PortaBotes fold to four inches flat and can be assembled in minutes
A PortaBote can be carried on your roof rack, so you don't need a trailer
There are four sizes available – 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft and 14 ft
weighing between 21 and 44 kg
The 8-14 ft boats can be easily carried and assembled by one person
The foldability means they are easily stored
PortaBotes are extremely durable
Over 30 years in production they are supplied with a ten-year manufacturer's warranty and there are some PortaBotes still in
use after 25 years.
They are made from polypropylene which is incredibly tough and resistant to sharp rocks and collisions.
The Japanese Coast Guard tested the hinges by filling a boat with 600lbs of concrete and dropping it onto the water from a
height of 20ft. It survived!
The colour goes all the way through the hull, so there is no need for repainting.
The material is easy to clean, making the boats virtually maintenance free.
