Our Boats
Where durability meets exceptional sea-keeping performance
These incredible sea-keeping Rigid Inflatable Boats have been developed from a rugged commercial and salvage operators range of RIB’s. The hull has been operated for decades by commercial and recreational users in South Africa, with continuous improvement based on real operations. With a deep-V hull giving unsurpassed stability, these boats are designed to handle rough seas, high swells and wind on the Southern African coast which is considered to be the one the most hostile coasts in the world. Basar Boats have taken the rugged platform and designed the deck layout for serious boaters, scuba divers and fishermen. The boats are hand made with massive deck strength and stainless steel fixtures.

Facts about Mehler Texnologies Valmex PVC
Valmex PVC, manufactured by Mehler Texnologies in Fulda, Germany, is a blend of various high quality plastics and the highest available grade of plasticizer. It costs more than double the price of most PVCs. The core reasons that make this fabric preferable to Hypalon are the fact that it can be successfully thermo-bonded and its useable life span as a tube fabric is very similar to Hypalon, at a notably lower cost. Additionally, and very importantly, when boating in remote locations, it can very easily be repaired in the field if required. Valmex is the top of the range in PVC fabrics. The thermo-bonded version of Valmex tubes should exceed 10 years under normal climatic conditions and if maintained regularly.
