NMMA Certified Inflatable Dive Boats
All boats need to be certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and inflatable dive boats are no exception. The high quality inflatables manufactured by Sea Eagle meet NMMA manufacturer’s guidelines that assure a better experience to consumers. Sea Eagle designs their own boats suitable for applications that include scuba diving, hunting, fishing, kayaking and pleasure boating.
Sea Eagle currently offers over 15 different inflatables through their online store and via a network of nationwide dealers. The king of the line is the 14’ Sea Eagle 14SR Sport Runabout which makes a great diving boat with its load capacity of 2000 lbs. or 7 divers. The plastic enclosed wooden transom takes a 40 hp outboard to take you to a new scuba diving spot fast. The manufacturer claims a top speed of 30 mph with 2 adults. The boat achieves planing easily due to the rounded rear pontoons.
With its 6’ beam, the Sea Eagle 14SR makes for a stable fishing and scuba diving platform. The 7” diameter keel of this top-of-the-line inflatable boat assures stability and control when the water is choppy. Four air chambers and a reinforced keel provide safety and peace of mind. The roomy interior provides plenty of space for several divers and equipment. Scuba divers can haul themselves into the inflatable with ease using the 5/8” grab lines along the length of the hull.
The Sea Eagle 14SR weighs 187 lbs which includes the weight of the molded floorboards. A trailer is recommended if the engine is permanently mounted on the transom. For scuba divers who don’t mind inflating this boat before use, assembly and inflation takes approx. half an hour. With extras such as aluminum seats, oars, storage bags and a repair kit, this inflatable is an affordable alternative to higher priced aluminum or fiberglass diving boats.
Sea Eagle inflatable boats and kayaks are backed by the manufacturer’s 3 year warranty. Customers can take advantage of a 30 day on-the-water trial. Free shipping is included in the continental United States.
