which help us to remove all unnecessary weight from the boat.
All True Kit inflatable boats are designed to be packed down and travelled with. We use the finest German-made fabrics that are flexible and durable to be folded and unfolded again and again. Because our boats are so portable, you can take one anywhere.
The seam can be an inflatable boat's Achilles Heel - or the strongest part. We choose to thermo-weld the seams on our boats to create the strongest bond possible (a permanent mechanical bond). A welded seam on a True Kit inflatable actually becomes stronger than the fabric itself. Don't settle for glued seams.
True Kit partner with Railblaza to bring you the Ribports installed on the tubes of every True Kit. You can clip in oars, rod holders, lights and many other fittings into these ports.
Quality and durability were uppermost in our minds when we were choosing the materials for the True Kit range. After extensive research and testing we chose the world’s leading, premium fabric for inflatable boats - Valmex® by Mehler Germany.
•Mehler has over 60 years’ experience in the development of textiles
•Mehler uses the most advanced technology to ensure their high quality, German made textiles are longer lasting
•The Valmex® fabric demonstrates superior flexibility, elasticity, airtightness and resistance against mechanical damage and UV
•Valmex® is recyclable
•Manufactured in Germany under the internationally recognised standard of quality: ISO 9001:2008
Experience what we call "stand up stability". The nature of inflatable catamarans means all the buoyancy is on the outside. This provides an incredibly stable platform for stepping in and out of the dinghy.

Is it ok to fold and unfold the boat multiple times?
Yes. We specifically designed our entire True Kit range with folding the boats up in mind. This is one of the reasons we use the highest quality fabrics and construction available. Cheaper fabrics lose their flexibility and durability over time compared to Valmex® which maintains its suppleness over years of use.
What is the difference between the Navigator and Discovery Models?
Both boats share exactly the same materials and construction methods. The designs also share a similar catamaran platform which offers superior stability and performance when compared to conventionally designed inflatables. The main difference is in the bow section. The Navigator is primarily designed for yacht tender purposes and has a high volume tube running all the way around the bow. This means you can load the dinghy up with more people and gear and have them close to the bow. The Discovery has parallel tubes which are tapered towards the bow. This creates less volume in the bow area which increases performance and also allows the bow to be pushed close to the water when weight is placed there.
What guarantee do you offer?
We offer a 5 year limited warranty on new boats. Warranty terms can be found in the Warranty page on our website True Kit Warranty. Boats built with Valmex® 20 years ago can still be seen zipping around demonstrating exceptionally long life expectancy.

Customer Reviews
Awesome kit. Recommended
Awesome boat. Really good design. Took it down to Sea of Cortez in Mexico and had an absolute blast launching from little remote beaches. Thanks guys you rule
The product is as exceptional as the customer service! My first Truekit Discovery Inflatable Catamaran Landing Craft unfortunately arrived damaged during shipping. I reached out to customer service via email and was pleasantly surprised to receive a call almost immediately. The representative was incredibly helpful, promptly providing a return shipping label and ensuring a replacement hull was shipped to me within a week. Their efficiency and professionalism turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a seamless resolution. Highly impressed!
