Walker Bay Boats is a marine brand specializing in rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), yacht tenders, sport boats, and lightweight inflatable boats. The company focuses on combining rigid hull construction with inflatable tubes to provide stability, performance, comfort, and versatility.

What Are Walker Bay Boats?

Walker Bay’s RIBs combine a rigid hull with inflatable tubes. This design provides a balance of stability, passenger capacity, handling, and buoyancy while keeping the boats suitable for a variety of recreational applications.

Walker Bay says its boats are built in North America and are designed for uses ranging from cruising and fishing to snorkeling, watersports, and yacht tender applications.
