Honda Honwave T30-AE3 Inflatable Boat – 3.0m, Aluminum Floor, Air Keel, 4-Person Capacity

With a length of nearly 3 meters, the Honda Honwave T30-AE3 inflatable boat provides extra space and versatility for your on-water adventures. This 4-person model remains portable and relatively light, yet it offers greater payload capacity and the ability to handle a more powerful engine. Its extra-large inflatable tubes and refined hull design (featuring a new bow roller and shape) ensure smooth cruising and superb stability in a variety of conditions – from calm lakes to light coastal chop. The sectional aluminum floor gives the boat rigidity and durability, allowing passengers to move around on board safely and confidently. If you take your fun on the water a bit more seriously, the T30-AE3 with its aluminum deck is a tough, high-capacity option that can keep up with more demanding uses.

Like all Honwave inflatables, the T30-AE3 is built from premium European-made PVC fabric that’s engineered to withstand UV rays, saltwater exposure, fuel, and abrasion. The air chambers are all heat-welded for leak-proof strength and long-term durability. A heavy-duty fiberglass transom comes factory-installed to support larger outboards (up to 15 HP) securely, even at full throttle. The rear of the hull features integrated trim tabs that contribute to excellent handling and help the boat plane quickly, even when loaded. For protection, an all-around thick rubber strake shields the tubes from bumps and scrapes. The Honwave T30-AE3 also incorporates multiple independent air chambers (3 + keel) for safety – if one chamber were to lose pressure, the others would keep the boat afloat and balanced so you can return to shore safely.

With a capacity of up to 4 people and a 610 kg payload, the Honda T30-AE3 lets you bring the whole family and plenty of gear – whether it’s a cooler, camping equipment, or fishing tackle. The larger size means more comfort on longer outings. Even so, this boat is still quite manageable to transport – weighing about 54 kg and packing down into its own carry bag. Two people can assemble and inflate it in a short time, thanks to the modular floorboards and user-friendly inflation valves. For yacht and sailboat owners, the T30-AE3 makes an excellent tender that can ferry more passengers and supplies in a single trip, and reach shore faster when paired with a higher horsepower motor. Outfitted with a capable outboard (say 10–15 HP), the T30-AE3 can achieve impressive speeds – enough not only for quick hops between destinations, but also for towing small inflatable water toys (such as a tube or banana boat) for added fun. Despite the higher speeds, the boat maintains stability and control, owing to its solid construction and well-designed keel and hull.

The Honda Honwave T30-AE3 comes with a full set of standard equipment, so you’re ready to hit the water. Included are: a sturdy carry bag, a repair kit for any minor punctures, a high-output foot pump, a pressure gauge to ensure proper inflation levels, two aluminum oars with oarlocks, and a comfortable bench seat. In other words, you get everything you need to set up the boat – just add your preferred outboard engine and you’re good to go.

Recommended Uses and Tips:

• Family outings and leisure cruises – plenty of room for up to 4 people and gear, ideal for exploring coastlines or reaching secluded beaches together
• Fishing trips and light watersports – a stable platform for angling with a few friends; with a 10–15 HP motor, it can even tow small inflatable water toys (tube, banana) for some extra excitement
• As a larger tender for a yacht – can carry more passengers and provisions between ship and shore, and makes quicker trips when equipped with a higher-power engine
• River and lake expeditions – its sturdiness and size allow for longer journeys and it can handle a bit of chop on inland waters with ease
• Recommended engine: around 10 HP for an optimal balance of speed and control (max 15 HP) – this unleashes the boat’s full potential while maintaining easy handling
