What our clients are saying

Bill Hyland

“Excellent work from Scott and his crew at Annapolis Inflatables. They tried their best to repair a year 2000 Yamaha 200hp, but we finally had to agree that a new engine was the best path forward. Scott installed the engine, installed and a new Simrad GO 9 in mid-August, now have 25 hours on the engine, all running perfectly. Professionally completed at this certified Yamaha dealer, on-time and at a good price.”

“I never give five stars however they earned it, so my experience with them is this. I just bought a new hypalon dinghy, never hit water yet and I put a slice in it at the rub rail line. I was trying to prepare the boat material for glueing the new davit pads. I'm going on the loop in three days and i needed professional help to fix this tear and mount the davit pads and reg numbers.”

“The inflatable place of Annapolis. Other than West Marine, limited to less than Hypolon materials, it is the one and only that I know of in town. Service is good, prices are commensurate with location. Good quality products.”

“There are simply too many choices for a new dingy! These guys very quickly narrowed my choice down to the best one (really the only one) that met my weight restrictions. It was a very good experience & I would certainly recommend them if you need help making a choice of boats or even small engines.”
