Clay Builder explains the advantages of a modular inflatable system which offers a variety of solutions for guests and crew
S
ince winning the Deck category DAME award in 2015 NautiBuoy Marine has gone on to achieve phenomenal
success with its versatile range of modular platforms and accessories, with a variety of uses, from a highly attractive and luxurious swim and sunbathing platform, to a jet-ski dock or as a sturdy base for carrying out essential maintenance tasks the platforms appeal to owners and crew. One year on and they have launched yet another modular addition to their inflatable range the C-Dock, the docking station for seabobs.
DESIGN TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS The beauty of the innovative modular system is that you can design the extension to suit your yacht without the need for heavy lifting. The largest platform weighs just 42kg and can be carried easily by 2 crewmembers.
With the platforms available in 4 different sizes and with endless linking possibilities available you can create the transom extension in the design and size you require. Ranging from watersports stations, jet-ski & seabob docks, walkways to inflatable aqua parks, large beach club relaxation areas or any other use you can think of. Their design team is on hand to help you work out the perfect configuration for your yacht. Plus all of their platforms come with a luxurious teak foam finish designed to fit in with the lines of any yacht.
WATERSPORTS STATION The platforms and seabob docks can be linked together using their rather clever, entrapment free ‘Air Toggle’ linking system that has no mechanical or hard parts.
Link two platforms together in a T-shape to create a super, stable jet-ski dock, add the modular, seabob docks and you have that perfect watersports base. This is an example set up, but you really can create whatever you need. Clay Builder explains, “We wanted to create an easy to set up extension to the yacht where the toys and the yacht could be kept protected, whilst offering a safe stable base for the guests to enjoy watersports with easy access to all the toys.”
It’s not just the guests that benefit though. The crew can too. The seabobs can be kept on hand in between guest use to save on unnecessary lifting, less damage to transoms, jet-skis and seabobs means less repairs, plus with the option to convert the platforms into a maintenance raft with a fully protective cover the tender can be left guest ready.
DESIGNED BY YACHTSMEN NautiBuoy’s design team is headed up by two ex-yacht crew. You can tell they have that eye for detail too. “Our product designs have come out of the frustrations we felt
as yacht crew,” explains Clay. “We didn’t want to end up designing something that frustrated the crew even more than the problems that we were solving.”
There are no hard parts on the sides or undersides to scratch the boat or mark the deck, the maximum weight of any piece is easy to carry for two people (42kg) so larger extensions can be made without fear of how to move them, modular means you naturally get multiple air chambers for safety, each platform comes with 4 extra large Ballast Bags with dump, designed to fill automatically and dump instantly, the platforms are quick to assemble and pack down inflating/deflating in under 5 minutes, plus they roll up like a carpet so can be stored quickly and easily without taking up too much room.
NautiBuoy also has a range of leisure and maintenance accessories to help you make the most of your platform.
