Quicksilver Sport HD 470 Inflatable Boat – 4.7m Heavy-Duty, 10 Person

Representing the pinnacle of Quicksilver’s inflatable engineering, the Sport HD 470 is built to tackle the most demanding tasks on the water. At 4.7 meters in length, it provides an expansive working area and unmatched capacity among Quicksilver inflatables. Constructed with the same 1.2mm high-strength PVC and heavy-duty design principles, but on a larger scale, the Sport HD 470 is incredibly resilient. Its seams and critical points are reinforced to withstand the strain of a 60 HP engine and a fully loaded vessel. The enormous tubes (Ø50 cm) give it exceptional buoyancy and stability even under maximum load, and the rigid aluminum floor easily supports crew movement and heavy gear. With room for up to 10 people or 1300 kg of cargo, the capabilities of the Sport HD 470 are impressive. It can serve as a workhorse for commercial operations – water taxi service, island transport, or harbor duties. For diving expeditions, the boat carries a full team with equipment to remote sites, providing a stable platform in open waters. Even for adventure groups, its size and power allow reaching far-off destinations that smaller boats cannot safely access. Despite its size, the boat can still be deflated and moved when needed – though a serious transport vehicle and team are required, given its ~110 kg weight. Every aspect of the Sport HD 470 is designed with reliability and safety in mind. Multiple reinforced handles and lifting points aid in handling on land or hoisting with a crane. The external lifeline along the entire perimeter gives passengers a hold in rough seas. Sturdy rings on the bow and stern allow the boat to be towed or to tow other vessels. Quicksilver supplies a full set of accessories – a robust bench seat, oars for backup propulsion, and a high-capacity pump to fill the large tubes quickly. A repair kit is included as well, emphasizing the professional grade of this model. When maximum size, power, and durability are required in an inflatable form, the Sport HD 470 is the ultimate solution.

• Ideal for commercial operators who need a reliable large boat for passenger transport, water taxi duties, or hauling cargo over water
• Trusted by expedition and research teams for its ability to safely carry heavy equipment and personnel to remote areas
• Excellent for dive charters or rescue services where a stable, spacious platform and powerful engine are critical for quick response
• Provides a flexible alternative to rigid-hull boats, combining high capacity and performance with the convenience of being deflatable for transport when needed
