REDEFINE YOUR LIMITS
Fishing isn't fair weather. It’s about challenging conditions, the unknown, and the passion for the pursuit. To level up your game, you need a vessel that entwines with your instinct, a boat that moves as silently as you do. At Boatworld, we don't just build boats; we build access. Whether you are navigating a French mega-lake in the searing sun, pursuing the predators on the UK coastline or hiking to a secret river only accessible by foot, our range is climate-adaptable and engineered for strength.
We are bringing Marine Grade engineering to The Big One. Toughened PVC. Rubbing strips for increased protection against wild banks. Handling and stability that give you total confidence when it matters most. Compact enough to carry. Inflates in minutes. Works hard so you don't have to. This is your new stealth advantage.
THE LITE 170
THE ULTIMATE BAIT BOAT ALTERNATIVE
Why gamble with a remote control?
Bait boats lose signal. Batteries fade. Props get tangled in weed. The 170 Lite is the ultimate reliability upgrade. It gives you the stealth profile of a bait boat, but with the human precision of being there yourself.
Weighing just 18.2kg, it packs down small enough to hike into any water areas. Use it to drop rigs with pinpoint accuracy, bait tight spots by hand, or free a snagged fish that would otherwise be lost. It sits on your back like a rucksack, leaving you free to hike further to access remote waters. But don't let the weight fool you, with an Integrated Air V-Hull, it tracks straight and handles the flow, and unlike flat-bottomed boats that spin in the wind, the 170 Lite features a proper V-hull for directional stability and tracking. Rapid Deployment: From backpack to bank in under 5 minutes.
Power Pairing - Lite 170 & e-propulsion eLite
On the stand, we will showcase the Lite 170 with the ePropulsion eLite. Here is why this is the ultimate roving setup: The "No-Battery" Benefit: The genius of the eLite is its design. The battery is built directly into the stem. That means no heavy leisure battery to carry, no power cables to trip over, and no separate lithium box to lug down the track. Featherweight Power: The engine itself weighs just 6.7kg. When combined with the boat, your total vessel weight is under 25kg.
Silent Stealth: For the roving angler dropping into small, intimate waters, noise is the enemy. The eLite is whisper-quiet, allowing you to manoeuvre over the fish without them ever knowing you are there. One-Hand Removal: The "Click-and-Go" system means you can attach or remove the motor in one second. The Result: You can carry your boat, engine, and rods in a single trip. No barrows. No return journeys. Just walk, launch, and catch.
SHOW EXCLUSIVE: "YOU DECIDE. WE PROVIDE."
Our signature ice white model isn't going anywhere; it's the smart choice for heat reflection. But does the hunter in you demand Stealth Green? We are using The Big One to decide if we should add Green to the range.
The Concept: A "Stealth Edition" 170 Lite to sit alongside our standard range - 18kg portability and total concealment.
The Mission: Come to the stand. Cast your vote. If you want it, we will create it.
THE KAYAK 295 BOAT
NO CREW. NO LIMITS. JUST YOU.
The Kayak 295 is your personal expedition vessel. It bridges the gap between a kayak and a small inflatable boat, giving you the freedom to explore without the hassle of a trailer or roof rack.
Go where the others can't.
At just 1.12m wide, it offers the narrow agility to slide down reed beds and drainage ditches that stop wider boats. Yet, with its large tubes and air deck, it retains the stability to tackle coastal waters and tidal rips. This is a true crossover boat, bridging the gap between a kayak and a small inflatable. It offers the agility you need for fishing, but unlike a solid kayak, it requires no roof rack and no garage space. Keep it in your boot, drive to your spot, and be on the water in minutes.
Power Pairing - Kayak 295 Boat & Tohatsu 3.5hp
On the stand, we are pairing this rig with the Tohatsu 3.5hp. This is the ultimate lightweight engine choice, giving you enough power to reach the best spots without weighing you down. With its internal fuel tank and carry-handle design, it fits perfectly with the "no-hassle" ethos of this setup.
Prefer silent running? This rig is also perfectly balanced for the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus, offering a zero-emission alternative that matches the Tohatsu for portability and ease of use. This makes it the ultimate tool for the stealth angler. The instant torque and silent operation allow you to glide into shallow waters and sensitive environments without disturbing the peace or the fish.
Rigged with the Borika universal mount system, you can turn this compact inflatable into a pro-level fishing station. Clip on rod holders, fish finders, and bait trays in seconds.
Access All Areas - Light enough to launch from steep riverbanks or shallow beaches where trailers can't go. Portable Power - See it rigged with the Tohatsu 3.5hp; light, compact, and ready to go. True Portability - More portable than a solid kayak with no special stowage required. Just pack it in the bag and go. Versatile - Stable enough to stand and cast, tough enough for the coast.
CARBON PRO 365
COMMAND THE SEA - STRENGTH. STABILITY. STEALTH
For the angler who fishes the toughest environments, the Carbon Pro 365 is the ultimate platform. Whether you are targeting bass on inshore reefs, dropping baits on a French inland sea, or punching through a coastal tide, this vessel is engineered to handle it.
This is a specialist tool
Wrapped in toughened 0.9mm Carbon-Effect Heytex fabric, it combines a "Black Ops" tactical aesthetic with the raw capability of a rescue vessel. It is designed for the big waters: the windy reservoirs, the fast-flowing rivers, and the unpredictable British coast.
Power Pairing - Carbon Pro 365 & Tohatsu 20hp
The sea demands respect, and that means power. We have paired this workhorse with the Tohatsu 20hp EFI. Punch the Tide: The 20hp gives you the torque to make headway against strong coastal currents. Range: Get to the offshore marks fast and beat the competition to the feeding zones.
This is the toughest boat in our lineup
Saltwater Tough - The 0.9mm Carbon-Effect Heytex fabric offers superior abrasion resistance—vital when launching from shingle beaches or navigating around barnacle-encrusted pilings.
Rock-Solid Stability - The Aluminium Floor creates a rigid deck, giving you the confidence to stand and cast huge lures even in a rolling coastal swell.
V-Keel Performance - Flat bottoms slam in the sea; this V-Keel cuts through the chop, keeping you dry and safe when the weather turns.
Borika Ready - The transom and tubes are ready for the Borika Mount System. Clip on your GPS, fish finder, and rod holders instantly, turning your boat into a coastal command centre.
