The FISHALOT is yet another exciting addition to ARK's fleet of inflatables.
This watercraft has a variety of uses, from white water canoeing, to fishing or
crayfishing, to yacht tendering to using as the family holiday inflatable…..
what you use it for is up to you and the options are endless.
The FISHALOT is very buoyant. It is a longer boat than the Fishduc and has
a high performance tube shape, thereby satisfying the needs of those who want all
the pros of the Fishduc's versatility but want a bigger boat.
The FISHALOT is now the most efficient
boat around. It easily cruises for two
hours at a speed of 15 knots with 5hp motor and three litres of fuel AND it has
space for 4 people. It is designed to
take up to a 10hp motor. The FISHALOT is highly recommended as a remote
expedition boat as it is capable of travelling great distances on minimal fuel
and still having space for loads up to 600kgs.
There are two model options, either with
a wooden floor (Model FT420W) or an air floor (Model FT420A).
FISHALOT is fitted with an adjustable
seating system so you can choose the most comfortable seating position for you.
You can select to have either a wooden bench or inflatable cushions and
backrests. When packed it's size is 110cm x 45cm x 45cm - definitely small
enough to fly in to any exotic location. Many people choose the FISHALOT for commercial applications such as search and
rescue, patrolling and wildlife management. The FISHALOT has quickly become the
boat of choice for any remote river
explorations.
The FISHALOTs standard features include:
- Adjustable seating
system and two seats
- Double skin
underside
- 75 mm big mouth
bailer and plug
- Grab lines
- 6 x Stainless
steel heavy duty D rings
- Transom rated to
10 hp, 45 kg engine
- Dropthread
Airfloor or Marine ply floorboards
- Aluminium Transom
plates
- Carry handles for
easy portage
Its flat profile allows it to glide
easily over the water and the highly effective bailing system ensures you are
ready for the next big wave always. Like all of ARK's craft, the FISHALOT is
durable and built to withstand extreme conditions.

Do you dream of a boat that you can use to run rivers in, float and fish with, explore waterways? A boat that could be used as a kick boat, a float tube, a rowing boat or a motor boat? Something that gives you an expedition grade raft that also provides you with freedom and speed and agility? A highly versatile, multi-functional one person craft? Where could you find such a boat?
Dream no more ARK have just such a boat for you. Introducing the DRAGONFLY KICKBOAT DF285
The beauty of this boat is that you can have it out of the bag and into the water in minutes. It is the ultimate frameless, pure inflatable, hybrid kickboat that is simply deployed by inflating the tube. Both comfort and safety were given high priority in the design of this boat. The generous tube and chunky, inflatable floor/seat are the tubes that provide the space and buoyancy to carry the angler and all the extra equipment, without compromising stability and safety. The large tube also reduces the draft, allowing you to manoeuver into the shallowest of places and best of all - it keeps your backside dry!
This craft was designed to encompass performance, comfort, ruggedness and easy portage AND to accommodate the needs of anglers. The Dragonfly is designed with an inflatable floor combined with an adjustable upholstered foam seat with a backrest that will provide you with hours of comfortable angling and exploring.
This highly versatile, multi-functional one person craft is easily deployed by simply inflating the tube.
You can easily row or motor to your destination on large still-waters, pack the oars away, and use your fins for fine control, just like a float tube.
You can make use of the open floor design to fin the kickboat into position keeping your hands free for casting and landing fish. Another option would be to rest your feet and fins on the adjustable rest bar and use the oars to propel the kickboat to new fishing locations or across flowing waterways. Once you are in position in shallow water you can stand up and wade while the Dragonfly floats around you, and if you wish to hop to another pool, you can lift the kickboat off the water for easy portage with specially placed carry handles.
The Dragonfly has been cleverly designed to cater for a range of requirements and has plenty of stowage space for anchors, drogues, fishing bags and a cooler box.
The Dragonfly also features backpack style straps that allow you to carry the inflated kickboat short distances, especially handy if you need to get to inaccessible places.
