Every Achilles boat is made with our own proven four-layered fabric reinforced with
DuPont Hypalon. We are one of the few inflatable boat companies that manufacture
our own Hypalon fabric, and have for over 30 years. This
ensures consistent quality year-to-year and boat-to-boat.
No fabric is more effective in resisting damage from
the elements, oil, gasoline or abrasions. And nothing is
better for air retention than the interior Neoprene® coating
we use. We take the extra time Hypalon hand-gluing requires to ensure
that unsurpassed quality, safety and durability are built into every Achilles,
from our smallest dinghy to our largest utility boat. So the question shouldn’t
be “which inflatable?” but “which Achilles?”.
A SMOOTH, SIMPLE OAR SYSTEM
We invented the fold-down, locking oar system that makes rowing a breeze while keeping oars secured and out of the way when not in use.

NON-CORROSIVE CHECK VALVES
All Achilles valves are non-corrosive and doublecapped for safety. They are engineered for easy "one-way" inflation and instant deflation.

STRESS BEARING TRANSOMS
We have always secured our transoms with a unique Neoprene rubber mold and transom
tape combination; not just one or the other.
This makes them ideal for handling the extra weight associated with 4-stroke motors.

UNSURPASSED SEAM CONSTRUCTION
Our seams are overlapped a full inch and reinforced with seam tape both inside and out. No one else takes so many steps to ensure seams will last.

Achilles boats are certified by the National Marine Manufacturers
Association as adhering to federal regulations and rigid industry
standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American
Boat & Yacht Council. Achilles boats must pass rigorous annual
inspections from independent third party inspectors to maintain
this prestigious certification that guarantees our boats meet the
highest safety and production standards.
