The riveted boats are made from thin 1/16″ aluminium. Rivets work loose as the thin metal flexes and leaks. Robust Boats are completely welded out of marine-grade 5086 aluminium alloy. They have no rivets to pop, no wood to rot and no plastic or fibreglass to break.

Due to advances in technology, all our boats materials are laser cut to +/- 0.25mm and are fully welded using the 3 phase pulse mig system, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, each boat is pre approved & inspected by MCA / Seafish.
