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:

2. Environmentally friendly manufacturing: We are committed to environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. Gumotex uses natural and synthetic rubber, minimizing the environmental impact compared to traditional PVC materials.
3. Innovation and safety: All our boats are designed for maximum safety and comfort. The boats have a minimum of three air chambers, ensuring that even if one chamber is damaged, the boat will remain afloat.
4. 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.
5. 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.

A more detailed look at the production and materials of Gumotex

How Gumotex boats are made: Production starts with sourcing rubber that is environmentally friendly and easy to repair. This material is obtained by cutting the bark of the rubber tree, which is a sustainable resource. Our process is fully vertically integrated - from raw material to final product, ensuring the highest quality standards.
