Honda Honwave T20-SE3 Inflatable Boat – 2.0m Slatted Floor Tender

The Honda Honwave T20-SE3 demonstrates how something small can be incredibly useful and reliable. This 2m inflatable boat with a slatted (ribbed) hard floor is designed with convenience and mobility in mind. Setup is extremely easy – the floor consists of integrated slats that unroll with the boat, with no need to insert separate floorboards. This means you can get it ready for the water in just a few minutes. Weighing in at around 27 kg, the T20-SE3 is light enough for one person to carry, and its compact packed dimensions (approximately 107×60×32 cm) allow it to fit in the trunk of almost any car.

Despite its small size, the boat is engineered with oversized tubes (40 cm diameter) that provide excellent buoyancy and stability. The hull has a flat bottom with no inflatable keel, which is optimal for calm waters – it offers steadiness when boarding and shallow draft for easy beach landings. The Honwave T20 features 3 separate air chambers for added safety. A single rigid bench seat is included, which can be installed to give the occupant a comfortable place to sit while operating or riding in the boat.

Performance-wise, this boat can be equipped with a tiny outboard motor (2.3–4 HP recommended, short shaft). With a 4 HP engine, the Honwave T20 reaches a respectable speed for short hops or shoreline cruises, and its low weight helps it plane easily with a light load. Of course, you can also use it as a rowing dinghy – the lightweight aluminum oars and rotating oarlocks make rowing straightforward and efficient. For safety, reliable valves (with an automatic pressure relief system) protect against overinflation, and an all-around grab rope is there for passengers to hold onto if needed.

The Honda Honwave T20-SE3 is ideal as a tender for a larger vessel – it’s small enough to stow on board and inflates quickly to ferry two people and some gear from ship to shore. It’s also great for anglers and explorers on inland waters – a stable yet portable platform you can take anywhere.

• Perfect yacht tender: Small enough to fit in a locker or on deck, and quick to inflate, it can effortlessly take you from ship to shore and back whenever needed
• Camping and exploration: An excellent companion for campers – easily transported and allows access to secluded river banks or lake islands that larger boats can’t reach
• Fishing in calm waters: Stable for two people, ideal for lake fishing or quiet bay angling; you can kneel or sit on the bench comfortably while casting your line
• Easy beach launching: The flat bottom with no keel means the boat can be brought right up to the sand – it’s easy to hop in from the beach or pull it ashore without snagging the bottom
• Minimal maintenance: The high-quality PVC fabric and simple design mean fewer parts to worry about – after use, just rinse with fresh water, let it dry, and fold it back into its carry bag
