The finest designs and hand-built quality
Continually keeping ahead of the increasing demands of the marketplace has always been a key component of Avon’s continued success. The company prides itself on teaming the latest technology with traditional hand-crafted techniques to exceptional standards. Individual hand-built products by skilled craftsman are as much a hallmark today as they are in Avon’s history.

Quality Materials
AVON utilizes the best materials available for its products, including Hypalon coated fabric that is renowned for its immense strength and wear. The unique Hypalon ensures that Avon’s craft are virtually unaffected by weather and excesses of heat, cold or humidity, fuel, oil, strong sunlight and everyday abrasion. Avon’s buoyancy tubes are all internally sealed and each product is made up of the highest quality adhesives, fibreglass mouldings, woodwork and inflation valves. Avon ensures that customers have nothing less than first class components, with each being carefully selected and rigorously tested prior to inclusion in the material specification for each model. As testament to the quality, each Avon craft comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Safe and easy to use
Avon’s boats can be assembled, inflated and launched in minutes. Simply unpack, inflate, fasten any deck accessories and the outboard and you’re off! Inflation is easy with Avon’s latest large bore valves, offering quick inflation and secure air holding. The tough new valve cap also provides a secondary seal for added safety. With up to six independent air chambers, wide beams, low centres of gravity and large diameter tubes, you can guarantee that AVON boats are extremely safe.

Carefully designed hulls ensure maximum performance and fuel consumption and each product has been created to be transported with ease. The inflatable models offer light weight designs and can be packed down to a very small size - the rover models with air decks are remarkably easy to store, transport, unpack and use. Even the Rover Ribs 280 310 and Rib Lites can be transported by car rack or by trailer or stowed aboard a sail or motor yacht. All AVON RIBs are suitable to be davit, passarelle or crane hung, dependent on the owner’s needs.
