Why choose the Gumotex brand

As the largest Gumotex boat dealer in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we know why our boats are so popular. Gumotex boasts a nearly 70-year tradition of manufacturing inflatable boats that are synonymous with quality and innovation. 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:

1. Unique material and technology: Gumotex boats are not made from ordinary PVC, but from rubber - a natural material that provides excellent durability and flexibility. By producing our own materials, we have full control over the quality of the manufacturing process.
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.
