Born A Classic
Developed From Innovation
The Pacific Northwest is widely regarded for its stunning waterways and some of the most treacherous and inspiring coastlines. These waterways, with their constantly changing conditions, drove the Classic's design.
The boat's hull is made from the same material as the rest of the boat, but with increased thickness and abrasion resistance. With this as our starting point, we added additional protection on any high wear or impact zones. With an attentive focus on every aspect of how the Classic was designed, you can beach your boat in even the toughest terrain. The Classic is at home in the ocean or the most pristine lake.
Tougher Than Tough
With the use of the highest quality PVC Material, thermally welded seams, ample reinforcement and protection on all high wear and impact areas, the Swellfish Classic line is tough enough to take on any extreme adventure.The bottom of the hull has a strategically placed rub strake and added material. This helps the boat avoid any punctures while it remains as light as possible.Inside the boat, extra material was added to any spots that see extra wear. This includes the seat and floor areas
Safety At Its Core
A Workhorse At Heart
When you compare a 14 foot Jon Boat with an average payload of 700lbs to our Classic 430 with a max payload of 2600lbs you can see why this boat is not only popular with the coast guard. Our boats are equipped with 3 to 5 air chambers depending on the size, and there is an over-inflation valve. In addition to inflatable boats having a much higher weight capacity, the design makes them far more stable than a Jon boat. No more shifting to balance the boat.
Made To Go Anywhere
When it comes to boats, many options can get you on the water. The advantages found in an inflatable boat are what drives our customers to the Classic line. Inflatable boat buoyancy comes from both the air chambers and the deep V-hull rather than just the hull displacing water. This is where safety and stability come from.
Explore Without Limitations
Only a boat that is over-engineered can prepare you for any adventure you might find yourself on. Compact and light enough to be flown in on a floatplane or helicopter, we genuinely believe that your gear should not limit your explorations or adventures. With this in mind, we have overbuilt our boats to give you a product that you can use for years and the ability to upgrade it to suit all of the adventures you are going on.

Find The Right Classic
5 Sizes For Any Adventure
-
Classic 350
We know we say max 7 people, but realistically 2 adults with their fishing and camping gear will leave just a bit of room to lounge.
-
Classic 390
Perfect for a small family or you and your dog on a multi-night adventure through the Pacific North West
-
Classic 430
The same increased stability of the 470 but a little less room. 3 adults, cooler and crab traps still feels roomy
-
Classic 470
The extra room means you can take 6 adults, the dog and all the gear you need for your hunting or fishing adventure in one trip
Let customers speak for us
Swellfish was good to work with. The motor is prone to kickbacks and I would have gone with the electric start despite the extra weight if I could go back. Hopefully the kickbacks will ease up when the motor is more broken in. UPS destroyed the package in route then charged us an extra 50 bucks to release the motor. Neither of these were Swellfish's fault and I would buy from them again. There was also an issue with customs at the border, but Swellfish helped with that. 5 stars for the customer service. Time will tell with the motor...
Your company did a great job
Very nice. I love this motor...
I was apprehensive about the jet until I had it out on the water. Greg helped me dial in my setup and made the performance much better. I have yet to hit crazy water with it but this boat is great
Still I’m the box. I will set it up soon.
We love our ultralight! It is such a great light, yet strong and capable boat. So happy we chose to go with this one.
We looked for a solution to install a Scottie downrigger to our inflatable. The SwellFish works well. We have used it down to 150 feet with no issues. We have also used it to attach the The Brute crab and prawn puller. It works well with that too. The prawn traps are 350 feet down and will a full trap, very heavy with a lot of resistance pulling up.
Easy assemble, robust materials. Definitely best bang for the buck! Perfect size for a small family.
Brought it to no where Alaska and the boat runs the rivers great.
I love my Ultralight 310! It sets up and tears down easy with the automatic pump. Takes up about half of my 5' truck box with room left for other gear. It's super stable when standing up to cast when fishing. The inside floor is not totally flat with how the air chambers are done, but it is really firm and you figure out where to step when fly fishing pretty quickly.
The 310 is a good size for me, a fairly large boat bag, and a child. Two adults could use it, but you'd probably want to minimize the gear you brought. When solo, there's lots of room.
I can set it up and lift it back into the truck by myself as a man in his later 30's.
A few months back I was looking for a boat just for fishing lakes within BC. I first came across Swellfish at an outdoor show and there it was! Looked at other competitors asked lot's of questions did more research and I was sold! I was not into just buying a boat to get me in the water and get me me fishing. I wanted something fully customized to my needs, in addition to the great package at the time. Greg was fantastic and worked withe me every step of the way to ensure I was taken care of. The Swellfish product is amazing and the service goes above and beyond. Thank you
Great product well built!
sturdy repair, its better than the factory d ring
Your company offers outstanding customer, service, and products. I have recommended to several family and friends. That said, the boat cover originally purchased. Didn’t hold up to the weather in regards to the color And overall durability while being used for both traveling and boat storage. Your company stood behind a product and sent me a replacement, and I look forward to comparing to my original purchase.
Livraison parfaite emballage super reviendrai au printemps pour d'autre commentaire merci
