inflatable boat

Raft needing air

An inflatable boat is a lightweight watercraft with air-filled tubes forming its hull and sides.

When deflated, it folds compact for storage and transport.

Inflatable boats range from simple pool toys to rigid-hulled inflatables (RIBs) used by military and rescue services.

We paddled the inflatable boat to shore.
