3.6m Inflatable Dinghy Boat Tender Pontoon - Red

$1,499.00

$1,430.50

Built for serious time on the water, this 3.6m inflatable dinghy delivers the stability, buoyancy, and load capacity needed for everything from yacht tendering to coastal rescue. Constructed from heavy-duty 0.9mm PVC-coated fabric across the twin pontoon tubes, the hull resists UV damage, abrasion, and saltwater corrosion — essential for Australia's harsh marine environments. The I-beam inflatable floor provides a firm, stable underfoot platform, while three independent air chambers ensure you remain afloat even if one section is compromised.

Whether you're deploying it as a tender from your moored vessel off the Queensland coast, using it for flatwater fishing on inland lakes and rivers, or keeping it aboard your caravan rig for emergency water crossing and rescue situations, this 3.6m pontoon punches well above its size class. It deflates and packs into a manageable carry bag, making it an ideal companion for caravanners, RV travellers, and 4WD adventurers who need reliable water access without the bulk of a hard-hull boat — perfect for coastal campsites, remote billabongs, and off-road river crossings across Australia.

Common questions about 3.6m Inflatable Dinghy Boat Tender Pontoon - Red

Can four adults really fit?

Rated for 4 persons and about 500kg, and that is the whole lot — people, motor, fuel, esky and gear. Four grown adults plus fishing kit puts you at the ceiling on a 170cm beam. Three and a decent load is where it feels right on open water.

Do I need an outboard or will the oars do?

The aluminium oars get you off a beach and back to a mooring. They will not win against a running tide or an afternoon sea breeze in a boat this size. If you are going past the sheltered stuff, fit the transom board and hang a motor up to 5HP on it.

Can one person launch it?

Not easily. Deflated it is around 28 to 32kg in the bag before oars and pump, and inflated it is 3.6m of awkward. Rig it close to the water, use the bow handle and the grab handles, and plan on a mate or a set of boat wheels for the last stretch.
