Artigiana Battelli inflatables, with over 25 years of traditional handicraft mastery behind every one, are the best built inflatables on the market. We use only the highest quality materials and the most advanced technology available to meet discriminating boaters demands for safety, dependability, performance and styling. At Artigiana Battelli every boat is carefully designed and inspected. Each inflatable is handcrafted with exacting care, not mass produced. We use only the finest 5-ply Hypalon-neoprene coated polyester, proven durable in all climates and conditions, including long exposure to sunlight and rigorous everyday use.

Quality is only achieved when first-rate materials are combined with superior craftsmanship. Artigiana Battelli has been building inflatables for over 27 years under the experienced leadership of Mr. Gianni Perego, noted Italian inflatable designer. At AB we combine superior design with meticulous craftsmanship and proven materials, such as 5-ply Hypalon-neoprene coated polyester fabric, to create unmatched tube quality, advanced technology fiberglass floorboards, and double-molded hand laid hulls.

Thanks to our intensive research and advanced technology, we introduced in 1996 our revolutionary fiberglass floorboards that are maintenance free! These floorboards come standard with anti-skid finish for enhanced safety. Reinforced aluminum battens make up the framework of the floor structure providing the utmost in rigidity, and once again, no maintenance! Also standard, double-molded fiberglass transom and removable double-molded fiberglass rowing seat.

All AB RIBs are double-molded, hand laid and sealed to provide an airtight underdeck compartment. Our characteristic raised bows and layered deep 'V' are designed to add seaworthiness and give you a dry ride. Each AB inflatable is carefully designed to plane easily without excessive power. When weight is an important factor, AB is your best choice. Each model is meticulously engineered to be as light and as tough as possible. You can verify this toughness for yourself by walking through any of our RIBs as they lay on a hard surface.

Every seam on an AB inflatable tube is overlapped a full inch and reinforced by taping on the inside. Note AB's rounded tube ends, which you will not find on lesser-quality inflatables, which typically have pointed cones. It takes superior craftsmanship and more costly materials to manufacture rounded tube ends, but the result is a neat, quality finish with a rub rail that extends around the ends of the tube to protect the stern of the boat. Compare the large diameter tubes on all AB inflatables to the lesser tubes of our competitors. We use large tubes for each boat size to improve safety and seaworthiness, increase payload capabilities, and to give you a dry ride. Another example of how AB makes the extra effort to manufacture a better boat. All AB inflatables are built with a minimum of three air chambers, divided by a special baffle system that equalizes pressure in all three chambers. In addition, each tube is sized proportionately to the boats's hull dimensions, so you get the best ratio of boat length to interior space to weight possible.
