Summer on the water is all about making the most of long days, calmer conditions and every opportunity to get afloat.
Whether you are heading from yacht to shore, exploring quiet waters, paddleboarding around a lake, or keeping the family entertained from the beach, the right inflatable kit can make your time on the water easier, safer and a lot more enjoyable.
At Mylor Chandlery & Rigging, our inflatables range covers everything from yacht tenders and paddleboards to pumps, paddles, dinghy wheels, repair essentials and handy accessories. Here are our top picks for a well-equipped summer season.
A good tender is one of the most useful pieces of kit a boat owner can have. It is your link between boat and shore, ideal for ferrying crew, supplies and gear, and a practical option for short trips around anchorages or moorings.
For summer cruising, inflatable tenders are popular because they are stable, portable and easier to store than a rigid dinghy.
Within our range, you will find Aqua Marina yacht tenders in different sizes, including compact options for smaller crews and larger models for extra carrying capacity. Air-deck designs are especially useful when you want a tender that feels firm underfoot but can still be packed away when not in use.
Our Aqua Marina +AIRCAT Inflatable Catamaran Is one of our most popular choices. It is a versatile, ultra-stable inflatable craft designed for fun, fishing, touring and relaxed days on the water.
Its tunnel hull, open bow design and spacious DWF air deck provide excellent stability and usable deck space, while durable PVC construction, multiple air chambers and quick-inflation valves make it practical and reassuring to use.
Stand-up paddleboarding has become a summer favourite for good reason. Inflatable paddleboards are easy to transport, straightforward to store and ideal for gentle adventures around sheltered waters.
The Aqua Marina Blaze 10'4" Inflatable Paddleboard brings a real wow factor to summer paddling, combining a stable all-round SUP design with an advanced illumination system for day and evening adventures. With 7 colour options, dynamic lighting modes and a rechargeable battery pack, it adds visibility and atmosphere on the water.
Built with durable drop-stitch construction, ECO-PRINT technology and heat-fusion welding, it is lightweight, robust and ideal for paddlers who want something practical, fun and eye-catching.
For families or groups, larger boards such as tandem or family touring paddleboards offer extra space and stability.
The Aqua Marina Super Trip Tandem Family Touring iSUP 14'0" is built for shared summer adventures, offering a spacious and stable platform for paddling with family, friends or even the dog.
Its generous 14-foot length and wide 34-inch profile help provide smooth glide, good balance and confident tracking, making it ideal for relaxed touring on calm coastal waters, rivers and harbours. A great choice for anyone looking to enjoy more time together on the water.
For those who prefer sitting down to standing up, an inflatable kayak is a great choice. Kayaks are often easier for beginners to feel comfortable in, and they are perfect for relaxed paddling, wildlife spotting or covering a bit more distance.
The Sevylor Hudson Inflatable Kayak is a spacious and comfortable choice for family days on the water, with room for two adults and one child.
Its broad, stable shape, removable fin and directional strakes help deliver easy handling and excellent manoeuvrability. With three adjustable high-back seats, carry handles, drainage system, spray decks and included carry bag, manometer, fin and repair kit, it is a practical kayak for relaxed summer adventures
Not every summer session needs to be practical. Sometimes it is all about fun. Our watersports range is a great way to add excitement to a day on the water, especially for families and groups.
With popular brands such as Aqua Marina, Airhead, Sevylor, OverBoard and Scanstrut, with options for serious paddlers, family fun and relaxed days afloat.
Whether you are exploring the coastline, upgrading your paddleboard setup or adding more excitement to a day on the boat, the watersports range has practical, high-quality kit to help you make the most of the season.
A pump is not the most glamorous bit of summer kit, but it is one of the most important. A reliable pump saves time, effort and frustration, especially if you regularly inflate paddleboards, kayaks, dinghies or towables.
Hand and foot pumps are useful as simple, dependable options to keep on board. Electric pumps are ideal when you want to inflate larger items with less effort.
Our pumps and inflators range includes foot pumps, stirrup pumps, 12V inflators, rechargeable pumps, pressure gauges and hose fittings, helping you get the right pressure for your inflatable and check it as you go.
Our best selling Seago Portable Air Flow 350 Electric Pump is a powerful, lightweight and rechargeable pump, designed to make inflating and deflating summer kit quick and effortless.
Ideal for inflatable boats, paddleboards, air mattresses and larger inflatables, it features dual motor technology, a clear digital display, deflate mode and a 16 PSI maximum pressure.
With a 6000mAh rechargeable battery, car socket charging option, USB charging output, LED lights and six adapters included, it is a practical, portable choice for days on the water.
The right paddle makes a big difference. A lightweight, adjustable paddle is ideal for paddleboarding, while kayak paddles and canoe paddles suit different styles of craft. It is also worth keeping spare oars or paddles on board if you use a tender regularly.
The Aqua Marina Pastel Purple Adjustable Fiberglass/Carbon iSUP Paddle is a stylish, lightweight upgrade for summer paddleboarding. Designed for beginners and experienced paddlers alike, it combines a fibreglass shaft with a reinforced blade for a solid, efficient stroke with less fatigue. Its adjustable 3-piece design makes it easy to set to the right height, pack away and transport, while the rubber T-bar handle gives a comfortable, secure grip on the water.
We stock a range of paddles for dinghies, kayaks, canoes and iSUPs, including multi-piece options that are easy to store and transport. Adjustable paddles are especially handy if several people will be using the same board or boat.
Salt, sand, UV and general summer use all take their toll on inflatables. A quick rinse after use is always worthwhile, but proper cleaning products can help keep tubes, decks and fenders looking better for longer.
Inflatable boat and fender cleaners are useful for removing marks and grime, while regular checks help you spot wear before it becomes a bigger problem. A little care through the season can extend the life of your kit and keep it ready for the next sunny weekend.
The Autosol Marine Inflatable Boat & Fender Cleaner is a powerful marine cleaner designed to remove dirt, grime, salt residue, oxidation and stubborn marks from inflatable boats and fenders.
