Manufacturers of inflatable boats - boatyards

In July 1996 Eurovinil became part of the English Group Wardle Storeys and in 2002 of the Survitec Group of companies.
At present, the range of Eurovinil covers liferafts for the Merchant Navy, for cruise and fishing vessels and for the leisure navigation in the marine field and pneumatic structures for field hospitals, logistics and maintenance, NBC protection systems as well as ultra-light liferafts for the Air Forces in the Defence & Aerospace sector.

Falcon Inflatables started as a hobby of one of the original industry pioneers, Marius Heyneman. His involvement in boating started in the mid 1970’s and along with a handful of enthusiasts at the time laid the foundations for the South African inflatable boat industry. Inflatable boat racing was born, and along with it demand for locally produced boats grew. In 1985, demand reached the point where it was feasible to start manufacturing.
