What's the difference between the Hydrus Lite and Pro models?
Both versions share the same core Hydrus hull. The Pro model includes additional factory-fitted features and mounting options, while the Lite is a simpler setup priced £300 less.
Are Hydrus boats designed and tested in the UK?
All Hydrus boats are designed and developed in the UK by Inflatable Boat Fishing Ltd, manufactured at our approved factory in China, and independently tested in the UK by HPi-CEproof Ltd.
What engine size is recommended for a Hydrus boat?
Engine size depends on boat size, load and intended use. Many anglers pair Hydrus boats with lightweight outboards such as the Tohatsu 9.8hp or 15hp. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to recommend a suitable engine based on your setup.
What warranty comes with a Hydrus boat?
Hydrus boats come with a 5 year manufacturer-backed warranty for the tubes and a 1 year warranty for all fixings. Full warranty details are provided with each boat, and support is available directly from Inflatable Boat Fishing Ltd.
Is the Hydrus easy to transport and store?
Yes. Hydrus boats are designed to be portable, deflating for easy transport and storage, making them ideal for anglers without trailers or permanent moorings.
