Small package, big fun

The AirDeck 270 is the most portable boat in the Wavefella range —a compact 2.7-meter inflatable that packs into a carry bag small enough for any car trunk. Despite its size, the high-pressure air-deck floor provides a rigid standing surface that rivals larger boats.

Construction

  • 0.9 mm PVC tubes with UV-resistant coating
  • High-pressure drop-stitch air deck (12 PSI)
  • Two independent air chambers for redundancy
  • Reinforced transom for electric trolling motor

Package Includes

  • Boat hull with integrated air deck
  • Two aluminum oars with plastic blades
  • High-output hand pump with pressure gauge
  • Repair kit with PVC patches
  • Heavy-duty carry bag
  • One removable rowing seat

Ideal For

  • Solo fishing on small lakes and ponds
  • Couple recreation and camping
  • Tender for larger vessels
  • Exploring slow rivers and sheltered coves

Designed For

  • Resort & Hotel Tenders: Compact tender for waterfront properties needing a small, portable boat for guest access to moored vessels or offshore floats. Fits in any car trunk.
  • Lakefront Cabins & Campgrounds: Ultra-portable 2.7 m boat ideal for cabin rentals and campgrounds with lake access. Electric trolling motor compatible for quiet exploration.
  • Sailboat & Yacht Tenders: Lightweight tender for marina-based guests needing a stable dinghy for shore transfers. Packs small enough for yacht deck storage.
  • Solo & Couple Recreation: 2-person capacity suits couples and solo anglers. 450 kg load rating accommodates gear-heavy trips.

Not Designed For

  • Commercial Rental Fleets (daily): 2-person capacity limits rental revenue per trip. Consider AirDeck 360 (4-5 person) for rental operations.
  • Guided Tour Groups: Insufficient capacity for group excursions. Consider AirDeck 360 or rigid-hull options for guided tours.
  • Offshore & Exposed Waters: Compact size and 2-chamber design limits seaworthiness in waves or wind. Protected waters only.
  • Outboard Motor Planing: Designed for electric trolling motors and small outboards at displacement speeds. Not for planing.
  • Water Skiing & Towing: No towing hardware. Compact transom is not reinforced for tow rope loads.
