Comfort and Style
One of the most important aspects of any boating experience is comfort. If you're spending a lot of time on your inflatable boat, it's essential to make sure that you're comfortable while you're out on the water. One way to do this is by adding a comfortable seat or cushion. One of our favorite options are the underseat storage bags available from Achilles and Zodiac. These fit over most aluminum bench seats and provide storage AND comfort.
Another way to add comfort and style to your inflatable boat is by adding a sun shade or canopy. Not only does this provide protection from the sun's harmful rays, but it also gives your boat a more stylish and sophisticated look.
Looking to have a bimini or shade canopy installed on your boat? Call Boat Specialists at 805-644-6290 and ask about bimini installation options on your new inflatable. We can also put together a self-install bimini kit for shipping.
Improved Functionality
Inflatable boats are designed to be functional and practical, but there are many accessories available that can improve their performance even further. For example, you can add an outboard motor to your boat to make it easier to navigate through the water. Need recommendations on inflatable boat and outboard motor pairings? Call our sales department at 805-644-6290 or reach out to sales@boatspecialists.com.
Another way to improve the functionality of your inflatable boat is by adding Railblaza ports.
These ports allow easy optimization of working space on an inflatable. With 1 port, you can fit a growing number of accessories; anything from rod holders to navigation lights to drink holders and more! This is perfect for those who enjoy fishing and extra comforts while they're out on the water AND within arms reach! Place as many ports as you want throughout the boat!

Launch wheels are another category of immensely useful component to add to inflatable boats. Whether you are launching at the lake, beach, or rocky shore; launch wheels make the process of getting the boat into and out of the water EASY!
Storage
Inflatable boats are designed to be compact and easy to store, but there are still many accessories available to help you make the most of the storage space on your boat. For example, you can add a cooler to your boat to keep drinks and food cold while you're out on the water. Coolers are available in different sizes and styles, making it easy to find one that is perfect for your boat. We’ve got a wide selection of Canyon coolers in our retail location of 6060 Nicolle St., Ventura, CA 93003.
Another way to make the most of your storage space is by adding a storage bag or basket. This is perfect for keeping your gear organized and easily accessible while you're out on the water. Zodiac offers a unique bow bag available for their Cadet series of boats.
Boat covers are another important item to have on hand for protecting your boat from damaging UV rays. Boat covers not only protect your boat from the sun but also help keep them clean and free of the elements. Browse our selection of boat covers here!
Safety
Inflatable boats are generally safe, but it's still important to take steps to ensure your safety while you're out on the water. One way to do this is by adding navigation lights, and basic safety essentials such as life jackets and oars to your boat. This is a great way to make sure that you always have the essentials with you while you're out on the water.
In conclusion, accessorizing your inflatable boat is a great way to personalize and improve your boating experience.
