Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the world's lightest stand-up fishing boat.
How much does the AIRKREFT weigh?
The complete AIRKREFT boat weighs approximately 3kg (6.6 lbs). For context, that's lighter than most fishing tackle boxes. The total package including the thruster, pump, and carry bag weighs approximately 8kg.
How long does it take to inflate?
With the included high-pressure pump, full inflation takes approximately 5 minutes. The Drop-Stitch floor requires 10-15 PSI to achieve its rigid, stand-up capable state.
Can you really stand on it?
Yes. The Drop-Stitch floor uses thousands of high-tenacity polyester threads bonded between the top and bottom TPU layers. When inflated to operating pressure, it creates a rigid platform that supports 150kg+ while standing. It's the same technology used in premium inflatable SUP boards.
What are the electric thruster specs?
The included electric thruster provides silent, zero-emission propulsion. It mounts to the stern and is powered by a standard 12V battery (not included). It provides enough thrust to cruise at 3-4 km/h, allowing you to cover large bodies of water without paddling.
How durable is the TPU material?
Our proprietary TPU has a tear strength exceeding 80 N/mm — more than double standard PVC marine fabric. It resists abrasion from rocks, gravel, and rough terrain. It maintains full flexibility down to -30C, and has 500% elongation at break, meaning it absorbs impacts rather than puncturing.
What warranty does AIRKREFT offer?
We offer a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This includes seam integrity, valve function, and TPU material defects. The electric thruster carries its own 1-year warranty.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship to the United States, Canada, EU countries, UK, Australia, and Japan. Shipping costs vary by destination. Pre-order customers receive priority shipping with estimated delivery within 2-4 weeks of the production run completing.

What's included in the box?
Every AIRKREFT package includes: the inflatable fishing boat, electric thruster, high-pressure pump, and a compact carry bag. No expensive add-ons required — everything you need to get on the water is included.
Is TPU better for the environment than PVC?
Yes. Our TPU is fully recyclable — it's a thermoplastic that can be melted and reformed. Unlike PVC, it contains zero phthalates or plasticizers that can leach into waterways. Our TPU is REACH compliant, meeting the EU's strictest chemical safety standards.
