The Owner's Insights on the Floatables U-Dock Inflatable Boat Dock
The U shape is the point. Your boat noses into the bay and sits held on three sides, so it isn't swinging on a rope or bumping the deck every time someone steps off. You walk around it instead of climbing over it.
There are four sizes and the choice is mostly about your boat, not your budget. The Mini at 2.5 x 2m suits a jet ski or a small tinnie. The Single at 2.6 x 3.5m is the common pick. The XL versions at 3 x 3.5m come in single-engine and dual-engine bays, so match that to your transom.
It's built on Floatables' FloatWeave construction: 200mm thick PVC with double-layered side walls and their own inflation system, which is what makes it rigid to walk on rather than soft. Four dock connectors come in the box, so you can link it to another Floatables dock and build the platform out.

Why You Should Consider a Floatables Inflatable Dock
Floatables build inflatable docks in Australia around their FloatWeave construction, which is what gives them the rigidity you notice walking on one. This one carries a 2-year warranty. See the rest of the inflatable dock range.

Which size fits your boat?
This is the decision that matters, so get it right before you order. The Mini at 2.5 x 2m suits a jet ski or a small tinnie. The Single at 2.6 x 3.5m is the size most runabouts and half-cabins land on. The two XL versions are both 3 x 3.5m, and the difference between them is the bay: XL Single is shaped for one outboard, XL Dual for twin engines. Measure your beam and check your transom, then ring the store on 03 7056 6732 if you're between sizes.
Why a U-shape rather than a flat deck
A flat dock gives you one edge to tie against, and your boat swings on the rope with every wake and every person stepping aboard. The U holds it on three sides, so it stays put while you load the esky, get the kids off, or work on it. You also walk right around the hull rather than reaching across it, which is the difference between a pleasant afternoon and a wet one.
What FloatWeave actually means
It's Floatables' name for how their docks are put together: 200mm thick PVC, double-layered side walls, and their own inflation system. What you feel when you stand on it is rigidity. Cheap inflatable docks flex under your weight and roll when someone moves; this holds its shape. That's what makes it usable as a working platform rather than something you lie on.
Linking docks together
Four dock connectors come in the box, which is a hint about how people actually use these. Start with one U-Dock for the boat, add a flat deck alongside for people to sit on, and you've built a floating setup rather than bought a single product. The connectors let you reconfigure it too, so the summer layout doesn't have to be the same as the Easter one.
What's Included
- Floatables Drift Series U-Dock in your chosen size
- Hand pump
- Floatables repair kit
- Carry bag
- 4 dock connectors
- Floatables stubby holder
What's Not Included
- Anchor and rope
- Electric pump, if you'd rather not use the hand pump
- A second dock to link it to
It ships ready to use with the pump, the repair kit, the bag and four connectors. Worth adding an anchor and rope to suit your spot. If you want more standing room alongside it, look at the rest of the inflatable dock range.
Not Sure Which Inflatable Dock Suits You?
The U-Dock suits you if you moor a boat or a ski and you want it held steady rather than swinging, with room to walk around it. It's the wrong pick if you just want a flat platform for swimming and sunbaking, where a straight deck gives you more usable area for less money. It carries a 2-year Floatables warranty.
