catamaran efficiency

True Kit inflatable catamaran's have a hull that has significantly less drag than a typical deep-v hull. This efficiency allows owners to have the option to use much smaller, lighter, more affordable outboard engines. You need less horsepower to enjoy a thrilling ride.

This also makes it the perfect boat for a small electric outboard - maximizing the the range and spee

aluminium transom

The transom is the transfer unit between the outboard engine and the boat. We have created an incredibly stiff, lightweight aluminium transom using unique design and quality materials. The triple fold provides strength and direct power transfer from the engine to the boat while also being very light. The whole transom is finished to super yacht level with the AkzoNobel powercoat system.

lightweight

We strive to keep the weight out of our inflatable boat range to make our dinghies manageable by anyone. Carrying and rowing these boats is a breeze, and for our larger designs we have our exclusive QuickLok Dingy Launching Wheels. 

Whether you are using your True Kit as a tender and need to pull it onboard the mothership, or your True Kit is the water-going extension of your caravan, keeping it light is critical. The secret is in our thermo-welded seams and superior fabrics, which help us to remove all unnecessary weight from the boat.

PORTABLE

At True Kit, our inflatable boats are designed to be packed down and travelled with easily. We use the finest German-made fabrics that are flexible and durable to be folded and unfolded again and again.

Because our boats are so portable, they can be launched from more remote areas of lakes and waterways - giving you the best experience on the water.

thermo-welded seams

The seam can be an inflatable boat's Achilles Heel - or the strongest part.  We choose to thermo-weld the seams on our boats  to create the strongest bond possible (a permanent mechanical bond).  A welded seam on a True Kit inflatable actually becomes stronger than the fabric itself. Don't settle for glued seams.

PERFECT FOR ALL LIFESTYLES

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

Our commitment to producing outstanding inflatable boats has created the head-turning True Kit Discovery, which is clearly no ordinary inflatable boat. 

True Kit conducted extensive sea trials of the landing craft bow to ensure that it was capable of handling rough conditions
Unlike a conventional bow, this design ensures that swimmers can exit and return to the boat easily. The bow shape also makes boarding from your yacht, launch or the dock much safer
We have created an incredibly stiff, lightweight structure using unique shapes and quality materials. The triple fold provides strength and direct power transfer from the engine to the boat while also being very light.

Is it ok to fold and unfold the boat multiple times?

Yes. We specifically designed our entire True Kit range with folding the boats up in mind.  This is one of the reasons we use the highest quality fabrics and construction available. Cheaper fabrics lose their flexibility and durability over time compared to Valmex® which maintains its suppleness over years of use.

What is the difference between the Navigator and Discovery Models?

Both boats share exactly the same materials and construction methods. The designs also share a similar catamaran platform which offers superior stability and performance when compared to conventionally designed inflatables. The main difference is in the bow section. The Navigator is primarily designed for yacht tender purposes and has a high volume tube running all the way around the bow. This means you can load the dinghy up with more people and gear and have them close to the bow. The Discovery has parallel tubes which are tapered towards the bow. This creates less volume in the bow area which increases performance and also allows the bow to be pushed close to the water when weight is placed there.

What guarantee do you offer?

We offer a 5 year limited warranty on new boats.  Warranty terms can be found in the Warranty page on our website True Kit Warranty. Boats built with Valmex® 20 years ago can still be seen zipping around demonstrating exceptionally long life expectancy.

Exceeded Expectations

I am very impressed with the design, and quality of manufacturing that went into the True Kit Discovery. A friend had a different True Kit model and after looking it over then researching the competition I felt comfortable enough to place an order. Now that I’ve been using my boat I’m even more impressed that the designers were themselves experienced boaters and thought of everything. On top of that, the quality of materials used and product assembly are best-in-class. Knowledgeable and responsive sales and customer support staff. All round excellence! at True Kit!
