IA290 - 2.9M ISLAND INFLATABLE BOAT

AIR-Deck

White / Black Trimming

The Island Inflatables IA290 is our largest and most popular roll-up tender, specifically designed for owners of cruisers and yachts over 30ft. Combining massive interior space with a compact, portable design, the IA290 is a true workhorse that doesn't compromise on comfort or durability.

Whether you're looking for a reliable yacht tender or a convenient holiday boat to pack into the car or caravan, the IA290 delivers the perfect balance of size and portability. For the ultimate balance of power and portability, we recommend pairing the IA290 with the Parsun 5HP 4-Stroke Outboard.

Why the IA290 Stands Out:

• Thermo-Welded Seams: Unlike cheaper glued models, our High-Frequency Thermo-Welded (HFTW) seams are built to withstand the harsh Australian sun. They simply will not come apart due to heat.

• Heavy-Duty 1100 Denier PVC: We use the best quality German-made Valmex PVC material, 0.9 mm thickness—the heaviest grade possible before reaching commercial/military specs—ensuring maximum puncture resistance.

• Oversized 44cm Tubes: Provides a much drier, more stable ride and allows for comfortable seating on the side of the boat.

• Unique Internal Rear Handles: Our innovative design places handles on the inside of the rear tubes, making it much easier for one person to carry and launch without scratching your main vessel.

• Maximum Protection: Features non-marking rubbing strakes and a second layer of PVC on the underside of each tube for extra protection when launching off beaches or rocky shores.
