A brand, an expertise

We start with better fabrics!

Bombard sportsboats are crafted from our own 1100 Decitex fabric which is significantly tougher than what is used in most other inflatables. It has been perfected to retain its original character even after years and years of prolonged exposure to ozone and the sun’s UV rays. It is particularly airtight and designed for the marine environment. Undisputable proof of it’s inherent qualities, the Bombard fabric comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty*.

Thermobonding**: the Bombard guarantee

This fuses the fabric together, as well as welding the inner and outer joining strips in a fully-automated heat-fusion process. So it is very reliable. You can tell by the excellent finish.

Boat structure: the Bombard safety

The hullshape of any boat is one of the most important criteria in its design. This is often overlooked by other inflatable manufacturers and the public, with the result being disappointing, wet or even dangerous handling characteristics. At Bombard, every single one of our hullshapes is in our Computer Aided Design programs*** which benefit from the latest marine software design to reproduce correct planing ability, effective resistance points, rigidity, comfort and safety.

A brand, a commitment

Boats that meet all standards All Bombard boats conform to ISO 6185, the rigorous design and technical specifications imposed by the International Organisation for Standardisation, and to the latest European certification n°94 25/CE. As well as that, Bombard is a member of NMMA, the US National Marine Manufacturers Association, and conforms to all the certification and approval requirements of AFNOR, DIN and R.I.N.A. which are respectively the French, German and Italian Standards Administrations.

Sea professionals - Bombard's answer

Scientific expeditions, sea rescue organisations, fishermen, diving or sailing clubs, all these activities require reliability and safety.

January/February 2006: An international team of explorers and speleologists headed by Bernard Tourte went to South America. With their Bombards (Commando C5, Typhoon, etc.), they explored the icy waterfalls and subterranean caves of Patagonia under extreme conditions.
