Plate Floor
In this category you will find inflatable boats with full wooden floor and inflatable keel, also known as inflatable dinghies with rigid wooden floor, inflatable boats with wooden floor panels, inflatable boats with inflatable keel or Zodiac-style inflatable boats with wooden floor. They are a very balanced option for users looking for a more rigid and stable boat than a slat floor inflatable, but at a more affordable price than many aluminium floor models.
These boats use a removable floor made of full wooden panels, which fit together to create a firmer base inside the boat. In addition, the inflatable keel helps create a V shape under the hull, improving tracking, wave cutting and overall behaviour when navigating with an outboard motor.
If you are looking for an inflatable boat with wooden floor, an inflatable dinghy with inflatable keel, an inflatable fishing boat or a foldable tender boat with good stability, this category is one of the most interesting options.

Buy inflatable boats with full wooden floor
OZEAM inflatable boats with wooden floor are designed for users looking for a practical, stable and good value boat. The wooden panel floor provides more rigidity than a separated slat floor, allowing better movement inside the boat, safer equipment support and a more solid feeling when navigating.
These models are suitable for fishing, leisure, short trips, anchoring, tender use and coastal outings in calm conditions. They are also a good option for anyone looking for a foldable inflatable boat with motor without moving directly to a rigid inflatable boat or an aluminium floor model.
What is the advantage of wooden floor panels?
The full wooden floor offers a firmer platform than a slatted floor. The panels cover almost the entire inner base of the boat, creating a continuous and more comfortable surface for navigation, fishing or transporting equipment.
This type of floor is removable, so the boat can be deflated, folded and stored in transport bags. It is a practical solution for users who do not have a trailer, mooring or enough space to store a rigid boat.
Inflatable boats with inflatable keel
The inflatable keel is one of the main differences compared with flat bottom inflatable boats. When inflated, it creates a slight V shape under the boat, improving navigation behaviour, especially when using an outboard motor.
An inflatable boat with inflatable keel usually tracks better, turns with more control and cuts small waves better than a boat without keel. For this reason, it is a more recommended option for users who want greater stability and comfort on the water.
Difference between slat floor, full wooden floor and aluminium floor
Slat floor
A slat floor is the simplest and lightest option. It is designed for calm use, fast assembly and an affordable price, but it offers less rigidity.
Full wooden floor
The wooden panel floor provides more rigidity, better support and greater comfort. It is a very interesting middle option for fishing, leisure and navigation with a moderate engine.
Aluminium floor
An aluminium floor is usually more resistant and durable for frequent or more demanding use. In return, it normally increases weight and can have a higher price.
What are they recommended for?
- For recreational fishing in calm waters.
- For short trips near the coast.
- As an auxiliary tender for sailboats, yachts or larger boats.
- For anchoring, swimming and family leisure.
- For use with electric or petrol outboard motors, depending on the model.
- For users who want a foldable boat but with more rigidity than a slat floor model.
- For transport by car, van, camper or motorhome.
Inflatable boats for fishing and leisure
Inflatable boats with wooden floor and inflatable keel are very interesting for light fishing and leisure because they combine stability, interior space and easy transport. The rigid floor allows more comfort on board and better placement of rods, bags, cooler, fuel tank, anchor or other accessories.
For frequent fishing, heavier users or more equipment, it is advisable to choose a suitable size and always check the maximum capacity, allowed weight and maximum engine power indicated by the manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions about inflatable boats with wooden floor

Can they be used with an engine?
Yes, provided that the model has a transom and the maximum power recommended by the manufacturer is respected. They can be used with compatible electric motors or petrol outboard motors.
Are they better than slat floor boats?
For navigation with motor, fishing or greater stability, yes. They are more rigid and comfortable. In return, they weigh slightly more and require more assembly time.
