Choosing the Right
Tube Material:
Hypalon vs. PVC
When selecting a rigid inflatable boat (RIB), one of the most important choices is the tube material. We offer two options: Hypalon and PVC. Each has its place depending on your intended use.
PVC – Economy Option
PVC is an affordable choice suitable
for light recreational use:
Best for boats used less than 30 hours per year
Must be stored under cover when not in use
Not recommended for prolonged sun exposure or harsh environments
⚠️ Please note:
PVC is more sensitive to UV rays and chemical exposure. It may degrade faster without proper care.
Hypalon – Premium & Durable
Hypalon is the premium choice for those seeking long-term durability and ease of maintenance:
Resistant to UV and chemicals
Much easier to clean and maintain
Ideal for frequent use and demanding environments
🌴 Important:
If you plan to use your boat in tropical or high-UV regions, Hypalon is the only recommended option.
I’ve been using inflatables and RIBS for the last 30 years or so for everything from a day out with the family to a front line lifeboat, and most things in between. For the last 3 years I’ve been using a Highfield Patrol 600 for safety covers, family days out and as a media / marshal boat. She has been a revelation! Plenty of room in front and behind the console gives crews, medics and photographers space to operate, the massive lockers places to store equipment and the double spray rails the dryest ride I’ve ever experienced. Even more importantly, the feeling of robustness and safety that the high bow and hull construction gives me when the family are on board means we are happy to explore further, in comfort, then we ever have.
