Sevylor

About Sevylor: A Pioneer in PVC Inflatable Watercraft

Sevylor was founded in France in 1948 and emerged as a pioneer in the construction of PVC inflatables, with its boats and beach toys arriving in North America in 1959. The company grew from World War II innovations in polymer plastics, which trickled down into recreational watercraft and other inflatable products ranging from sleeping mattresses to beach balls. What began as a small postwar operation would eventually grow into one of the world's most recognized names in inflatable water sports equipment.

A Legacy Built on Innovation

The brand merged with the Zodiac label of inflatable powerboats in 1981 and later joined forces with American outdoor giant Coleman/Stearns in the early 2000s. In the fall of 2006, Sevylor was purchased by Stearns Inc., a subsidiary of Newell Brands, known for its marine and outdoor products. These partnerships helped broaden Sevylor's reach and resources, while keeping the brand focused on its core mission of making the water accessible to everyone.

Some of Sevylor's notable innovations include the Air Tight System®, Double Lock Valve™, and Snap 'N' Stay™ system, among others. Sevylor inflatable boats and kayaks use multiple independent air chambers, allowing the structure to remain partially inflated if one chamber loses air during typical recreational use — a safety feature that gives paddlers and boaters added peace of mind on the water.

Sevylor Inflatable Boats

At the heart of the Sevylor lineup are its inflatable boats, which cover a remarkably wide range of use cases. Today, Sevylor's innovative designs range from inflatable boats to whimsical floats, with different items including tenders, hunting and fishing boats, specialty boats and kayaks, and other accessories. Whether you're a weekend angler looking for a packable fishing platform or a family seeking a fun day on the lake, there's a Sevylor inflatable boat designed with your adventure in mind.

At Sevylor, the aim is simple: to make high-quality, affordable inflatable water sport and recreation products that encourage people to get outside and have fun. All of Sevylor's high-quality products feature construction and materials engineered for safety and long life. That commitment to value without sacrificing reliability is a defining trait of the brand, and one of the primary reasons it has maintained its following for more than seven decades.
