Neil has welded inflatable boats for 35 years
He started Seafarer at Dairy Flat in 2014, after three decades building inflatables for other names. The team is small enough that the person who welds your tubes is the person who answers the phone.
Meet the workshopThe machine that runs the second bead is his own build
Every seam gets welded on the water side and again on the air side. That second weld is why a Seafarer tube can carry ten years, transferable, and why the trade sends us the boats it cannot fix.
