There is a huge focus in our world to go green. This is due to the realization that the world has only a fixed amount of natural resources and an ever expanding population. Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to preserve the rain forest, it can also mean improving your health, padding your bank account, and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life.

Owning a Porta-Bote is just one of the many choices you can make towards that greener lifestyle. The high performance, lightweight design and portability of the Porta-Bote make it the eco-friendly choice.

Save Energy and Money with Porta-Bote

People often drive several hours pulling a boat and trailer to the lake. With a Porta-Bote, you don’t need a trailer. Just fold your lightweight Porta-Bote, strap it to your gas saving car and go.

The Porta-Botes high performance hull design and lightweight characteristics allow you to row or paddle the boat easily. Improve your health by rowing or paddling where you need to go.

Use an electric trolling motor. These perform very well with a Porta-Bote. In fact you can even plane on one of our Porta-Botes with a 50+ lb thrust trolling motor (single occupancy).

Porta-Bote requires half the horsepower of other boats to achieve the same performance. Heavy aluminium boats and flat bottom inflatable boats require much larger and heavier outboards to obtain equivalent speeds. With a Porta-Bote, you can plane on a tiny 3.5 HP motor. You can literally boat all day on 3.8 litres (1 gallon) of gasoline.

There is no need to install a hitch and proper electrical wiring on your vehicle.

Save money by not having to purchase a trailer and then license/insure it year after year.

There is no need to pay to put your boat in storage every year. Just fold your boat and hang it in your garage or basement.

No need to pay fees at the lake to use the boat launch. With the Porta-Bote you can launch your boat anywhere.
