    Icon for the thermo welded seams on a True Kit inflatable

    THERMO-WELDED

    Seams are regularly the Achilles Heel for inflatable boats, but not with the True Kit range. We thermo-weld all of our seams for a bond that is stronger than the fabric itself. Don’t settle for glued seams.

    Icon for True Kits aluminium transoms

    TRU-ALU TRANSOM

    Our transom ensures direct power transfer from the engine to the boat with a strong, lightweight aluminum design. Finished with a marine-quality AkzoNobel powder coat, it’s built to last for years to come.

    Icon for the Valmex fabric used on a True Kit inflatable

    VALMEX FABRIC

    For top quality and durability, we use Valmex® fabric by Mehler, Germany’s leading textile producer. Valmex® offers superior flexibility, UV resistance, and airtightness, making it ideal for long-lasting inflatables.

    WANT TO KNOW MORE?

    Which model is best as a tender?

    The Navigator was designed from the ground up to be the perfect tender. This dingy offers incredible safety and stability, while also allowing you to load it up with people and gear.

    What is the difference in the Discovery and Navigator?

    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.

    Is it easy to deflate and pack down?

    Absolutely! It was fundamental that our boats are incredibly fast and easy to pack, and inflate. So it is perfect if you are ending your season and need to store inside, or you are heading off on a long passage and need the foredeck to be clear.

    Do you deliver worldwide?

    Yes, we regularly ship our boats all over the world, so no matter where you are based, or where you are going to, we can get there. Our couriers will work with you for any customs and fees expected on arrival.

    Is there a warranty?

    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.
