The company I work for bought an inflatable boat from Big Duck. No issues with the boat, great quality. Delivery time can be faster though. After a few months, they contacted me and offered me a thermic bag for free, and that's a really nice initiative. Keep the good work. Cheers

My 2.3 metre Big Duck Inflatable is the perfect tender boat for my 30’ Searay sports cruiser. I purchased it just over 5 years ago and it’s still going strong! It’s the perfect size to mount on my transom swim platform and it’s so stable for 2-3 people to head across to the beach or to go snorkelling around the wrecks at Tangalooma on Moreton Island, our favourite boating destination!

Australian founded, Gold Coast made good

Two Brothers, One Mission

Big Duck was founded in 2015 by two Gold Coast brothers who grew up on the water. The mission was simple: get more people out there without breaking the bank. Every boat is built from high-quality, long-lasting materials — and because it's inflatable, it packs down and stores easily. More time on the water, less time worrying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does inflation take?
  • Inflation and set up with the provided foot pump takes just 15 minutes. With our electric pump, this takes just 5 minutes or less.
  • Deflation takes just 5-10 minutes.
How long do Big Duck dinghies last?

Several years. We have customers from our beginning back in 2015, who regularly report that their Big Duck’s are still going strong. Our materials are designed to be hard wearing and stand up against the hard Aussie sun. Even our primary hull material has been chosen carefully to reduce colour fading.

Can I use my Big Duck for fishing?

Yes, fishing (and general adventuring) is the most common usage for Big Duck dinghies. Along with broader tender usage, camping, diving, surfing and much more. The best part about our hulls is the aluminium folding floor system. This is ideal for fishing. The floor gives you the stability to stand up inside the boat and also the rigidity to increase overall performance. 

Many other brands are still producing air decks, which you can not stand on safely, nor are they hard wearing or long-lasting. We do away with the older air deck design and instead, we implement our industry-leading aluminium folding floor system. Our floor adds several benefits, including increased performance thanks to improved rigidity, greater comfort and safety aboard, plus also a longer lasting, more durable primary working surface.   

Furthermore, the benefits of the folding floor mean that you can deflate your hull and pack everything up into the provided carry bag and stow your Big Duck for transport or storage.

The Big Duck range has been designed around longevity and extended performance. We honour and service your 12-month warranty in house, from here in Australia. All Big Duck hulls go through a 3-stage quality control process, leak test and pressure test before arriving to our customers.  

Where are Big Duck’s made?

Big Duck’s are made in a dedicated temperature controlled factory in Shenzhen, China. Big Ducks are imported directly by our brand and we honour your 12-month warranty here from within Australia. Big Duck is 100% Australian owned and operated.

Do I need a boat license?

Yes, you would need a Recreational Marine Driver License to operate your dinghy if it is powered by an outboard. If you’re only using your dinghy with the provided oars, no license would be required but you cannot attach an outboard motor.
