INNOVOCEAN Boats Engineering Centre

Best bangs for your bucks! I have been researching inflatable boats for 2 years before committing to buy one. I almost decided on a 1997 zodiac and realized that I could have basically the same boat, brand new, for a cheaper price!I placed my order and received my boat in Montreal in less than 48h. This is amazing. Julian has been of great help in answering my questions and taking care of everything.I finally put in on water this week-end and have been impressed by the quality of this boat (MA380).If you're looking for an inflatable boat, make sure to give them a call. Really impressed!

I purchased the MA380 with a 20hp Tohatsu outboard last spring. I used it for appropriately 100 hours fishing on lake Erie during summer of 2022. The boat is extremely stable, and handles rough water well. I had a couple of minor issues but the customer services was 5 star plus. The rod holders are a little weak for heavy trolling, but the design, build and accessories are fantastic, making a very enjoyable boat. I have made a few adjustments, adding a sonar, an electric trolling motor, some transit rod and net holders, plus 4 heavier rod holders. I can now pull planer boards and precisely control speed and direction. I am extremely happy with my purchase and ready for many more great seasons.

After 18 years, I was in need of new dinghy and motor. When I found out that there was a company selling a dinghy (inflatable boat) engineered and designed in Canada for Canadian waters I had to contact Innovocean Marine Inc. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous display of the various inflatable boats and accessories in the showroom. I was welcomed and taken care of by owner Julian, who was knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the Innovocean products. His enthusiasm was fantastic. I never felt pressured and Julian took his time with me. I would encourage everyone who is into boating and in need of an inflatable boat to visit Innovocean Marine Inc., in Oakville, and meet Julian and his dedicated sales team who share the same spirit. Once it was determined what my intended use was going to be with my dinghy, we talked outboards.Tohatsu Outboards. Before I visited Innovocean Marine I had done some research on Tohatsu outboards and was shocked to find out that they have been manufacturing outboards since 1956. Being from Canada, I hadn’t heard much about Tohatsu outboards. Tohatsu is a Japanese marine engine manufacturer. Today, they also make outboards for Mercury and Evinrude. A testament to the high standard of quality assurance at Tohatsu.I purchased the 9 foot Innovocean Dinghy and the Tohatsu MFS 9.8B. After reading all the dinghy assembly instructions (manual) and following assembly tips from Julian the dinghy went together with ease. There was no fighting or struggling during assembly. Everything went together just like it should. The aluminium honeycomb floor is lightweight and very strong. It also has a secure strap for the fuel tank. The fitment is excellent. It’s easy to clean too. There are ample handles to hold on to while underway or to carry or pick up the dinghy. There are tie eyes in the bow to secure supplies or gear. There are tow eyes on the bow for towing as a tender. There is a leg rope to help keep you in the dinghy in rough water conditions. The oars row this dinghy easily and have a decent stroke. They store nicely and are positioned perfectly. This dinghy model has the aluminium transom. The seat is also adjustable which has come in handy.After the engine break-in period I can say this engine dinghy combination is absolutely hands down one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! The fit and finish on everything is what you’d expect on something much more expensive. It handles rough water (Georgian Bay) and always feels stable and well planted. The engine delivers! It has a fantastic smooth throttle response. It’s linear acceleration, smooth idle, and quietness in operation is second to none.Would I recommend an Innovocean Dinghy and Tohatsu Outboard you bet! Would I recommend Innovocean Marine Inc. absolutely!Nigel GrinsteedTobermory

We (Our sailing club) just bought the ALD 390 (13 ft) from Julian. He patiently walked us through the capabilities of each boat before helping us narrow our choice down to two capable boats for our required mission. We chose the larger of the two boats. The process took several trips to his location (purchase was by consensus/committee) and never did he show anything but patience, graciousness and help during those visits.Even before the boat pickup, he phoned us several times to follow up on questions that he had been unable to answer on the spot. Great customer service!

I went in here looking for a great deal, and ended up walking out with a great boat at a fair price. The owner was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness but eventually guided me to the boat that would suit me best. Extremely happy with the sale so far, and I’m pretty confident that this boat will last a long time. It was great to buy the boat from the guy who designed them, and not a salesman pressuring you to buy. Overall extremely satisfied with the transaction.

I bought the 11 ft. back in the summer after considerable research. This boat has met all my expectations having used for the past several months. The boat is great for fishing and I also use it for photography. The construction and material used makes this boat one of the best I have seen. The owner Julien was great at explaining all facets of the boat and the workmanship that goes into it. The five year warranty and options that came with the boat when I bought made it make it clearly one of the best inflatable boats around. Anyone thinking about purchasing an inflatable boat should check this place out first. The location also makes it ideal as opposed to buying one in another province or from the USA.

Great satisfaction dealing with Julian. Besides carrying good product lines, he is very knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy. I strongly recommend this dealership if you are planning to buy any inflatable boat.

The owner is very professional and knowledgeable. We bought an inflatable boat from him, he guided me through the selection process and without ever pressuring me. As he recommended, we selected the right boat for the choppy waters of Lake Erie, and for the past two years we had no problems. This fall, I slightly damaged the boat during storage. I brought the boat right back to him and he fixed without a trace of the problem. Not only has the purchase experience been great with him but his service is reliable!! Amazing place to shop for quality inflatable boats!!!

We bought one of these inflatable boats and also purchased a motor, It is so easy to transport an inflate, we love our boat and had so much fun with it last year, we plan on taking it out even more this year, because our kids and grandkids want to go fishing and being pulled around the lake on tubes.We were given great customer care , from their very helpful and friendly staff !Thank you, everyone.

Loving my new inflatable boat from Innovocean! Huge selection and great customer service to help answer all questions and to help you get set up with the right equipment. Definitely recommend!
