iBOATS by Imperial Fishing
For more than two decades, our iBOATS have grown from real experience on the water. Discover boats developed at Imperial Fishing with anglers and refined through practical use.
Find the iBOAT that fits your waters
Start with transport, room on board and how you plan to use the boat. This short guide helps with orientation; see the product selection for models and colours currently available.
260–320 cm
More room for anglers and equipment. These sizes come with a high-pressure air floor as standard.
360–650 cm
More space on board for broader uses. From the iBoat 360 upwards, an aluminium floor is included as standard.
Compare the models and versions currently available in the product selection. The right size depends on your waters, transport and intended use.
Materials, technology & equipment
Our iBOATS differ in material construction and equipment depending on size and series. The relevant versions use Mehlertex® PVC fabric from Germany at 1,100 dtex with the ultra-light GEN5 coating. The exact specification depends on the model.
For the applicable GEN5 Superlight versions: Based on our tests and practical experience, our GEN5 Superlight material is comparable in load-bearing durability to high-quality conventional 0.9 mm fabric-reinforced PVC, while being designed with a lower material weight. This contributes to a lower overall boat weight. Robust, spacious and light.
Superlight models also feature abrasion protection. In Super Strong models, this fabric layer is doubled across the entire underside; they also feature abrasion protection.
Depending on the model, features include reinforced construction, hot-wedge-welded seams and overpressure valves. Refer to the relevant product page for model-specific specifications.

Ready for your time on the water
Every iBOAT comes with the boat and paddles, a robust transport bag with a drawstring closure instead of a zip, warm wooden bench seats and a matching cover. The pump is matched to the boat size: a compact double-action pump is included with the 160–210 cm models, and a high-volume pump from 260 cm upwards.

Real-world tests & iBOAT development
These general load and development tests belong in the iBOAT experience. They document historical practical testing, not model-wide technical load approvals. The available original information does not reliably confirm the model shown in the explosion test, so no model or unverified load figure is stated here.
