IA260 – 2.6m Island Inflatable Boat + Parsun Joy 3 (3HP Electric Outboard)

Unbeatable Boat & Electric Motor Package Deal

The Perfect Mid-Size Tender & Compact Inflatable Package

The Island IA260 inflatable boat paired with the Parsun Joy 3 electric outboard delivers the ideal balance of portability, stability, and usable deck space. At 2.6m in length, this model is the perfect step up from smaller tenders—offering more room, improved stability, and greater load capacity while still remaining lightweight and easy to transport.

Designed primarily as a yacht and cruiser tender for vessels up to 25–30ft, the IA260 is also a great holiday inflatable boat thanks to its compact pack-down size and car or caravan-friendly design.

Premium Inflatable Boat Construction

Heavy-Duty Valmex® PVC Construction

Built using 1100 denier (0.9mm) marine-grade Valmex® PVC, providing excellent durability, UV resistance, and long-term performance in harsh Australian conditions.

High-Frequency Thermo-Welded Seams (HFTW)

All seams are permanently fused using advanced high-frequency thermo-welding technology. This creates a strong, heat-resistant bond designed to withstand Australia’s harsh sun and demanding marine environments.

AIR-Deck High-Pressure Floor

The inflatable Air-Deck floor provides a rigid, stable platform for standing, rowing, and boarding, while still keeping the boat lightweight and highly portable.

Optimised Mid-Size Design

At 2.6m, the IA260 delivers improved stability and interior space compared to smaller tenders, making it more comfortable for passengers and gear.
