The Honda Honwave T25-AE3 is a portable 2.5m inflatable boat that’s perfect for coastal explorations, fishing trips, or simply enjoying time on the water. Its extra-large buoyancy tubes and inflatable V-shaped keel work together to ensure a smooth ride and impressive stability, even when the water gets choppy. The rigid aluminum floor provides a sturdy deck underfoot, allowing you to stand and move around with confidence and comfort during your voyage.
Built with Honda’s renowned attention to quality, the Honwave T25-AE3 is constructed from a high-grade, 5-layer PVC fabric made in Europe. This material is extremely durable and resistant to UV rays, saltwater, fuel, and abrasions, ensuring the boat will last for many seasons of use. The seams are heat-welded (not just glued) for superior strength and airtight integrity. A robust, factory-fitted fiberglass transom at the stern provides a strong engine mount, and the transom’s integrated trim tabs improve handling and help the boat plane more quickly with a small engine. The hull is protected by a heavy-duty rubber strake running along the sides, shielding the inflatable tubes from impacts and wear. For safety, the Honwave T25-AE3 features multiple independent air chambers (3 main chambers + keel); even if one chamber were unexpectedly compromised, the boat will remain buoyant and stable, giving you time to reach shore safely. Honda prioritizes passenger security, and this design virtually eliminates any single-point failure risk.
The Honwave T25-AE3 can carry up to 3 adults (440 kg payload), providing ample capacity for a small crew and their gear. Despite its rugged build, the boat itself weighs only about 45 kg and packs down to a surprisingly compact size. Two people can easily carry it, launch it, and have it assembled in minutes. The aluminum floor panels are numbered for hassle-free assembly, and the entire boat fits into the included carry bag for convenient transport and storage. This model is an excellent choice for use as a standalone leisure craft or as a tender for a larger yacht or sailboat. Campers and adventurers will appreciate how reliable and easy-to-transport the T25-AE3 is – you can take it with you to virtually any waterside destination. When equipped with an outboard motor in the 4–6 HP range, the T25-AE3 delivers optimal performance – offering smooth, economical cruising, and the ability to get on plane when lightly loaded for quicker trips.
Every Honda Honwave inflatable boat comes with a comprehensive set of accessories. The T25-AE3 package includes: a carry storage bag, a puncture repair kit for emergency fixes, a pressure gauge to ensure proper inflation, two aluminum oars with oarlocks, a high-efficiency foot pump for fast inflating, and a sturdy bench seat. With this complete kit, you have everything required to set up the boat and head for the water right out of the box.
