Boatworld, the UK’s leading specialist in inflatable boats and watersports gear, is thrilled to announce the UK show debut of two highly anticipated compact additions to its best-selling small inflatable boat (SIB) line-up at the Southampton International Boat Show 2026. Exhibiting at Stand P43 in The Power Hub, Boatworld will officially unveil the new Cruiser 320 and Carbon Pro 330.
Meeting growing market demand for lighter, single-handed watercraft, these new models scale down the footprints of Boatworld’s larger flagship variants without compromising the robust durability, safety, and high-specification design the brand is known for.
With Southampton serving as the UK’s premier showcase for luxury yachting, Boatworld has tailored this launch to address a core challenge for modern skippers: sourcing a tender that delivers substantial on-water performance yet remains exceptionally manageable.
The Cruiser 320 and Carbon Pro 330 offer the ideal size-to-weight sweet spot for yacht owners seeking larger, highly capable tenders suited to transom davits. Their smart weight distribution, optimised lifting points, and lightweight structures mean motorboat and sailing yacht owners can enjoy a spacious, secure shore-access vessel without overloading their davit systems or cluttering the aft deck.
While these models excel as premium yacht tenders, they retain the ultimate versatility required by a diverse spectrum of outdoor enthusiasts:
“Our customers absolutely love the build quality of our larger Cruiser and Carbon Pro ranges, but the feedback was clear: they wanted options that are easier to handle single-handedly, lift onto davits or roof racks, or stow away in tight spaces without losing that premium feel,” says Nicola Middleton-Groom, Managing Director at Boatworld. “These two new models strike the absolute perfect balance between portability and on-water performance.” Nicola Middleton-Groom, Managing Director.
