Experience the Navigator Inflatable Boat LP 320BK: European-Quality Craftsmanship from Ukraine with a Proven 15-Year Reputation, 3-Person Capacity, U-Shaped Cylinder Construction, and Reinforced Waterproof Transom
The Navigator was designed for use on large rivers and lakes with a unique feature: a variable diameter of U-shaped cylinders, decreasing from the stern to the boatās bow. Navigator inflatable boats can be put in āplaning modeā even with small engines because their bows are raised (āchiselledā) and their hull is constructed of smooth curves rather than sharp angles. This makes them less likely to get stuck under rocks or smash into waves head-on.
Navigator Ā models are optimized for the BEST performance, just like most recent mobile devices designed to achieve an optimal output. They use marine-grade plywood, covered with additional waterproof varnish layers, instead of weighty aluminum floors, which oxidize relatively quickly. This means you can take more weight on board, and it is easier to install the boat and transport it!Ā
The āLP Navigatorā series of keel boats with a book floor type are represented by the LP 240BK and LP 270BK models with a 2-person capacity and the LP 290BK, LP 300BK and LP 320BK models, which can accommodate up to 3 persons.
The boats are heat-welded using high-quality German PVC Valmex or Plastel produced by Mehler Texnologies with a density of 750 ā 1000 g / m2. This increases their lifecycle and minimizes air leakage from the seams.
The Cylinders are divided into 4 pressurized compartments (nose, left, right, and an inflatable keel). Thanks to the full cut of the fabric, the patented boat shape has 4 circular and 2 longitudinal seams, which ensures high tightness of the cylinders and minimizes seam leakage.

ā Do I need a boating license for an inflatable boat?
To operate an inflatable boat with a motor, you need a pleasure craft operator license. For fishing, you may also need extra licenses and permits, depending on your location. Check the List of Accredited Service Providers for more information.
ā How do you repair or patch up holes in my inflatable boat?
The Standard Navigator roll-up boat comes with a patch kit. A small repair kit will consist of a valve unscrew tool, glue and PVC patches. For complex boat repairs, talk to a professional technician. For additional boat guides, check the āRepairsā section of the Navigator Inflatable Boats User Manual.
