subject: Types of Inflatable Boats: Workboats [print this page] What are workboats? They are boats that are used not personal use but for "work" and "commercial" reasons. Many harbors are into using inflatable workboats as pilot boats. They are also used as the main mode of transportation for sea and water patrols. A large percentage of fishermen are using inflatable workboats as yawl boats, also as net tenders. Commercial areas near the waterfront especially resorts all have inflatable workboats to facilitate ease in transportation. Gone are the days when large barges and towboats have dinghies attached astern.
There are construction companies that use inflatable workboats too for transporting materials and supplies. Workboats can also be used as pontoon bridges albeit temporarily. Even the military uses inflatable workboats for missions in the sea. These workboats are also the perfect choice for rescue missions in case of flooding and boating disasters.
The use of workboats is gaining popularity in all sectors. Workboats are varied as there are so many manufacturers that there are also so many designs and specifications of workboats. Inflatable workboats are such a huge market that discussing the different types and styles is possible but not practical. However, the next time that you are near the sea and catch a glimpse of the bright orange Avon RIBS manned by Coast Guard, wave and say "that is one spanking great workboat! "
