Our boat is a Mono Hull boat designed by Solas out of New Zealand, it is one of a kind in Kona, with an added fold down swim-step in the back for additional stability while the boat is stopped. The boat is constructed from high grade Aluminum and has an inflatable collar around the outside to help act as a “bumper” in close quarters with other boats. The inflatable part of our vessel has nothing to do with the ability of the boat to float and maneuver in the water, it does help make the boat more stable and comfortable but the vessel will not sink with out it. The technical term for any boat aficionados is “Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat”
