Airborne Pirates Boatworld Ambassador I Boatworld

Airborne Pirates

THE OFFSHORE EXPEDITION RIG

For years, the creator behind the Airborne Pirates channel has been far more than a familiar face on YouTube; he has been one of the most dedicated, grassroots Boatworld customers in our history. Over the seasons, he has owned, tested, and modified practically every boat in our fleet, steadily earning his reputation as the undisputed "King of the Carbon Pro range".

After taking time off-air to complete a punishing year of endurance training - officially crossing the finish line of an Ironman in Copenhagen, Airborne Pirates is back. Ironman-approved, re-energised, and in the strongest form of his life, he has officially stepped up from long-time loyal customer to join our fleet of Boatworld Ambassadors.

His content has never been about armchair reviews. His mission is to push our craft to their absolute operational limits in freezing winter swells, rocky tidal races, and remote offshore runs, all while preaching an uncompromising respect for the sea. From reading treacherous wave dynamics and navigating coastal microclimates to mastering boat safety and kill-cord discipline, He embodies true British seamanship.

THE RIG SPECIFICATION: CARBON PRO 330

Boatworld Carbon Pro 330 Inflatable Boat

ENGINEERED FOR COASTAL CONFIDENCE

The compact evolution of the Carbon Pro series. Built with commercial-grade 0.9mm PVC, heavy-duty rubbing strakes, and a rigid interlocking aluminium deck, the 3.3-metre hull brings the proven durability of Airborne Pirates previous Carbon Pro 365 setup into a lighter-weight, and even more manageable footprint. Its deep inflatable V-keel cuts cleanly through coastal chop, giving you the tracking, lift, and hull rigidity required to navigate open water safely, handle shifting tides, and beach with complete confidence.

RELIABLE OFFSHORE POWER: TOHATSU 15HP EFI

The Pro Insight: "When you are miles offshore or setting out in the colder months, complete confidence in your engine is everything. The Tohatsu 15hp gives you immediate, crisp throttle response, and because the Electronic Fuel Injection is battery-less, it starts smoothly first pull without carrying extra battery weight on solo launches. It’s the sweet spot of power, fuel efficiency, and peace of mind."

The ideal power plant for the Carbon Pro 330. Delivering lightweight Japanese engineering, the Tohatsu 15hp four-stroke provides the torque needed to pop a fully loaded expedition boat up on the plane quickly while maintaining low fuel consumption for long coastal runs. Its battery-less EFI system ensures dependable cold starts, smooth idling while observing marine wildlife, and clean, smoke-free performance whether navigating tricky tidal entries or cruising open water.

THE EXPEDITION COMMAND ARCH

The Pro Insight: "When you run an inflatable boat into remote waters, deck space is life. The Borika Support Frame fastens securely above the tubes, creating an elevated command hub for my cameras, VHF radio, and navigation kit without stealing an inch of floor space needed for camping gear."

Engineered for solo expeditions, Airborne Pirates utilises the Borika Aluminium Support Frame locked directly forward of the transom. This rigid tactical rail keeps vital electronics, safety gear, and action mounts elevated and within arm's reach of the tiller, leaving the deck 100% clear for supplies, fuel, and survival bags.

BEHIND THE LENS: OCEAN RESPECT & THE PURSUIT OF THE WILD

For Airborne Pirates, the ocean is not an amusement park, it is a wild, unpredictable frontier that demands absolute respect. Over years of documenting British coastal waters, Airborne Pirates has built a fiercely loyal following by blending cinematic 4K drone videography with raw, practical seamanship. Whether he is tracking oceanic wildlife like basking sharks and Makos offshore, wild camping in isolated coves cut off by the tide, or dissecting winter surf dynamics, his philosophy remains unchanged: plan meticulously, respect the elements, and rely on equipment built to take a beating. As the official Boatworld Carbon Pro 330 Ambassador, Matt continues his mission to show boaters what is genuinely possible from a portable, beach-launched craft. It’s about freedom, self-reliance, and unlocking the wildest corners of the coast with complete confidence.
