About Valiant

Founded in 1994, Valiant Boats is a leading manufacturer of rigid inflatable boats (RIB) from 8 to 39 feet in length.    Valiant Boats has a full line of both leisure and commercial duty RIBs that are distributed and used worldwide by demanding and discriminating boaters. 

Valiant craft are manufactured with a highly industrialized process, guaranteeing greater reliability with a constant and uniform quality. Through design, planning and development with the most advanced techniques of CAD/CAM, production of the craft is automated and robotized in the main production stages, having advanced environmental controls for the manufacturing of GRP, where applied high technology eliminates vapors and by products.

Valiant uses AKRON TPE, a specially formulated material, for our tubes.  The main characteristic of this material can be summarized as having an extremely high resistance to abrasion, UV and chemical degradation.

In 2001 the Quality Management System of Valiant has been certified ISO 9001:2000 which applies to: design, manufacture and repair management for semi-rigid inflatable boats.
