Boatworld Carbon Pro 365 Inflatable Boat

Command the Sea and Lochs

Boatworld Carbon Pro 365 & Tohatsu 9.9hp EFI

The definitive solution for anglers ready to leave the shoreline behind and experience the freedom of finding the better fish. The Boatworld Carbon Pro is our ultimate inflatable craft, engineered specifically for the West Coast sea angler who demands muscle, durability, and seaworthy performance.

> Exceptional Strength: Constructed with sleek carbon-effect 1100 denier fabric, this craft emphasises tube thickness and a reinforced hull to withstand the most demanding sea conditions.

> Built for the Salt: Features a robust GRP transom and a solid, rigid, high-performance drop-in floor, ensuring you can handle the elements with total confidence.

> Total Access: Move away from the bank to find the better marks for Pollack, Bass, or Skate that shore-bound anglers simply cannot reach.

> The Tohatsu Advantage: Paired with the Tohatsu 9.9hp EFI, the lightest outboard in its class, this setup offers exceptional torque and top-end speed.

Boatworld Cruiser 380 Inflatable Boat

Robust for the Wild, Stealthy by Design

Boatworld Cruiser 380 & ePropulsion Spirit 2

Designed for the serious angler who demands both stealth and high-capacity performance, the Boatworld Cruiser 380 catamaran is the ultimate platform for conquering the diverse waters of the North.

> Catamaran Stability: Features a specialised catamaran-style hull designed for unmatched stability and effortless planing, even in choppy inshore waters.

> Stealth on the Loch: Finished in a practical, olive-toned green, it is the ideal choice for remaining inconspicuous while fishing or wild camping in natural environments.

> Rugged Construction: Built to handle tough marine conditions with 5-layer 1100 Denier PVC and a high-specification GRP transom.

> Professional Capacity: A spacious 1.8m beam and air mat floor provide a stable, comfortable platform for up to 6 passengers or heavy gear loads.

> Trailer-Free Logistics: While substantial at 54kg, the 380 is designed to be packed into the boot of a car or van, offering professional capability without the logistical headache of a trailer.

> Dual Power Options: See it on the stand paired with the silent ePropulsion Spirit 2.0 for stealth missions, though it is engineered to handle up to 30hp for high-speed performance

Crafted for Adventurers, Engineered for the Journey

Boatworld Kayak 295 & Tohatsu 3.5hp

The Kayak 295 is the definitive crossover craft—combining the agility of a kayak with the rock-solid stability of an inflatable boat. It’s the ideal solution for those looking to experience sea fishing or explore the lochs with a professional-grade setup that doesn't require a trailer.
The Ultimate Crossover: A perfect bridge for those used to hardshell kayaks who want more stability and room on the water, without the transport hassle of a rigid vessel.

> Rapid Setup: This incredibly compact craft fits easily into your car or van boot and inflates in less than 8 minutes, getting you from the car to the water in minutes.

> Standing Confidence: Featuring a high-pressure drop-stitch air deck and inflatable keel, it provides the rigid V-shaped hull needed to stand up and cast with total stability.

> Professional Sea Experience: Endorsed by Hywel Morgan, this craft is built with the same sea-and-loch durability as our larger boats, making it a capable coastal companion.

> Borika Integration: Specifically optimised for Borika rigging and trolling mounts to keep your rods, sonar, and gear perfectly organised.

> Stealthy Performance: See it on the stand paired with a Tohatsu 3.5hp, the perfect lightweight setup for a quiet, professional approach to your favourite marks.
