I want to buy a new inflatable boat around 7 to 8 ft. It needs to carry 3 persons.
Where can I go? I want to see the boat in real rather than in catalogue.

Any shops ?
BTW, how much HP is suggested for such a small boat?

Thank you .

actually u can check out the yahoo auctions but i have no idea about the quality,or you can go to Aberdeen Shum Wan Rd. and Ap Lei Chau main street

u should get a 4 hp one bcoz it doesnt need a lisence

Biu Biu, 如果你要坐3個人，買隻7-8尺橡皮艇，個乘客會好驚囉，我建議你買隻約10尺既會好D。

Thank you, KK and someone.

Finally, I have brought a Zodiac 200 inflatable in Marina Cove Arcade.

I have also brought a Suzuki 2.5 hp 4 stroke.

But the seller of engine reminded me to go to get a license in Marine Department.

Is it necessary?

not necessary by law
necessary for knowledge and safety

anyway its just $4K sth for master+engineer lesson plus the exam fee and you drive 50ft max in lenght till you are 65 yrs old,why not go ahead right?

i'm just confused. the sellers all say a licence is needed. who is right then?

駕駛長度在3米以下而配置的機器馬力在4匹或以下，可豁免無須持有駕駛執照。

但學左有着數!

Thank you KK

But I mean the license of the boat but not of the driver,
I already have the pleasure vessel operator certificate of competency.

Can you give me more informations?

我只知一般要有三紙,大隻D要埋消防

橡皮艇就..........

I bought one last month with same case. I register Certificate of Ownership from Marine Department. with Boat Reg. No. It cost liability insurance approx. HKD 1000 and HKD 355 reg. fee.

Thank you EW

My inflatable boat is used as shore-to-ship boat only. Can I add the inflatable to my exist licensed boat?

Yes, you can. It should reg. belongs with master boat. Just cover additional from exist insurance with cover note and reg. to Marine.

Thank you for your information.

I have brought a inflatable boat (SEA EAGLE 8.10YT) on last year with Invoice date 22 Feb 08.It is brand new and cost totally HKD9077 shipped from USA ( shipping charge USD 164.78 by UPS). I do not use this boat since I have a 25' boat already. I can provide half price and if you are interest ,please sent me a Emial .

Thanks

為何時至今日，還有這麼的誤解！駕駛機動小艇不需要牌，和該小艇要否有牌，就正如駕駛執照和行車証的關系。千萬不要玩無行船証的艇，出了事，誤己誤人。

至於能否出tender牌，海事處會考慮你隻主艇能否搭載這隻tender，即是你隻主艇有足夠空間擺放你這inflatable tender。
