After weighing pros and cons of many models, including construction, cost, and features, We have a labrador retriever and needed an inflatable boat that would store easily on our Hunter 36 and get us to the shore quickly. I choose the Dolphin 8.8. While it will be months before i put the boat in the water since our Hunter is winterized, i decided to check out the Dolphin in my basement. Size and weight were as expected for a quality durable inflatable. Unpacking was easy. Using the included footpump, I was pleasantly surprised that even with the separate inflation chambers (which i see as a very good feature) I was able to fully inflate the boat in approximately 10 minutes with minimal effort. Seat insertion, and oar lock were easy I was impressed on the inflatable keel size and anticipate it will certainly allow the boat to track well and riders to be comfortable. The inflatable floor seems incredible solid. We plan to lay some indoor/outdoor carpet to offer a measure of safety against the dog claws. The only weakness I can see is the inflation adaptor - for a measure of safety I will look for a spare adaptor so I am not left in a position of inflation through alternative means. Can't wait to get this boat in the water. Review: Great purchase- highly recommend - Love the dolphin 8.8- big improvement over my mercury and can't beat the price!

And is that the only difference between the $999 model and the $1099 model? Thanks!** A: The air floor is an inflatable floor board that blows up rock hard to 8 PSI. Same drop stitch design and material as an inflatable stand up paddle board. It deflates and rolls back up with the dinghy. The aluminum floor model is the exact same size as the dolphin 8.8' air floor, only difference is the aluminum floor inserts that take 3-5 minutes to pop in. It will not roll up with the dinghy, you have to store it separately. Hope that helps. Feel free to call Inflatable Sport Boats directly at 530-268-4757. They are based out of California and are very helpful. **Q: Where is this made?** A: I do not know where it is made, but it's horrible craftsmanship and I wouldn't take it anywhere without patches and a couple of good pumps and another person on board who could pump while someone else drove. I tried to return it around 45 to 60 days after I received it, but Amazon and the Inflatable boat people said the time had passed. That was a real "eye-opener" on Amazon ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IMPRESSIVE PRODUCT - DOLPHIN 8.8 *by C***C on January 10, 2018* Searched many inflatables in this range.

Highly recommend ### ⭐⭐ Will not plane. *by S***L on July 8, 2024* No matter what we did, we could not get this to plane with a 9.8hp Tohatsu. Tried more/less weight, moving things around, etc. It would get close and then the bow would bounce violently up and down, letting gallons of water over the transom. Considering the max HP is 10, I don't think it is possible. The floor is also impossible to fully flatten out, even following the instructions exactly. It might work well as a short distance tender with a trolling motor, as long as you don't mind the floor being bowed. We are returning ours and trying a different model. ## Frequently Bought Together - Inflatable Sport Boats Dolphin 8.8' Air Floor with EVA Foam Teak decking - Premium Heat Welded Dinghy - Inflatable Sport Boats Aluminum Bench Seat with Slide Attachments --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/35693077-dolphin-8-8-inflatable-dinghy-air-floor-with-eva-teak](https://www.desertcart.us/products/35693077-dolphin-8-8-inflatable-dinghy-air-floor-with-eva-teak) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
