Aerowave Viper · 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm
More years of boating. Start with the hull.
A low purchase price is only one part of the decision. Your boat has to handle beach landings, hot days and family weekends for years. Our Viper Series and Sport Series are designed and built to address four practical problems — with 1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus at the heart of the hull.
The fabric is a decision you make once
Our lightweight range · AeroCat
1100 decitex / 0.9 mm VALMEX®
- Lightweight fabric for easier carrying and storage

- A different hull specification from Viper Heavy Plus
Aerowave Viper & Sport Series
1500 GSM / 1.2 mm VALMEX® Heavy Plus

- Designed for beach landings and demanding boating
- Expected fabric service life: 10–12 years with appropriate care
Travelling with a caravan? Check the actual packed boat weight against your vehicle’s payload. Choose AeroCat for carrying weight, or Viper for the heavier hull fabric. The best choice fits both your load limits and the water you use.
The true-cost calculator

The four things that ruin inflatable boats
These are real boating problems, not just specifications on a page. Our Viper Series and Sport Series boats are designed and built to address all four — so the choice makes sense on the water, not just at checkout.
A seam failure that ends the weekend
Heat and repeated pressure cycles put tube seams under stress.
Thermo-welded tube seams fuse the coated fabric together, reducing reliance on glued tube joints.
A scrape that becomes a repair
Beach landings and submerged branches put the hull coating to work.
1500 GSM / 1.2 mm German VALMEX® Heavy Plus provides a substantial protective hull coating. No inflatable is puncture-proof.
Tubes going drum-tight in the sun
Air expands as it warms, increasing pressure inside the tubes.
Pressure-relief valves release excess pressure automatically. Keep following the boat’s inflation and care instructions.
The motor revs. The boat loses drive.
Prop ventilation can interrupt a trip when air reaches the propeller.
A 380 mm transom helps keep the prop immersed; a high-pressure air deck supports hull stiffness. Check the model’s deck limit, up to 12 PSI, and match the engine correctly.
Buy once. Boat for years.
