Each boat is made from premium materials with attention to detail and the environment, making it your reliable partner on every water adventure.
Reasons to choose Gumotex:

- Practicality and comfort: Gumotex boats are designed to provide plenty of space and are easy to transport. Most models come in a waterproof backpack that makes the boat easy to carry and store.
- Customer service: We offer comprehensive warranty and post-warranty service, advice on choosing a boat and ensure the availability of spare parts even for models that are no longer standard.
