Brand profile
AB Inflatables at a Glance
AB Inflatables deserves far more than a passing mention: the manufacturer currently presents more than a dozen active families spanning aluminium, fibreglass and jet-drive tenders from roughly 2.3 m to 8 m and beyond. The catalogue breadth is both the attraction and the complication.
AB has one of the broadest model catalogues in the world. Australian stock and importer availability should be confirmed model by model — not every international configuration is regularly stocked locally.

Buying AB Inflatables: questions to ask
Before choosing a model, ask the dealer to confirm availability, the complete package weight and local service support. Get the answers in writing so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
- Which AB Inflatables models are physically stocked in Australia now, and which are special-order only?
- What is included in the quoted package, and what will the complete ready-to-use weight be with propulsion, fuel or battery, safety gear and normal accessories?
- Who performs warranty assessment and supplies replacement parts in the state where the boat will be used?
- What tube fabric, seam construction and repair materials are supplied on the exact Australian configuration?
- Can the complete boat-and-engine package be demonstrated with the buyer's normal passenger and gear load?
Take the answers into the comparison tool, then use the sea-trial protocol or, for sailing boats, the sailing dinghy buying guide.
