Brand profile
Quicksilver Inflatables at a Glance
Quicksilver's international tender catalogue is broad and well-structured, running from the simple Tendy through air-deck and sport models to a full aluminium RIB ladder including Hypalon variants. The caveat for Australian buyers is stock: verify before you shortlist.
Australian stock varies — model availability needs verification before treating every version as locally stocked.

Our take
A solid range, but confirm your dealer can actually supply and support the model before falling for the spec sheet.

Buying Quicksilver 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 Quicksilver 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.
