iBOAT – Safety & Quality
All iBOAT inflatable boats are manufactured using state-of-the-art hot-wedge welding technology. The permanently welded joints ensure maximum stability and durability.
Latest-generation overpressure valves protect the air chambers from excessive internal pressure, for example in strong sunlight. This allows your iBOAT to regulate critical overpressure automatically – your boat is, in a sense, looking after itself.
Your adventure can begin... set off and return with your story.
The iBoat 500 can be used with the Monsters Paradise Rod Pod and a suitable boat adapter
Available in two versions:
V1 iBoat 500 Max Comfort Integrale
complete boat incl. large accessory package + double bed
V2 iBoat 500 Max Comfort Integrale PLUS
complete boat incl. large accessory package + double bed + Black Cat Cave boat tent, new version with windows.
Material & construction
High-quality Mehlertex® PVC from Germany with 1,100 dtex provides the durable fabric base. Based on our practical experience, our GEN5 Superlight material is comparable in load-bearing durability to conventional 0.9 mm PVC. The lightweight GEN5 coating provides the Classic Grün or Carbon Black finish. Its excellent durability is retained; reducing weight is a development objective.
Total weight (incl. boxes): 165 kg
Max. load: 1250 Kg

Perfect, right?
WHAT'S SPECIAL:
For the first time, it will be possible to sit comfortably opposite each other, as if in a large GRP boat, and chat. And when it bites, you can rush forward or aft to the rods without tripping hazards or having to climb. All this in a weatherproof tent, with enough space to stay relaxed and comfortable for a long period of time.

We took the air out of 4 inflatable boats into a single inflatable boat!
Robust even back then: Our earlier load test shows an iBoat without overpressure valves in blazing sun and under high load. Today, overpressure valves complement the proven construction and offer additional protection against excessive internal pressure.
