What sets Newport apart? The crisp white PVC fabric of a Newport dinghy not only earns you regular compliments at the dock, but also makes you easy to spot while cruising across the water at speeds ranging from 15-20mph, depending on the model and horsepower. The inflatable tail tubes provide great stability and quick takeoffs, while the inflatable keel allows for excellent planing and steering. This boat is highly portable and can be assembled or disassembled in just 10-15 minutes.

Features of this Newport inflatable dinghy include compatibility with electric trolling motors, as well as the ability to accommodate 3-20hp outboard motors (depending on the model). The air keel creates a shaped V hull for easy planing and improved steering, and the boat also includes sturdy carrying handles, 3x stainless steel bow D-rings for towing, D-rings on the bow/tail tubes for bimini and accessory attachments, a self-bailing transom drain valve, and an easy grab rope with a splash guard around the edges to limit water spray inside the boat.

The premium quality of this Newport dinghy is evident in its construction. The hull is made from high quality crisp white PVC fabric with UV treatment and boasts a .9mm/1100D thickness, while the floor is constructed from aluminum framed marine grade coated plywood, providing a solid and stable surface for standing, casting, and planing. The seams are heat welded using the latest technology to ensure durability.
