ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Our engineer, Simone, wanted to design an inflatable boat that would be entirely suited to carp fishing, and no detail was spared!
With this in mind, Simone drafted up a comprehensive and rigorous design brief. Here are the 4 key design points:
- STABILITY
- AVAILABLE SPACE
- PRACTICALITY
A BOAT DEVELOPED, DESIGNED AND TESTED IN FRANCE!
Working with our colleagues at ITIWIT's French design centre*, we were able to benefit from their unparalleled expertise, enabling us to guarantee an exceptional level of manufacturing quality.
High standards and a professional touch were the bases of our collaboration. Several engineers joined us in the ITIWIT labs to develop our VENTUS boat range.
*The ITIWIT brand (DECATHLON) specialises in the design and development of inflatable paddle boards and kayaks.
ROBUSTNESS and PRACTICALITY
- EXTENSIVE REINFORCEMENTS
To guarantee excellent resistance, we have fitted each Ventus with reinforcements around and under the flanges: take to the water without a worry!
We also reinforced the transom in order to protect your sonar mounts.
- TIME-SAVING
No need to pull back the bottom on the Ventus, save precious time when inflating and deflating the boat.
- INNOVATIVE ACCESSORIES
How to optimise the practicality of your inflatable boat.
Through innovative accessories...
OUR INNOVATIONS
After thorough testing, we have validated 2 innovations both useful and ingenious.
- LANDING-NET ATTACHMENT
Everyone has their own technique for placing the landing net in your inflatable boat, but the solution never seems to be ideal. Well, now it can be! Save time, and improve efficiency and increase the space available with our system.
- BAKKAN ATTACHMENT
Optimise space in your boat with Bakkans, which you can attach to your boat tubes. Different sizes, just need to find the best set-up!
OPTIMISATION OF USABLE SPACE
Bakkans are storage bags, which will transform your boat space.
They allow you to remove buckets to gain space, and offer great arrangement options for your space.
Every angler will discover the best solution for their fishing style. Nevertheless, here’s a suggestion for an efficient set-up:
- large bakkan for bait and lures
- medium-sized bakkan for preparations (meal, liquid sticks, dips, etc.)
- small bakkan for accessories (sinkers, needles, bait stops, files, rigs, etc.)
STABILITY
- HIGH-PRESSURE INFLATABLE BOTTOM
The Ventus guarantees incredible stability thanks the thickness and robustness of its bottom. This board has the added benefit of being silent, even as you walk on it. The material used (Drop Stitch) is developed with two layers of PVC, with polyester threads between them.
- EXTREMELY WIDE
The significant width also contributes to the Ventus boat’s stability. It also creates a great amount of storage space.
AVAILABLE SPACE
We have optimised the use of space in the Ventus thanks to 2 key factors:
1/ It’s large width considerably increases the usable space available.
2/ The Bakkan attachments and the landing-net attachment save a lot of space.
- THE RESULT
A Ventus which is smaller than you current inflatable boat would probably suit your needs just as well, if not better.
- THE ADVANTAGES
A smaller model is LIGHTER, more COMPACT, and most importantly, more ECONOMIC!
LIGHTWEIGHT
We’ve really optimised the weight of the Ventus in order to make it as easy as possible to transport and manoeuvre. Here are the weights of the various models:
- Ventus 180: 21 kg
- Ventus 230: 31 kg
- Ventus 270: 37 kg
- Ventus 320: 43 kg
The weights provided include: the boat + the inflatable bottom + the seat + the 2 oars.
