Paddle North is the originators of the high pressure inflatable water mat, the Utility Dock. With thousands of them in use and over a decade of experience in business, we're here to simplify your research process.  The Utility Dock is... A Swim Platform: Anchor it and leave it in the water for a season-long swim raft experience. A Sun Deck: Tow it behind your boat and enjoy it as a sun deck at the sand bar. A Dock Extension: Connect it to your dock to create a user-friendly launch point for kayaks, paddle boards, or jet skis. A Float Behind Your Boat: Transform it into a waist-deep water gathering spot for card games, happy hours, fish stories, and more. A Slip-and-Slide: Flip it over, add soap, and enjoy an exhilarating slip-and-slide experience. A Work Station: Utilize it for boat washing, boat engine maintenance, or as a stable platform for your boat lift. Notable Features Welded Seams & Regulated Pressure.   We introduced Pressure Regulators to combat heat exposure in 2018. When the air temperature is hot, the air pressure in your inflatable increases. The pressure regulator automatically lets air out and allows the utility dock to operate at higher pressures.   Multi Layer PVC (VS Single Ply) The biggest cost driver of any inflatable build is the thickness of the PVC used in its construction. Thin PVC is why inflatables have bad reputations for having durability issues. Yes, price matters, but making cheap inflatables that don't last more than a season or two is not the business we're in. We go way overboard and use three layer PVC, with reinforced RAILS that can withstand kids, dogs and even some cats? Yes, it is more expensive, but it'll last significantly longer and you won't have to deal with patches.    Available in Two Sizes Utility Dock: 9' long x 6' wide x 6'' thick - Supports over 1500 lbs Utility Dock XL: 12' long x 6' wide x 6'' thick - Supports over 2000 lbs
