Caribe Inflatables Review

Caribe Inflatables, USA, of Miami, Florida, is a sister company to the Venezuelan-based Caribe Inflatables, makers of RIB and soft bottom tenders. They offer a large range of models from eight to twenty-four feet. This company places a strong emphasis on technology and has implemented advances for their inflatables such as three air chambers, full lifelines, oversized tubes, and internal depth. With a focus on comfort and safety, their inflatables offer numerous special features for storage and efficiency.

Since creating their first inflatable tender in 1980, Caribe Inflatables has grown to produce an extensive line of inflatables and dinghies. The company makes Dinghies, MVPs, Lights, Runabouts, Deluxes, Classics, Universals, Megatenders, and different categories of Rowers. They were one of the first companies to use oversized tubes and a deep V hull. Recessed air valves, oar storage and blade-rests are now standard on their models, and they create interior space by using rounded tube ends for efficiently placing lifelines, oarlocks and blade rests. The boats are protected from damage with rounded, raised, anti-splash, and non-staining rub-strake.
