The Kolibri K-180F Air-Deck inflatable raft is a single-person vessel with compact dimensions and a shape resembling a lifebuoy or a floating chair. Due to this non-standard design, these boats are often called "float tubes" or "floating horseshoes". These features make it ideal for fishing, providing convenience and maneuverability on the water.

Let's start with history

The history of inflatable rafts dates back to the First World War, when they began to be used as a means of overcoming water obstacles. Despite the fact that their popularity has decreased over time, these boats are now becoming popular again, especially among fishermen. In Europe, they have become especially popular, and competitions are even held in which these unusual boats are used. A distinctive feature of inflatable boats is their belonging to a special category of watercraft, which has its own unique history and specialized names that can surprise even experienced fishermen. The main purpose of these boats is fishing. Being at water level, the fisherman feels a special contact with nature. These Kolibri rowing inflatable boats are easy to control, can move on the water, and also stay in place while fishing, most often using feet or flippers. Some models are supplemented with oars or motors. Such boats have special places for fishing rods, bags, and other necessary equipment, and the use of thermal underwear and waders is mandatory.
