rubber dinghy

Small inflatable vessel

A rubber dinghy is a small inflatable boat, typically made of rubberized fabric or synthetic material.

Rubber dinghies serve as lifeboats, tenders for larger vessels, or recreational craft for calm waters.

They're lightweight and portable when deflated: We packed the rubber dinghy in the trunk and inflated it at the lake.
